Leaving Amsterdam for New York

[Reno]

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am leaving my hometown Amsterdam to go to New York for six months! I´ll study some Film and Digital and work and live there. I live 1 hour away from Manhatten in this place called Syville (or Sayville?) so that will be one bitch (not allowed to use that word?) of a commute.

Anyway please wish me luck and ofcourse I won't stop visiting the forums and learning some Japanese while I'm at it

[richvh]

Sayville, I think, on Long Island. Good luck! I'm about 2 hours more or less on the other side of Manhattan, reachable by car, bus or train.

Sounds great! I'm sure you'll have a fun time and learn a lot.

Which school?

[Reno]

Film Academy! Its a sort of pre-study though. 2 months of intensive training in film making and if I pass I can use that sheet of paper (AKA diploma) to get accepted easier at the Film Academy here in Amsterdam.

Sounds like an exciting adventure! I hope you will enjoy your stay.

Is it the NYFA? I was planning on doing their program in London, then I thought maybe I should do it in LA, then I got sidetracked living in Japan and decided not to go

[Reno]

Talk about sidetracking .

Yeah it is the NYFA and they have all these establishments around the world! This is the thing I was born to do (making films) so this will really help me a lot with getting there.

I might also get a job at True Entertainment while I am there because I can tell you one fact about this trip:

It ain't cheap

[keatonatron]

Well, my current plan is to go to a film school in Tokyo starting next April. So I wasn't THAT sidetracked... I just pushed everything back by 3 years.

Good luck, it looked like a fun school from what I could tell.

[Reno]

Well everyone, This is my last day here in The Netherlands so I will still be on the forum when I am in New York! Buh-Bye!

Old Amsterdam to New Amsterdam, eh? I'm sure you'll have fun!
