The program you mention has a reputation of being very expensive for what it offers.
Having read your question, the best advice I can give you is to consider another career field. Your competition in this very competitive field is probably far ahead of you in experience.
Best wishes.

NYFA is not worth anything in general. If you want to get into film, there are easier and cheaper ways, especially if you have theatre experience. Try just working on student films or professional films as a PA… If you want something more structures look into public colleges in NY.
NYFA doesn’t have the reputation that equals the price tag… and in only 4 weeks, you won’t learn all that much that you couldn’t learn from reading books and working on your own.
