Hollywood Curriculum

teen workshops at new york film academy?

planning on taking the one-week teen workshop at nyfa in hollywood…acting for film….has anyone done this before? i went to their open house and it sounded pretty good, but ive been reading on here that nyfa isnt really the best choice. please note that i am a complete beginner…how are they with that? the workshop curriculum says that they are compatible with beginners but i am still a bit intimidated. do you think itll be a good investment? after all, it IS 1000$…

Nothing should stop you from following your dreams.
Haveing said that I have no idea about NYFA. All I know is if I had $1000 I would buy these books.

buy my own video camera. And start making my own movies! That’s just me.
Now if I had $1000 bucks to blow and money wasn’t an object . . . I think I would be up for the program.

NEVER GIVE UP! ! !
Good luck! Let me know what you decide!

Oh another good book on networking.
