    hey all, apologies if this is in the wrong section but I'm in the final year of a media studies course and was wondering do ye think a MA in Film and Tv Production is really necessary? or would it prove more beneficial to use the time trying to get experience?

    An MA is not necessary to work in the field at all. Experience is better I'd say.

    However an MA could be handy if you wanted to teach as well.

    I have friends who have released DVD with respected labels and they were self taught from books / learnt from shadowing etc. I do a little dabbling myself from books too. I've made two short films to date.

    Exactly, name one good Irish movie from a director with an MA in film production? Waste of time.
