Fall 2025 - I took this class not needing to take any GE's, and I will say this is the worst class I have ever taken. If you get John Lowe as a TA RUN... He gives out half of the points on assignments and gives super unclear feedback. In the discussions, he told our class he hates talking, which is literally his job lol. I got an A barely, and film isn't even my major. The professor is also not engaging whatsoever. I really encourage anyone out there to look for a different class. I love watching movies and analyzing them, but this was a horrible experience. I never got full points on any assignment and received 0 feedback. It really depends on your TA for this class, but like I said if you get JOHN LOWE, run for the hills.

Spring 2019 - Good class if you're interested in learning about current trends in the industry. The assignments are: take home midterm, script coverage, final paper, in class final exam. There is no homework but there are weekly readings. Professor Mann likes to advise students on their careers whether it be producing, directing, or writing, which is an added bonus. I am selling the Course Reader for $5. It is $10 at the UCLA store. Text me at **********
