<p>If you’re worried about financial aid then honestly I would look at the most affordable college with the best program. If you’re going to have to take out a lot of loans for this then you’re not going to want to be paying the tuition cost of most of those schools. Film is an incredibly difficult industry to break into. You have to first be able to afford to live somewhere where films are being made, which might mean relocating. You also have to be able and willing to take small jobs to start climbing up the ladder, and those salaries aren’t the best for paying back college loans. I really don’t want to sound like the negative voice here, but I just like to point out the realism of things. </p>
<p>It never hurts to apply, apply, apply and see what scholarships you might get, but if you start to realize you’re going to have to rely on a lot of loans then that’s usually the time to look at other options.</p>
