New York Film Academy...

<p>Well, I just have a question about this place and if I should consider taking a summer program here for screenwriting. </p>

<p>It's an 8 week program (for 2,500) and for beginners. I've never attempted writing any screenplays (although halfway through a screenwriting book I bought), so I'm most definitely a beginner.</p>

<p>It seems like a really interesting and intensive course. At the end you even have a completed screenplay. However, not sure if there are better programs out there (found some Gotham one that is once a week for 10 weeks, but it's filled). </p>

<p>Well, I'm just curious if someone interested in screenwriting should try this or not. I get 8 credits for it, but not sure if it'll count towards anything considering I'm not a film major. However, at the school I am hoping to transfer to after when I'm a junior (Fall '07) has a Screenwriting course that they say counts towards your 6 creative writing electives (I'll be english/psych major). So, do you think that they'd likely accept these 8 credits? I'd hope so. </p>

<p>Well, I just want advice on this. I'm still not sure if I should take it, although I really want to. I know it'll be a lot of work over the summer (class M - F and lots of outside work), but it'll keep me busy and I'll be learning something I'm really interested in.</p>

<p>Opinions/Advice wanted, thanks.</p>

<p>Just bumping this back up...</p>
