Film School or No Film School?

We went to film school. Patrick went to San Francisco State, and Stephen went to NYU. Find out why we went and whether the debt was worth it.

National Film Society
The National Film Society is a new media studio co-founded by filmmakers Patrick Epino and Stephen Dypiangco, who've decided to take their talents to YouTube. They produce original content, showcase amazing works, interview talented creators and make fun of each other as much as possible.

[NationalFilmSociety]

@stoplightslaw We met at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival back in 2010. Patrick's from the Bay Area and Stephen's from LA.

I graduated from SFSU in '06 with a BA in Cinema. Pretty good and interesting experience as an undergrad. Had to fight to get into classes every step of the way.

@JC12209 What are you up to now?

[motivatedmayhem]

NO filmschool ! check out my trailer..

[NationalFilmSociety]

@motivatedmayhem Sweet trailer. Love the mullet.

[JC12209]

@NationalFilmSociety I'm doing freelance work and am also doing films and videos on YouTube. Found out the film festival route was way too pricey.

you guys are crazy and I like both ...Congrats for the Sundance!

[AJedProduction]

Hahaha I love your videos man. I don't go to "film school" but I go to university to study a BA in Film Production, I don't know if that's the same thing as Film school though. Check my stuff out when you get the chance, I'm only a 1st year though and still starting out

Did Patrick really get an MFA from a state University for only $4000?!?!?
