CS graduate pursuing Film. Need help with decisions.

I just graduated with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and I’ve already obtained a well paying job in Cybersecurity.

Most of my life I always loved Film and storytelling but was always told not to pursue it by my parents because of job insecurity.

Now that I have the job and degree, I feel empty. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy, and my 1 year old son is healthy but I want to fulfill that Film and Storytelling hole in my heart. I also would feel more proud of myself with a Film degree hanging on the wall of my home, as that is something I would do out of pure love. Is there a way where I can use my credits from my bachelor’s degree to speed up the process of say a B.A. in Screenwriting/Filmmaking, since I’ve completed most prerequisites?

Also, I live in a different state than my college that I graduated from. Would it be smart to stay with that college or go to a better school for film in my current state? (For reference, I’m went from MS to Atlanta, GA)
