What university film school offers the best experience?

Ok so this is the thing.


I'm pretty sure that the best way to find a job after film school is to have contacts right?


What university film programme allows you to get those contacts? (in the USA and the UK).


For example, I know that the london film and television school has contacts with the BBC so it's really benefical.


I also know that summer internships during your studies gets you contacts.


Thanks in advance!|||You're right that it's not always what you know but who you know that will land you a job. That doesn't mean that your only way of making contacts is to go to an elite film school, though. My cousin spent an absolute fortune on NYU, one of the best film schools in the world, and has still had a challenging time finding a job in this recession. I would go to the best school you can get into and afford, do your best, and get an internship with a great company. My stepmom got her foot in the door by landing an internship with a very successful producer, and that led to a fabulous career in the entertainment industry despite having not even majored in film. Check out the classifieds in Daily Variety and Hollywood Reporter for internship opportunities.





In the US the best film schools are USC, UCLA, NYU, Columbia, and FSU. By the way, if you were interested in FSU, they have a small branch in London where you can go for two years and then transfer to Florida to get your degree.





The London Film %26amp; Television is awesome as well, and someone just told me about an excellent screenwriting and producing programme at Royal Holloway.





Best of luck!
