I want to let the makers of this film know that this has been reposted and shared with so many

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@mmaliska Thank you! Our grads will appreciate knowing that so many have enjoyed this film!

Is it true that a job within your field of interest is found for you within a few months of your graduation?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

No, and we'd be extremely wary of any school that promises 100% placement rate, especially in industries like film. Does being an indie producer count? What about freelancing or contract positions? Our goal is to give our students every advantage possible - a professional network, a high-quality film/reel/portfolio, and knowledge. But, as with any school, the difference is what the graduate does armed with all of that. No industry deals in absolutes or hires based only on educational background.

Amazingly well written and executed. Shot in such a professional manner I forgot I was viewing a student film.

The only thing stopping me from applying at VFS is the price unfortunately.

Although Emily Carr, SFU, York and Concordia have very prestigious film programs for a reasonable tuition.

Although I do have one question; Where was this film shot?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

Oh, and not to get into a lengthy side-by-side - but bear in mind that the tuition for the one-year program at VFS should be compared across the full length of other programs (often 3-4 years, though not always), and that includes living expenses for those years. Our curriculum is very carefully designed and balanced so that students basically get the same amount of education in 12 intense months. [/soapbox]

I completely forgot that this was student made. Where was it shot??

[meister8210]

I don't get this at all. What was the point of any of it? Everything seemed so random.
