FAQ
No. You need the craft that film school often teaches, but AI lowers the access barrier so motivated creators can learn through structured practice and public projects.
You do not need formal film school enrollment to start making AI films. What you do need is access to the core lessons film education is supposed to provide: shot logic, pacing, scene structure, continuity, and editing judgment.
AI changes the access layer, not the need for craft. If you learn the principles seriously, the absence of a traditional school gate no longer blocks you from building real visual skill.
