I can speak from expierence, I am a recent graduate of Brooks, I cant complain, the more I find myself working the more I relize what I learned at Brooks. There are Pros/cons to any film school. Brooks Is great because you get hands on equipment right away however from a fundamental consertive film making aspect the school is not up to par. If you have the money to do it, it is worth it, the school is only going to get bigger, weather thats good or bad, I dont know? Its already over crowded
Yes the job placement at Brooks is not good, but you cant reley on a school to get you job, you got to go out there, start making connections, an find your own work.
All in all, I would recomened it, theres great faculty, people and good equipment.
let me know if you have more questions.
