OK Biilly, I get it now.
No need to be wary of that... the films you make in film school are not really somethiing you're going to be selling. YOU DO retain the rights to screenplays you write, or the rights revert to you upon graduatiion, i don't remember whiich it is. What your student film is is a sample, a way to make contacts, get jobs, build your reel. I think they feel, that as the film is a GROUP effort pairing student director, producer, dp, editor, etc--keeping the rights at USC avoids in-fighting amongst the crew on who's project it is. EACH of the students involved would put it on their reel. USC also has its own yeearly film festival to showcasse itis student's work for agents and studiio executives.
USC has the reputatiion it has for a reason. Its graduates do make insane contacts just by being in the program, there is no need to be wary their policies... I'd be more wary of the acceptance rate--something like 25 out of 2000, or something ridiculous liike that. I knew someone who applied SEVEN times to the producing program before he got in.
