I am currently a student at the University of Alabama and I am in the Telecomunication/Film school... It's really video oriented; however Prof. Aaron Greer a filmaker himself can help you if you want to get into film. Also there are plenty of oportunities and classes that are similar to film making. The only difference is that we use video. The differences between video and film aren't as important when you are begining. You may find that their are more things in comon than their are different... I would try the UA and talk to different people about projects. The Production House offers a lot of experience as well. It's basic camera work, but the techniques are similar to film. We also have a full powered television station with plenty of oportunities. Film schools are really expensive and if you don't have the money, this is your best bet. It's really what you make of it. I would get in touch with professor Aaron Greer and ask him basic questions about film. You can find his email address on the UA website...
