I am studying illustration/graphic design and Iv realised that I have a real passion for narrative and story telling in a creative way... do I have to study film/media?|||Hi! Nearly all film directors are film school graduates. Film school students must complete their own short films by graduation; you should be prepared to work under difficult conditions, share space, and convince actors to work for little or no money.
Aspiring film directors prove themselves by directing stage productions, doing film lighting design, or establishing a history of assistant or associate directorships. This last route is the most common, as professional experience and networking contacts can be combined in a brief but intense period of time. There is no specific ladder to climb.
Many aspiring directors develop clips of their work as a display of their talent when applying for industrial, television, or commercial directing jobs, which pay well and serve as working credentials. Individuals entering this career should be warned that 20-hour days are not unusual.

Another career you may want to consider to "break into" the film industry is that of a Storyboard Artist, which would utilize the design skills you are already learning:
