I'm interested in going through a formal program to learn the more
technical side of the film-making craft. I've created multiple DVDs
(amateurish travelogues, etc.) and have self-taught my way through use
of camera and editing software. I'd like to now take it to the next
level with the goal of learning enough to create high quality videos
that I can place online and also potentially distribute, etc. So, my
big question is how do I best do that?

I've been looking into a few programs and was wondering if anyone out
there has any intelligence they could share with me? The program I'm
leaning towards is:

The San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking
http://www.sfdigifilm.com
But then there's SF State http://www.cinema.sfsu.edu/
And the Bay Area Video Coalition http://www.bavc.org

Do you have any thoughts on those S.F. Bay Area programs or others that
you can recommend?

Thanks for taking the time.

The people at SFSU are just wannabes with massive egos,
in fact that's true of all departments at that school.

You want a real film school? Just go to UCLA. The people
who teach there are not the superficial idiots you find
at most places. They're regular people who have actual
ability.
