In this episode, our host Koura Linda speaks with a panel of film professionals at various stages of their filmmaking  careers: SCAD 2022 Valedictorian and full-time filmmaker Sarah M. Penn, UCF Screenwriting Bachelor's Program student and Film Production Intern, Joselyn Martinez, full-time VFX artist for major Hollywood motion pictures Alex Heffner, and 2022 Austin Film Festival Winner, Writer Nick Gambino about the pros and cons and pros and cons of film school. All of these filmmakers are on different paths when it comes to formal education's involvement in their careers, and because no two paths are the same, this panel discusses the many, many options available for those looking for a career in film. While the full conversation will be shared exclusively on our Patreon, and portions of the panel will be shared here, during the audience Q&A there were some questions about how to manage what it takes to make it in the film industry, especially when living with various disabilities, but the insights shared can be valuable for anyone.
