Film School is an indie rock band with a penchant for crafting moody, textured soundscapes that resonate with fans of shoegaze and post-punk revival. Formed in San Francisco in the late 1990s by frontman Greg Bertens, the band has undergone several lineup changes throughout its tenure, with Bertens being the consistent force behind its creative direction. Film School's sound is characterized by its dense layers of guitar, atmospheric synths, and introspective lyrics, often drawing comparisons to influential acts from the 80s and 90s.

Over the years, Film School has released several albums and EPs that have cemented their place in the indie music scene. Their work, including critically acclaimed releases like their self-titled album "Film School" (2006), and "Hideout" (2007), showcases their evolution from lo-fi beginnings to a more polished, lush production. The band's more recent releases like "Bright to Death" (2018) and "We Weren't Here" (2021) reflect a matured sound that remains faithful to their shoegaze roots while venturing into new, experimental territory. Through their compelling live performances and consistently strong discography, Film School continues to captivate a devoted fan base eager for their next immersive auditory journey.
