Film Direction is one of those arts which is less dependant on your degree and more on your passion. I personally know many film makers who have not undergone any formal training in film direction but have directed many award-winning short-films. However, if one is equipped with basics which they teach in a film/Media institute, it certainly helps one to grow faster and better.
