I am a student entering high school next year and I need some advice. I want to pursue a career in film or media in Japan, I know that it is not going to be an easy route but I am willing to go through. I am living in Korea and I currently have two choice.
1-Go to a Japanese IB boarding school that offers an Japanese high school graduation certificate as well upon graduation. However since it is an boarding school there is limited aspects in creative producing and when I mean limited like it is real limited.
2-Go to a Canadian international school offering OOSD as the graduate diploma. It's not going to be the best school out there but it give much more room for creative work and to be honest, way more time for creative production. But relatively hard to break into Japanese universities.
I speak English on a native level and my Japanese is around a level where I can speak with a native without so many disruptions (writing and others are N4 but I took the test a long time ago and I have been studying for N2 for 6 months now).
I am looking to attend a film school in Japan or an english speaking country.
The industry is not only about degrees and I do have chance to break into the industry after university but I am drawn to Japanese art universities.
That why I have really been stuck on this choice. What do you think is the better option?
