Final Cut Course?

As the chair of a Community College department that teaches Final Cut Pro
(amongst a host of other film-style video, television and audio concepts and
technologies) I humbly suggest that you look to your local Community
Colleges as a location for education in FCP. Community Colleges are good for
lots of stuff, including inexpensive courses in (usually) the latest and
greatest software and hardware.

I might also suggest that Final Cut isn't the only thing you need to know
relative to making that film that's inside of you. Some other courses in
pre-production (script-writing, storyboarding, etc) and production would
also be tremendously useful in helping you realize your dream.

Now that I've said that, I'll put in a shameless plug for my program at
College of DuPage in suburban Chicago.
See <www.cod.edu/media> for more info.

Good luck!
