The film industry works like any other corporate organization and people educated with the required skills are always preferred over the novices. A professional course would be required to equip you with the skills needed for entry in the film industry and with the level of competition increasing; you need to have an edge over the rest. I would advice you to opt for 1yr or a 2 yr degree course with specialization in Direction.  Some of the colleges which you can check out are: Asian School of Media Studies, NOIDA, FTII in Pune., Asian School of Communication, Noida
