Film Production: LMU vs Wesleyan, Los Angeles vs Middletown

I spent time at LMU before transferring to Chapman. Personally I found the program to be far less film focused than I wanted. I knew of course that it was a B.A. program, not a B.F.A, but I was a bit shocked at how little of my film degree was focused on film. If you are really sure you want to do film, and aren’t interested in staying broad, I don’t recommend B.A. programs like LMU. I felt more like a “general LMU student” than a “SFTV student”. I wanted much more serious study in movie making, and that wasn’t LMU undergrad. – Since I knew for sure what I wanted to do, I am much happier in a program that is 100% about my interest.

I didn’t apply to Wesleyan, I can’t speak to that university.
