Back To School: The Best Films (And Film Making Courses) For Freshman


Larry “Pinto” Kroger and Kent “Flounder” Dorfman, know what you’re going through. They’re the two guys whose lives were changed forever after living in an Animal House their freshman year. But summer’s over and it’s time to get back to school. We just wish it was like when Rodney Dangerfield went Back To School in the 80s.


“Read? Who has time? I see the movie. I’m in and out in two hours.” Rodney Dangerfield as college freshman Thorton Melon.

Animal House and Back To School are our picks for two movie classics that can give you a glance at life as a freshman. Still, there’s nothing like that “freshman feeling” of heading back to school… Making new friends, showing off new threads, remembering where math class is… Sure, going back to school can be a bit stressful and no one knows this more than future freshman.

This past summer teenagers in Digital Media Academy’s Film Making Summer Camp made this hilarious movie trailer for the film FRESHMAN FRIDAY. It’s a mock-u-mentary about what you might face if you’re heading back to school as a….FRESHMAN.

The chance to write in his new 3 ring binder for the first time was just right around the corner.

All joking aside, film making is a serious business, and if you’re serious about a career in it, Digital Media Academy offers several courses in Digital Film Making – like learning Final Cut Pro or Documentary Filmmaking, DMA’s 2010 Fall/Winter Schedule.

Plus Digital Media Academy offers incredible deals to DMA Alumni and great rates for return enrollment in 2011! Don’t wait, sign up now and take advantage of the DMA Alumni special.

What do you think of our picks for best freshman movies? What DMA courses are you signed up for for Fall/Winter 2010?
