Then think seriously about pursuing USC, NYU, Chapman! The three best (AFI is only grad school). Personally I think Chapman is the best because every student is required to do their own projects, not just the top few selected and then others work on the director/screenwriter projects of others. USC/NYU do not really give merit. Chapman is extremely generous with merit even if you apply ED. Perfect size for you son too. Forget testing, you don’t need it to get into any of the film schools. Focus on grades and doing film programs in summer and throughout the year just creating and experimenting!
