Is Film School A Waste Of Time? | Brutal Filmmaking Advice!

It’s one of the biggest decisions an aspiring filmmaker will ever face. Film school promises connections, structure, and industry knowledge. Making your own film promises experience, mistakes, and real-world lessons you can’t get in a classroom.
