Reviewing your film school options

For those of you who are thinking about getting into filmmaking or movie making, there are a basically three options available.
If you're thinking of going the film school route, there are many fancy tech schools that offer Bachelors and even Masters degrees in film. None of which you actually need to be a filmmaker or work in the film industry. These tech school often charge $20,000 a semester, footing the graduate with a hefty $60k - $100k student loan payment when it's all said and done.
After that, there are smaller technical schools, usually taught at the community college level. These school offer a large amount of information, sometimes just as much as a large technical school, with a smaller financial commitment. They do not carry the swagger of big name high price schools, but the education you receive is equivalent. Not to mention they don't carry with them the crippling financial burden of enormous student loans.
Finally, there is the good-ole do-it-yourself education. It Internet provides an array of information, most of which is free, on all aspects and topics pertaining to making a movie. Basically everything that is taught at a high price technical school is available on the internet. You just don't get all the fancy cameras, lighting, and grip equipment to play with. The downfall with the Internet is the credibility factor. Anyone can create a website and post information. How do you know what works and what's hogwash?
This is why I created the Online Film School Boot Camp. A place for young aspiring filmmakers to learn the fundamentals of filmmaking such as Screenwriting, Directing, Pre-Production, Cinematography, Lighting/Grip, and Post-Production. All the curriculum was created by me and taken mainly from my many years of filmmaking experiences. As far as the credibility factor, I have plenty of movies available to watch on youtube that speak directly to my skill set. Everything I teach comes directly from my own filmmaking skills and real life experiences.
The Online Film School Boot Camp is a good stepping stone to begin a journey in filmmaking with immediate gratification and no strapping financial burden.

Hidden Movie Agendas for filmmaking and filmmakers

Every filmmaker has their own unique perspective on life... You wouldn't be a filmmaker if you didn't. In some way or another  that perspective aligns with some greater meaning/agenda/political viewpoint. Good filmmakers find a way to sneak their own views into their movies as some underline meaning, most of which is unseen by the average viewer.
Which raised the question, "What's in your movie?"
