He is currently enrolled in college but wants to get right to his career. The schools we have found all have outrageous tuition. Location is not important.

The best film/tv schools in the US are UCLA, NYU, and USC. I also really like the program at North Carolina School of the Arts, RISD, Northwestern, Syracuse, UC Berkeley, UNC Chapel Hill, U Michigan Ann Arbor, U Texas Austin, and Florida State U. Those schools have very, very well respected film programs, and would be an excellent choice for a student who wanted to make a career in film. He’d be rubbing shoulders with greatness – learning from the best, networking with professors and students, etc. Very good choices.
Notice I didn’t list any of those for-profit “film schools” on there?
