    NYU Grads -- Mick Casale's list of 50 Questions?

    Hey everyone! Long time lurker. Question for the NYU MFA folk. I just read in Hollywood Reporter that Shaka King prizes Mick Casale's list of 50 Questions to ask before starting a feature as among the most important tools in his arsenal. Would anyone be interested in chatting with me about...

    Best TV and Screenwriting Program with focus on Comedy

    Hey all! I'm mulling it over again. Two years ago, I submitted to UCLA and got accepted into accepted for a Screenwriting MFA. I came very close to going but, to be honest, I was in sort of a fear-based, survival-mode mindset. I also had a celebrity attached to a project that I was trying to...

    Is UCLA extension worth it?

    I did screenwriting. I'd prefer not to review it because I didn't have a good terribly good experience for my own reasons. I was deliberating between four projects and I chose to write the wrong two while I was there. I spent a few months writing a screenplay for someone who said they would make...

    Is UCLA extension worth it?

    Yes, I did. Although I've never taken a directing course at UCLA Extension. I'm sure they're good. You can enroll in a "Directing Track" there. The Professional Program is also a pretty good crash course. They're not always at night. It depends on the course. I don't have direct experience with...

    UCLA MFA Screenwriting 2018 (Fall 2018)

    I’d imagine these changes are going to be for the better. Does anybody know what Richard Walter’s reputation was over the past few years? Also random question: I’ve heard great things about Howard Suber’s structure class. Has anyone taken it?

    Why do you want a Film School MFA?

    1) the time to write, 2) the connections, 3) the education, 4) worst case scenario: afterwards I can teach screenwriting at a university. I’ll likely be making as much if not more (even in debt) than what I am making now, and I’ll likely enjoy it more.

    Icebreakers When was the moment you realized that you wanted to make films?

    My Dad took me to see 'Braveheart' in 1995 at the Cine-Capri theater, this giant single screen theater in Phoenix, AZ that's gone now. It's ironic I'm writing this today because I just told him I'm applied and got into UCLA today. I don't think I'd ever seen an R-Rated movie before. I certainly...

    Hey guys! First time posting here. I just found out that I was accepted into UCLA as an MFA Screenwriting student. I have some questions about the school and the program. I wrote a longer post over in introductions. I'd love it if you could field some of my questions. Thanks!

    Need Advice: Accepted as UCLA Film School MFA

    Hi there! Quick intro: my name is Josh. I grew up in Phoenix, Az and fell in love with film the minute my father took me to see 'Braveheart' at the Cine Capri theater (R.I.P.) on Camelback Road. It's bonkers to think that I owe my love of film to a movie I no longer like made by a guy I like...
