Anyone still not waiting for an interview request email? Can we expect more coming out? Also has the status page on the application portal changed since submission for anyone?

It will show the interview notification once you select the 2025 application.
Also I wouldn't dishearten myself just yet. They are still sending out notifications.
Hang in there!

Just got an email invitation for an interview. From the schedule of available dates to choose from, it looks like they are conducting interviews (Wednesdays only) from Feb. 4- 2nd week in March.

I saw Wednesday and Thursday were open from my portal

 

[danielani]

Okay so is everyone’s interview in march? Cause it seems kind of far out considering decisions come out a week or two later. Like it starting to feel more like a formality than anything. I might be wrong though lol

Monday and Sunday for mine

 

[danielani]

Monday and Sunday for mine

I’m guessing this is for screenwriting and directing?

Hey I scheduled for March but that's because the Feb ones got filled real quick after I received the email...) but they did offer two days in Feb and two in March.

Okay cool. I think for the writing/directing track there’s some spots in feb but not for writing for tv and film. At least that’s what I noticed.

My schedule only had Mondays avail. I took the last Feb slot at least what was provided to me. I guess it depends on the schedule of who read/watched your work?

Yeah, I also think it's based on their schedules cause I was only given two days as options.
