This is just off the top of my head, but they have BFA programs at Florida State, U. Miami, Central Florida and U. Florida. It seems like they have good BA programs at Rollins and Florida International as well. Florida State has one of the top Film schools around, so you could potentially get a lot of experience doing student films there as well as getting a reel going even in their BA. There are apparently a lot of commercials shot in Miami as well.

Oh, and I’m actually a New York based fresh graduate, but I’ve been exceedingly lucky to have signed with one of the agencies that packages films and has started looking to me as a go to for certain types of roles. Besides my showcase, I’ve only been to Lala Land once for a callback. I’m still fairly green to the biz and just calling it like I see it, but it‘s good to know someone who‘s been around longer has seen the same. :)

Some of the old timers who remember my early days on the forum and my total lack of interest in on-camera work are probably chuckling a bit. My ambition starting out was playing the classics in the top tier Regionals and I still look forward to my return to the stage. I actually crave it and am doing all I can to keep those chops up though it might be over a year before that happens … Yin. And. Yang. :)
