Name Game - What's up with that?
Yo. Sitting here looking at everyone's pseudonym and was thinking a way to take our minds off of constantly refreshing the SAME threads every 10 seconds we could refresh this one too. So. If you're down...state your name and why you choose it. Here's me (heella boring): JF (Initials) SW...- JFSWLA

USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv)
I've been checking my status everyday for months now and it hasn't changed since about mid-November: YOUR FILE HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT FOR REVIEW AND AN ADMISSION DECISION. YOU MAY CHECK THIS SYSTEM PERIODICALLY FOR UPDATES, AND IF THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT REQUIRES...- JFSWLA

Peter Stark Producing Program 2014/2015
Talking about wanting to be near/on campus. I live about 8 minutes away and I changed my new favorite cafe location to a shop nearby just to imagine how it is to "hang at SC." I mean writers are everywhere in LA and I've written and worked with guys professionally on FCP prior to applying, but...- JFSWLA

2014' Acceptance / Interviews / Rejections
For USC a scholarship application for prospective students went out a few weeks ago and needs to be returned by Feb. 12. From what I've heard it is rare to receive a scholarship in the first semester there unless you were to be awarded the Annenberg but it's always possible. The scholarship...- JFSWLA

2014' Acceptance / Interviews / Rejections
What's weird is that after freaking out for two straight time-wasting weeks about whether I will receive two rejections and/or acceptances (or one of each), a wave of calmness has washed over me and I'm finally back at writing...thankfully. Coming back to reality is great. I, too, had "the...- JFSWLA

2014' Acceptance / Interviews / Rejections
Dude, no doubt Dunham's work is nothing to write home about but it was done "relatively" cheaply - pun intended (hate that phrase man). I didn't realize how much of her family was involved on the project, honestly (her mom, sister - not hating, I think that's rad), until looking it up on...- JFSWLA

Well beyond all the "money what ifs," I, personally, am still looking forward to hearing back from the schools I applied to soon (fingers crossed!). Any updates from viewers?- JFSWLA

2014' Acceptance / Interviews / Rejections
Agreed on the risk and the statement about the MFA may or may not help you in your goals...I'm sure it's a fear we all have really. As for grants, etc, schools give grants, scholarships, etc for a great thesis film but only if your film idea wins accolades against your peer's ideas (whom could...- JFSWLA

2014' Acceptance / Interviews / Rejections
First off I think for most of us the wall to get over is the money...I, one hundred percent wholeheartedly, agree with you that yes money is the key to getting anything done...anywhere, not just for movies but for any "business" - just ask my landlord (not a movie maker) and the guy who owns my...- JFSWLA

2014' Acceptance / Interviews / Rejections
That's pretty sweet. As for me, I have a BA in Economics from UCR, worked for a few years in banking then went back to school and received a BFA from Art Center before going back to work in interactive media as an AD/Writer. I've been writing off and on my entire life (poems and prose) and...- JFSWLA

Pretty rad route to film school! Where did you take your SW Fellowship/Production Program? Have you been working out here (LA) or in UT? Good luck with your interview! Sounds like you'll do great.:D- JFSWLA
