I want to learn the basics of film making and I am staying near Chicago… Is there a college nearby that has these kind of courses, like :
Screenplay writing
Direction
Editing, etc.
Great Answers… Thanks for that… BTW, how does it work once you completed your course? Do you have to send your profile to the Directors/ movie makers or will they contact you from the college?
Any success stories to share with?

I recently got a gaf anscomatic s/86 and would like to create a film. I would like to know anything you guys have to say about super 8 film making. About projectors? Black and white/color Film? Processing? I also need a manual for my camera and have looked online but only found manuals on sale for $18. Anybody know where to get a free manual for it?
