    This was discussed earlier in the thread for NYC, whose submission guidelines are very similar to Asia. Personal statements from those on these forums have ranged from 680 words (me) up to around 2000 words. I called admissions and a girl said it should be 2-pages. E.B. also called and spoke to...

    I've only been speaking as an NYC filmmaking program applicant thus far. Yes, it appears the deadline for Asia is Jan 1st, so no worries there. If anyone is comfortable, it would be nice to see some of the visual samples anyone else has submitted, if available online.

    My thought is that there is no one "most important part" of the application. They're trying assimilate an overall idea of who you are through these elements. Perhaps your 4-minute piece will "wow" them, or rather, just speak to them in a unique way. I would think it's a good idea to make every...

    No worries, this thread begs for new participants. Ha, I guess technically the site doesn't specify that, but I'm certain they expect you to write an original. However the deadline has passed for Fall submissions. Have you submitted already?

    And as for you future lurkers out 3-5 years from now, don't think you're so special just because you can skip to page 12 of this thread and see whether or not we were accepted.

    TISCH 2011 hopefuls lets nail-bite together!

    I just broke a sweat. The one page concept I submitted was one of my favorite parts of my portfolio, as I think it tells a unique and engaging story. However, it's for an animated feature; stop-motion, in particular. The prompt they provided did not specify live-action. Since the program is...

    Your work is very interesting... Did you actually film that "train" footage, or is it stock? If you organized that, I'm extremely impressed. Your stuff a pretty timeless but genuine feel to it. The starkness and dark imagery reminds me of early Lynch. Yes, these boards are a bit poisonous...
