Hi all,
I am working on finishing the last few portfolios of my film production MFA application. And I just get started writing my personal statement. I am a little worried that no related creative background on my resume will be a big minus of the application. I'm a full-time software engineer with a BS in physics and MS in Computer Science. I use my spare time writing stories and shooting films. I do know my passion lies in film and I am gonna steer my career in this direction. For my portfolio, I do love them and I think they show my personal style and the ability to write and direct films. I just don't know how to convince those schools that I am capable of doing this. I'm also concerned if I even have a chance of getting in because of my background.
Wish somebody can give me some advice.
