My son takes several of the upper production classes as part of his (School of Music) multimedia/music tech degree and really enjoys the department.

Are you most interested in review/analysis, writing, or production?
The SAC degree usually requires successful completion of some core film “academic”/critical courses before advancing to production or screenwriting classes. If you like to write, there is an outstanding screenwriting seminar completely worth attending.

Sorry I can’t give you any direct information. I am a wee bit familiar with portfolio-based pure production/BFA degrees at places like Tisch NYU, USC etc due to a past life ;)

While SAC is not a portfolio/talent-based admission like those programs, it’s a solid program nonetheless with some great connections at a fabulous school populated with some terrific actors, composers, sound engineers – so you have at your disposal the right environment to make really solid films if you’re so inclined.
