The Los Angeles film school should be called the Los Angeles video school since film is not being manufactured anymore. But it's a great hands on learning experience. Don't believe those negative reviews. They never been here.

I m currently an online student in film, I was going thru the reviews here on google and I seem to not have any of these problems, I would call they will tell me they are out at the moment I would get a call back later on in the day or very first then the following day other then that no issues I have withdrawn myself with no issues and came back with no issues, I had some mixes up with who s handling my files but at the end it s always been fixed never a bad time with any of the workers, the way I look at it is like this, they all at La Film have a job to do they can t just drop everything at a moments notice to help us ,I leave my message and I get a email or a call back ALWAYS. so some of the reviews that are in here I think they are just people who are upset because they weren t there first priority, Well to bad be an adult and get in line because nothing is going to be handed to you.

I did their Accelerated Film Program. U only get as much as u put into it! Give it your all and u'll be enjoying the benefits of learning about all aspects of production! Be patient with some teachers, be nice to the people in the equipment room, and ask questions to keep learning. Highly recommended due to the excellent experience u can have here.

100% scam. Most of my teachers had less then 5 years of experience in the industry and didn't work on anything great... So it felt like I was being taught my a bunch of students who aren't an exert in the field they are "teaching" The facility and administration are a bunch of liars, the school is ran by a company that only cares about making money and not actually provided their students with a top quality education. The theater sucks, the sound stages such, the equipment and computers suck, most of the teachers are less then great... This company has great advertising and marketing to get people to go to their school, but once you get there you realize you got scammed.

I went here from 2010-2012 and when I graduated I received my Associates of Science in Recording Arts. The classes were pretty long usually 4 hours with some days you would have to take 2 classes which amounted to an 8 hour day! I was very fortunate enough to learn SO much from the many instructors!!

People that give 1 star probably just got dropped out or did not get employed right away when graduated. This school is amazing. There are some problems with administration when it comes to paper work but it is all understandable. The quality of education depends on what you take out from it. If you really want to learn how to be a filmmaker or how to be a part of a film set then you will be satisfied. If you just want to sit on lectures for 3 Year s and then get a job at Universal or Warner brothers then this school won t help you.

I went for an audition for a student film today and I'm glad to see they're encouraging students to work with actors and spend some time. 15 minutes. I'm so tired of audition mills where you go read to a camera in a room and the indifferent camera-girl cuts the recording short because she doesn't care. At LA Film School you can sit in the lobby after signing in and the security guy is friendly. Parking on the side street is $.25/10 minutes. Its okay when you're only staying 30 minutes.

I'm a recording student and a Marine Corps vet. Not sure why some people are writing horrible reviews. If you had a bad experience its probably because you didn't take care of your own paperwork or ask the right questions. Its ultimately your responsibility to make sure all your documents have been submitted. I agree that the admin side of things at this school can be a bit bad at times since it seems like none of the departments communicate with each other.

**Edit: Once you are a student for a while, you will get the run around for weeks when asking about BAH and how the school sends enrollment so you have no money during the holidays even though the suggest you not have a job.

As far as education goes, I find the courses to be pretty easy as long as you follow simple instructions, show up to class and pay attention. I've learned a lot and the teachers here are great. I haven't had any problems finding a teacher to answer my questions.

My biggest complaint about the school is the parking situation. ITS HORRIBLE. I get that is LA, but they could offer a student pass. And its especially annoying that they let anyone (not students) park in the lots. So if you have an afternoon class you will most likely have to find parking elsewhere. Its really irritating that there is not ample parking for students and they chart $6/ day no matter what. This should be fixed.

**Edit: Security treats students like criminals and the school prioritizes the all access tours over students, who pay a lot of money to go to the school, to work in spaces on projects for their classwork. I almost wasn't allowed on a stage in the film building that was booked and had an instructor with it. The security guard literally put her hand in front of the ID scanner blocking me from scanning my ID...like a child.

In the recording building, if you take a nap on a couch or fall asleep, security will find you and make you actually sit up. Again, students that PAY A LOT OF MONEY to go to the school aren't allowed to take a nap in-between class or on breaks. Its not like anyone is camping out overnight.

Brother you ain't lying, I was supposed to start in March and they kept pushing my start date back every month until June! And for some reason there is always an excuse for why they have to push me back another month. I don't know if this school is real anymore,or they just don't want black people in there, either way there showing me I don't belon

I personally know 2 people that are attending and one that's graduated the LA Film School. They were woking in the industry all through school and now cannot keep up with all the work being thrown at them.

Like any place of higher education the top of the class gets romanced by the people in the real business to be either Interns or step right into their fields with established production companies (or dare I say it...maybe they even will start their own).

It's a field that is more than just technical skills. The school takes people with raw talent, creativity and imagination and exposes them to Instructors winning Academy awards for the work they're doing today. Where else are going to get that level of real world success in a "traditional" school? So if you have the right stuff, it's the best place in the world place to learn from the best in the business.

So, people just looking score a job because they have a degree aren't going to probably work out much better than than they would at any other school. Check the statistics and you'll see 60-70% of all higher education Freshman never degree out.

Also there are students from all over the world that attend the the LA Film School for one very good reason. It's Hollywood baby!!
