Is it worth it-going to film school in South Africa?
I'd really love to become a film maker someday and I'm from Africa.The film industry doesn't pay much here infact it hardly exists-at least not a seriouse one(except maybe me SA and I'm Tanzania)!I wanted to go to film school in SA.People tell me its stupid and I won't make any money and I'm wasting my time.Is true, if you have gone to film school in SA please tell me about the experience, any regrets?Are there any jobs for people who have gone to film school in Africa or is it a waste of time and I should give up my long time dream?

The only real income is in adverting, with documentaries a distant second. Otherwise I would agree with what you have been told. SA movies are far and few between. Something else to consider is that a large percentage of companies filming in SA tend to be international concerns who bring their own staff and only source out locally the odds and ends.
