Hey there, IRC friends.

I just graduated college and, frankly, I hate it. I didn't like my school. I wasn't particularly passionate about my major. I always resented not following my initial dreams of studying film. And I feel empty about the entire experience.

Now, with the economy being the way it is, and my dissatisfaction with career-paths in general, I might as well go back to school.

I think I'm finally ready to make that jump, be irrational, and pursue something I know will lead me nowhere. I think I'm already there, so why not spend a hundred grand or so and dig a bigger hole for myself?

I'm just asking for any and all advice on the subject. If you've already been to film school, what was your experience there? What are some things I should know before applying? Are there particular scholarships or grants available to an inexperienced NY girl, like myself? If you haven't been, but can refer me to somebody who has, do tell. Seriously.

I plan on doing more formal research, of course, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right? You guys are cool. And my guess is a bunch of you actually know a thing or two about this.

Best,

AR
