I was just wondering what a good film school is around the detorit area. i am thinking about York in Canada. If there is better i would like to know.
Chase..

In Canada, near the GTA, we have York and Ryerson which, from what I've heard and read, are some of the better ones in the great-white-north. But this is coming from a person who is applying this year and is in high-school and going through the same dilemna.

Hey Mr. Blonde - I also live in Ontario and in gr. 12. What other schools are you applying to? I am thinking Ryerson, York ... Concordia. I haven't considered the colleges much yet.

There are a LOT of filmmakers from York at the Next Reel Festival going on here right now. Don't know how good one has to be to get accepted to this festival, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.

Right Now Ryerson, York, and Queen's, the last is in my town which is helpful on shelter. I'm not considering colleges either I mean, like $90 application package (3) to College on top of $100 application pack (3) to University, not to mention $33 for every additional single application, I swear Ontario is trying to **** us.

That is true ... at Queen's, is it just film studies or production too?

If you don't mind me asking, what are your marks like? Have you made several films?

I think Queen's is a bit of both like you study, then you produce.

My marks are in the mid-high 70's to mid 80's depending on the course, so far I've made/making about five films, three of which I produced/wrote/assistant-direct, and two of which I went auteur style on, basically doing everything (one-man-production), the first of which was well received, and the second is being editted.

I've also written way-more than produced, like three features, and like 6-7 shorts.

What are your marks at and what movies have you made in you career?

My marks are mid-80s to low-90s (hopefully will stay that way throughout this year). So far, I haven't made too much. My friends and I started a movie, but never have time to work on it that fits all of our schedules. I've also created videos for school projects, but not 'films', per se. Unfortunately, I live in a small town where there is no film market and there are no resources at my school for me to use ... I'm going to try to make a better film this year ...

I hope you get to make your films this year, I live in a small town too, and my film programs all just downsized/the major program which was all day stopped *secretly* in the summer. Ryerson doesn't ask for films which may be a good thing, they want like a few written goods and some stills/art pieces.
