Hey guys, Searching for a good place to study Film Production In Scotland since I wasn't excepted by RSAMD. God that makes me sound like a hack eh?

So I'm giving North America thought. Anyone know some good place in Canada and The United States? And how there foreign student acceptance works? (ew I'm a foreigner)

Toronto has a good film school called the Toronto Film school, but if your going into production I think that The International Academy of D & T is the place for you to go.:)

Thanks, The way things are going I may leave it for another year. That's good tho Because I can hopefully film and write some more projects.

Do you possibly have a web link for those?

Three ideas here, (sorry this is way after your post, but if you're still there, you could use a name!)

One would be Manhattan School of Visual Arts. That's where Patrick went and he loved it. I guess he never finished, though. He builds sets for plays, he doesn't make movies?!

Second, my daughter, 21 (and gorgeous) attends Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. They have a wicked interesting "media studies" program. It's not a "film school" but there's film school within this school, I guess you can say. I know my daughter'll be making movies in no time, she's made a bunch of shorts, mostly horror, and they're incredible and unique. She's also a strait A student :) :) yep I'm a proud Mama!

Third and lastly, if I were from another country and I could go ANYWHERE? I'd go to UCLA film school. That's where Jim Morrison (of the Doors) went. For that reason alone, I'd attend that one :) I've seen some of the crazy stuff he created while he went there, pretty interesting. Who knows if he was inspired by his schooling there to be that creative, or he was just creative and happened to go there. Anyhoo

well, good luck!

"Washington State University and The University of Washington, from what I have heard, not only have good Film Classes, they also have good Film Industry Contacts as well."

Thanks guys, I'm waiting to here from the only other University in the country that runs a film course to get back to me. God why do so many Unis run film Theory courses and so few Practical courses. surly that would breed a media society where few films where made yet lots of people would critique them thus creating an anti-entertainment (Hollywood) style of film making. Ah That's why Scotland makes so much guff.
