    Chapman TWP MFA Alum Currently Working at Warner Bros. Television…. AMA!

    I’m an office production assistant in main production. I’m a part of a three person pod: the VP, production coordinator, and me. Each exec is assigned shows that they oversee. Mine currently has five. So we are responsible for setting up writers rooms, overseeing budgets and schedules, and...

    Chapman TWP MFA Alum Currently Working at Warner Bros. Television…. AMA!

    I graduated (officially) in May 2021, during the pandemic. Our ceremony was in August. During that time, I had LOTS of interviews, but because of the pandemic, things had slowed down at most of the production offices and studios. But I kept in contact with my internship contacts, and I actually...

    USC Writing for Screen and Television OR CHAPMAN TV Writing and Producing?

    Chapman does allow students to take courses outside of their discipline with no raise in tuition. So that’s an option. I always recommend auditing them or taking them pass/fail to other grad students. I’m sure it’s no different than most film schools in that regard. It’s honestly the production...

    USC Writing for Screen and Television OR CHAPMAN TV Writing and Producing?

    Hi! I’m about to graduate from the graduate TWP MFA program at Chapman but I do know a bit about the undergrad program and know a couple of the undergrads in the program so (hopefully) I can give you a little insight. And the biggest question you might need to ask yourself is if you’d rather...

    Difference Between Chapman's MFA in Film Production and Film/TV Producing?

    Film/TV Producing students are producers. And Film Production students are everyone else (directing, cinematography, sound design, prod. design) with the exception of screenwriting students and TV writing students. So under Film Producing, you’ll pick a specialty.

    Film MFA No Experience/ Program Recommendations?

    I was admitted to Chapman this year with no “experience”. I didn’t study screenwriting or film in undergrad. Since my focus was on television writing, I spent time breaking down scripts and teleplays to get a handle on the format. And I wrote. When I had a chance to take screenwriting workshops...

    Film School MFA No Experience?????

    I didn’t have any film experience, either. But I majored in Creative Writing so that gave me a chance to really hone my skills as a storyteller. My school offered screenwriting classes, so I took those when I could. On my own, I studied screenplays and teleplays and practiced screenwriting. I...

    What kind of projects do you like producing?

    I haven’t actually “produced” anything before ? but I’m interested in fiction. I’m really interested in the limited series format, and really love suspense.
