As I mentioned in my previous post, I've been looking at film schools in Europe. I already completed a master's degree in direction in Spain, so I learnt a lot about what to do when it comes to choosing a film school, especially if it's abroad.  For me, the main takeaway from that experience is that doing things fast and taking rapid decisions sometimes is the only way to do a 180° change, but also it's very likely that you'll make mistakes, as I did. One of those those mistakes was not doing enough research on the school I chose to go to. I read a couple of reviews online and took that as good, factual information. This was a massive mistake, because I ended up doing a master's in a school that did not provide an education equivalent to the price. This is even more important because I paid for my education, I didn't get a scholarship.  This is another important point, as a Latin American, there are not many scholarships for art programmes that you can apply

Hello! My name is Arturo, I'm a 33 year old guy from Guatemala. I'm living in Lisbon with my girlfriend and trying to settle in this new country. I recently completed a masters degree in direction for film in Spain, and now I'm working my way into the industry. I'm currently looking to enrol in a new film school, maybe here, maybe somewhere in Europe, we'll see where life takes me.  I'm thinking it'd be interesting to log the research regarding film schools in Europe in this blog, and some other things related to the film industry and film festivals.
