Hello, Denmi !

I would like to support you in your interest and hopefully give you some advice that may be useful to your specific situation. Film school is expensive and a lot of people go to study it in Los Angeles or New York, but since financial concerns are at the forefront of your concern. let's see what I can suggest. The absolute best film schools are expensive so let's see about doing this on line since you're trying not to have an expense.

There are some on line film programs that you can enroll in. I would definitely advise reading more about them in order to see which one is the least expensive. Although you will not get equivalent quality of education from on line as you would in person on site, here are some on line Film Schools to read more about : Academy of Art University, Arizona State University On Line, Full Sail University, The Los Angeles Film School, National University, New York Film Academy. These school cost a lot, though.

The truth is that there is no way to peruse a career in film inexpensively. You can probably do it independently through reading and finding free instructional videos. On line and in person school will appear to be expensive to you, especially once you have to start spending money on equipment and projects assigned.

Another option would be to seek out two year colleges in your area to see if they have a Communications or Mass Media or even a Film Department with courses offered. That would cut down on some expense, but it will still cost you and maybe you could receive financial aid to help out.

All of the great programs are either in L.A. or in N.Y and I imagine there are some good ones all around the country, but it does involve the expense. Your best bet may just be to enroll in a two year college for now, major in Communications, Film or Media Studies and decide what you can do after that. But I highly recommend doing this course of study in person on site. Try not to be too concerned about "greatness" because all of the instruction you would receive will be from experienced teachers. It should all be good.

Best wishes to you in your studies and your future career in film !
