The public scrutiny element they don't teach you in film school. So few people are ever subjected to it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don't give the students an idea of what's happening.
It's a very good thing for students also to be exposed to people who aren't film students or film scholars but who work in the world of film.
The public's nerves are raw and edgy. You have to be discreet and understanding about the films you are showing.
It's the thing they don't teach you in film school - what happens after you finish your movie.
When you make a film, you like to run it with an audience. They tell you you're narrow-minded or subjective, or that seems too long, or that doesn't work.
I'm a believer in film school.
I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.
I never studied film formally at school, but as a kid, I spent most of my time in cinemas.
Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.
Film, therefore, is part of society, not distant from it, easy to experience for people regardless of class.
