Today, I came across an interesting article in POV magazine. The article deeply explores the best film schools in Canada and how each school’s film program offers something unique for their students. Since I’m a Canadian film-maker who didn’t attend film school…I was quite curious to see what choices were available for those looking to get a degree in film studies.
