For 24 years, I was inviting students from various film schools through the Erasmus+ program to join a semester-long traineeship on set for my large-scale movies. Again and again, I was shocked that they didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. They would arrive on set wearing white sneakers and light leather jackets on days when we were shooting in cold, wet, and muddy conditions. Even though they studied film, they were completely naive about what real filmmaking is like. This is why I decided to expand my film school, where I could train students for a real career in the film industry.
