<p>Can anyone recommend colleges with film production, direction or screenwriting majors? Has anyone heard of Full Sail school near Orlando, Florida? Any information would be helpful. Thanks</p>

<p>The colleges that person is looking at are probably up your alley (NYU, USC, etc.), and they posted a link to more helpful information about film schools. Good luck.</p>
<p>USC is the best, UCLA is tough because it's junior-yr admission only but is a good program nonetheless. Chapman University in Orange, CA is almost to the point of being the rival film school to USC (it is already more than UCLA, it seems). Loyola Marymount is also in the Los Angeles area, and is less competitive for admission but has a pretty good reputation for film</p>
<p>Those are the 4 colleges I'm applying to for film</p>
<p>Full Sail is a technically oriented, for-profit, institution. You'll get the basics of filmmaking but not the academic education that young filmmakers need. I would avoid art school for film education for a similar reason. You will not be a well-educated person when you graduate. Art school in film is fine at the graduate level.</p>
<p>If you are determined to look at art school you should consider the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem. It's the campus in the UNC System that concentrates on all things arty and it has an outstanding film program, <a href="http://www.ncarts.edu/ncsaprod/ncsahome/ncsa_home.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.ncarts.edu/ncsaprod/ncsahome/ncsa_home.html</a>. BTW, talking about North Carolina, UNC-Chapel Hill has a minor in writing for screen and stage, <a href="http://www.unc.edu/drama/writing.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.unc.edu/drama/writing.html</a>. </p>
<p>USC has a screewriting major for undergrads.</p>
<p>makkuroi,
I was just looking at the Chapman website. They have a large undergrad film program (I think there were 700 or so undergrads?). So, I am wondering if Chapman's film program's admissions are less competitive than other top programs. Does anyone know?</p>
