Hey everyone I would like to begin by saying I am very impressed by everyone’s willing to help one another here and the general level of kindness. This is my first post and it is in regards to UNCW's film school to which I am entering as a freshman. I was curious as to if anyone is familiar with it and has any opinions. I also wanted to express my concern over the fact that it is not a widely known film school and everyone here largely focuses on the big (and expensive schools) around the nation such as USC,UCLA,NYU,Chapman,ect. I simply couldn't afford to go these larger schools and NCSA wasn’t really what I was looking for. I don’t know I guess I just got kind of nervous reading all of these posts about these major schools and wondered if anyone else is coming from a smaller and less known (but still quality)school such as myself and what their thoughts are. Thank you all.

Hey, I came from ODU's "film" Program and then transfered to UNCSA.

All I have to say is just make films. Plenty of people break into the industry without going to a "Name" school. Those schools do have the networking facto, but besides that film school are almost the same.

I know NCSA wasnt for you which is fine, but I do have experience in dealing with lesser known film programs such as ODU.
