if your grades and finances can swing it. it really doesnt get much better than the George Lucas School of Film at USC in Los Angeles

where ull learn to take one idea and how to suck as much money out of reimages, poorly made prequals, action figures and how to rape the child hood dreams of millions. Great school dood. couldnt help it.

most schools offer programs like that in some form or another, look around. i mean if your hell bent on doing that specificly and know thats for sure what you want, go to a specialized school, if your looking for a bit of fun..... shop around. Even look in teh general areas surrounding LA and NYC, its mad easy to commute into the cities for a taste of city life.

Believe me son, U DONT WANT TO COmmute into Los agneles from the outside areas. it make be only 25 mils to Los angeles/hollywood but it can take over an hour and a half. Used to make that commute every day. It was hell.

edit: to the underage drinking thing...now-a-days all schools are party schools. I have never heard of one that is not. However keep one important fact in mind, find out how many people commute to the school your interested in. High commute=dead during the weekends

If u wanna drink, Christains school probably arent the best place. Ull have a higher ratio of getting turned in b y goody goody home schooled kids whos parents kept them seperated from everyone. In this climate of W. bushes & Obamas, unless ur christan, I would go to one of those schools. Had a couple of friends kicked out for drinking at the Irvine christian college(cant remember the name).
