What's the best film school in the U.S.?

Answer:
The USC School of Cinematic Arts is the oldest

film school in the country and is, in every measurable way, the best film school in the world.

Offering a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs and boasting an impress alumni list, USC film school was founded in 1929 and remains one of the most competitive film schools, accepting only 50 undergraduate students for the film production track each year.

In order to gain acceptance at the school, you'll need to submit a portfolio of your best work, including writing samples, a resume and autobiography. You might expect to submit film reels or samples, but the school doesn't require that because the institution doesn't want to eliminate talented students who may not yet have had the means to produce a film.

The proof of USC film school's excellence is in its list of impressive alumni, which includes:
- Judd Apatow
- John Carpenter
- Ron Howard
- Richard Kelly
- Jon Landau
- George Lucas
- Bryan Singer
- John Singleton
- Robert Zemeckis
