<p>A few days ago, I got into a discussion with my uncle </p>

<p>who feels that there’s really no need for anyone to </p>

<p>study film much more to take up an </p>

<p>[immersion</a> </p>

<p>course for a year](<a href="http://www.filmschool.ph/index.php%5Dimmersion"&gt;http://www.filmschool.ph/index.php). I’m 21 and I decided to </p>

<p>take an immersion film course at the International </p>

<p>Academy of Film and Television (Blowed my parents </p>

<p>mind off when I told them it was in Asia!). Although </p>

<p>I understand where he is coming from, I beg to </p>

<p>disagree with him on a lot of things. If there’s </p>

<p>anything that I’ve learned is school is that </p>

<p>filmmaking demands the integration of many kinds of </p>

<p>knowledge and skill that one gets from hands-on </p>

<p>training, classroom instruction and actual film </p>

<p>production. These are the why’s that help you answer </p>

<p>the how’s!</p>

<p>Ooh, I love haikus!</p>

<p>Every so often</p>

<p>someone posts oddly like this</p>

<p>and I laugh loudly</p>

<p>Lol. Yea I want to study film in South Korea but my parents wouldn't let me. So I'm at Emerson College.</p>

<p>A lot of people think there isn't any money in filmmaking but that's not true. They also think its a very pretentious major with weird kids talking about Citizen Kane and Psycho nonstop but that's also not true.</p>

<p>Film production requires A LOT of hard work and talent.</p>
