Im not a film major…but I can give you some advice.

To your question of whether or no you can transfer into a good film school; It depends on the calibre of the department within the school. First of all, if you want to transfer, you’re going to need to take some form of standardized testing. The fact that you dont have any SATs or ACTs will allow any school to deem you ineligible to apply. You can either take the ACTs or SATs, or accumulate enough credits at your CC so that colleges dont consider your HS GPA and Standardized testing scores. The number of credits for that point is probably going to be different for every school. As I just said, your HS gpa can be over ruled by your CC GPA, but you need to do very well. If you were at a 4 year university, a decent GPA that would allow you to transfer effectively would be a 3.3 and up, but since you are at a CC, you should try to get atleast a 3.7 and up. Now, all of that info I just gave you is the basics for transferring to ANY SCHOOL and ANY DEPARTMENT/MAJOR.

As for Film, I know that USC has one of the best if not the best Film studies program in the world…George Lucas went there. They always send their students to the best Film production and Computer Graphic/design companies. Although, I heard their portfolio for admissions is quite demanding.

I think the first paragraph was very unnecessary, but eh, just some advice for you I guess.

bonne chance!
