    Chapman MFA Film Production - Fall 2016

    Hey Farzad, congrats on the acceptance! I unfortunately don't know any editing graduates myself, but I know there are a couple Chapman editing alumni in these forums, so hopefully they can step up and give you their thoughts.

    Financial Generosity of Schools

    For international students, our best bet is to apply to scholarship programs in our respective countries. Depending on where you live, Fulbright could be an option. I know they offer 3-full scholarships (tuition, airfare, living expenses, monthly stipend, health insurance) to Brazilian students...

    Chapman MFA Film Production - Fall 2016

    That´s awesome. Leviathan is amazing, but I haven´t seen anything else by Zvyagintsev (though I have Elena lined up in my queue). A few of those I´ve never even watched anything by, like Chytilov. It´s good to know I´ll get to study will be people with different influences who know more than I...

    Chapman MFA Film Production - Fall 2016

    Yeah, living in Orange is an... acquired taste haha It really is my biggest gripe with the program. Driving up to LA is a regular occurrence, be it for events, internships, sets, movie screenings. You just deal with it. I think Orange has become more youth-oriented in recent years. It is nowhere...

    Chapman MFA Film Production - Fall 2016

    Wish I could help you on what kind of cameras are offered for 1st semester exercises at Chapman, but during my 1st semester there I just used my own camcorder I had at the time so I don't know what other students were using. I do find it hard to believe USC equipment is outdated as a whole...

    Help me decide! NYU or USC for sitcom writer (Columbia pending)

    I would say no film school is worth the debt if you can avoid it. I'd go with NYU all the way, unless the cost of living in NYC would outweigh the USD$ 35,000 you'd have to shell out for USC. Also, as an international student in the US, it's worth pointing out you'll have 12 months after...

    Chapman MFA Film Production - Fall 2016

    Thank you! Glad you got to watch Chiaroscuro. So, there are a couple reasons I'm going to Chapman for Directing. Firstly, I always felt supported by the administration and faculty in the projects I wanted to make. We didn't always see eye to eye, but I never felt held back or that they were...

    Chapman MFA Film Production - Fall 2016

    Hi all! Thought I'd create this thread for those attending or thinking of attending Chapman's Film Production program in Fall 2016. I actually graduated from Chapman's Digital Arts undergraduate program a few years ago (albeit I was originally in Screenwriting), and am returning there for my...

    2016 Interviews- Acceptances- Rejections

    Hi guys. Got officially admitted to Chapman's Directing MFA. Don't expect anyone else to be notified this soon though. I was actually admitted last year but had to defer my enrollment to this one. Anyway, look forward to meet all my future classmates and colleagues at Chapman and other...
