Friendly reminder Mike went to film school. I don't think additional explanation is required.

Same school as Latza. Too bad that trip to Milwaukee didn't work out

Even if you want to make gay movies, going to film school seems like a huge waste of time and money. You can learn a lot of what you need to know on the internet anyways, it's not like you're going to start out making some giant MCU bullshit. Use the money that you would have spent on film school for equipment instead.

All that money could have been spent filming Jay's birthday parties on the sex swing.

Isn't a big reason for going to Film School is making connections? Then again just look how it turned out for Lindsay Ellis, Mike Stoklassa, and Ralph Sepe. They all ended up being Youtube film critics instead of being in the film industry.

The RLM guys are kinda old and there weren't really the resources to learn independently about film that there are now when those guys would have went to college.

Besides, the primary reason for going to film school is to make connections with people who are looking to get into the film industry

I mean, say what you want about Lindsay, she clearly HAS connections. Enough to get her on PBS and enough to get her a book deal with a legitimate publisher. Of course what she doesn't have is any talent, unless you count sucking dicks as a talent.

Oh yeah, for sure, back then it would have been more necessary for that. These days less so. I eventually want to make a gay movie one day, but I need money for decent equipment. It's going to be called Black and Boo: A Gay Interracial Love Story.

Lindsay fucked all that up. She's probably going to get kicked out of the PBS Youtube channel to be replaced by her cohost. Her first book got on the New York Times Bestsellers List for a week, but the second book has barely a third of the sales of the first book. Lindsay has a stagnate Youtube channel with her patreon going steadily downward because she barely puts any videos. She didn't even release any videos for November or December, when ad revenue is at its highest. At the end of the day, connections can get you far, but having talent along with connections gets you even farther.

Imagine visiting film school for at least 3 years only to produce Space Cop. Plinkett voice How embarrassing!

Lindsay's connections are from being a goon, a skank and them thinking she'd be the next Sarkesian money cow.
Just like her, she's washed up now and will be entirely dropped very soon.
