Hello, indietalk members,
I am looking for some guidance in film making, that I'm in real need for, I feel like British residents will be more useful for this, because they know the education system better than foreigners, but feel free to give your view, point, advice etc. Thanks.
I've joined a college, and planning to work my way up to do Film at a Scottish university, since I live there of course. But I feel like the course isn't very helpful, and is a waste of time.
I was thinking, this may be a mad idea to some, but I feel like I don't have to actually go through that whole process, and end up getting myself in student debt, I mean why can't I learn all the techniques by myself, and make my own films, with a production company, or other film makers in the same position as myself.
I'd be happy to learn everything, while having a part time job to get some pennies in, while planning, writing, directing my own films, enter them into to film festivals, and see what happens, I mean didn't Quentin Tarantino first get noticed when he entered "Reservoir Dogs" into a film festival.
Also, I am planning on moving to New York in the future, through a good friend of mines, what will surely help.
I would like to hear others people's opinion on this, advice, and such.
Thanks,
Adam.
