How to plan to study film

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
