Sometimes parents still have a negative view of the world of art and often object if their children choose to go into the arts, especially film. Their worries are generally based on stereotypes in the field that think this field is not enough to make children financially secure and is considered not a durable profession due to changing trends.

As a result, such an assumption will weaken the interest and creativity of children interested in pursuing the world of film and considering whether or not to go to film school.

Come on, change that way of thinking and start emphasizing that the film industry has the potential to be developed, just like any other field. Here are some considerations for getting into film school.

Indonesian Film is Slowly Rising

Since the government established the Creative Economy Agency (Barekraf) and supported the development of the country’s film sector, production house owners have also been competing to promote quality film productivity in terms of storytelling and cinematography will also boost commercial profits.

Of course, this will further increase public interest in watching quality films. As a result, the demand for film productivity is rising. It can be seen directly from the high public interest in several local films produced in Indonesia, which are shown in cinemas.

Limited Film Human Resources, Wide Open Opportunities

As the passion for cinema increases, film productivity will also soar. It was coupled with the increasing number of foreign investors who support various aspects, ranging from production and exhibitions to film distribution.

It has a direct impact on the demand for quality film human resources. Unfortunately, the number of film schools in Indonesia is smaller than in other fields. Most of the workforce in this field did not have a formal education in film school and only introduced experiences in the area far from excellent quality.

To Develop the Spirit of Art and creativity

Young people have unlimited energy. Art is an alternative to release this positive energy. As a parent, you should be open to your creativity, even direct your interests and talents to produce something positive.

Bringing the Mission to Make Indonesian Films Better Known in the World

Through prestigious international film festivals, Indonesia has received several nominations, and not infrequently, it has received prestigious awards. Indirectly, this has contributed to the name of Indonesia in the eyes of the world’s film industry.

The more qualified and experienced individuals in cinema, the more quality films can be produced. In the end, our film industry is also getting uplifted in the eyes of the world.

Improve the Image of the Indonesian Television, which still needs more quality spectacles
