Cass, it doesn’t look like you are getting any response to your question. I don’t really know much about the area that you are considering but I can tell you about my son’s experience. He is a first year producing fellow at the American Film Institute, a 2-year graduate program. His program sounds like what you are talking about. I don’t know if this type of program exists at the undergraduate level. As an undergrad film major at a small LAC, he took theory, history, screenwriting, production, etc., and most importantly, got practical experience with three internships in his field.
As a producing major at AFI, he is involved in budgeting, finding the locations, cast and crew, working on sets, and I am sure hundreds of other jobs that he hasn’t told his parents the details. He sometimes work from 7 am until 11 pm. Most weekends are spent working on either his own or his classmates films. I just talked to him a few days ago and he said that he HOPES that he can come home for a week this summer but will probably be in LA working on his thesis film and an internship most of the summer. He loves what he is doing but it is very time consuming–and expensive. It is nearly impossible to work even part-time while in this program.
Good luck in your career search.
