What are the pros and cons of film school?
The pros are that you'll meet a lot of people and learn a lot of stuff related to the industry. You'll make friends, and it's a great experience. However, it's expensive, and most people don't keep in touch well after it's over, so you really have to actively maintain those connections if you want to keep them. There are a lot of filmmakers and actors who became very successful with no film or acting school training.
