How important is a college degree in the film industry?

hey,

my friend is interested in making films. she’s currently enrolled in a 4-year art school in vancouver (emily carr), where she will receive a bachelor’s degree in media studies. however, she really loves living in seattle and is considering coming to seattle and attending seattle central community college to get an associates degree in film & video communications.

i know that in general a bachelor’s degree is more appealing to employers than an associates, but is there any reason to believe that this concept holds true in the film industry?
