Northwestern MFA Writing for the Screen and Stage
It's so unfortunate that this program hasn't gotten as much attention compared to other MFA writing programs--which is why I felt so compelled to write this review. Let's talk location. Chicago is a fantastic city and is completely underrated in the face of NYC and LA. Might I add that I lived... -
AFDA - The School for the Creative Economy
This is specifically reviewing the Cape Town campus - I can not speak for the other. AFDA is great at marketing and they are in the business of selling dreams. I spent three years there for my undergraduate (but heard similar issues within MFA students), and although I don't regret it (as I... -
NYU - Tisch Kanbar Institute of Film and Television (M.F.A.)
Keep in mind, these are simply my thoughts as a current New York City resident who has applied to the NYU MFA Grad Film program. Some of this is my own personal observation of life in New York City, and some of it is based on research, and some just pure speculation. I didn't submit ratings for... -
UCLA TFT - Production/Directing (M.F.A.)
I am going to write this review from the rationale of why I chose UCLA, and compare it to the other big film schools that exist in the top four. UCLA is the best film school out there, but that obviously depends on your goals. They only accept 24 people a year, and even less than that for... -
Brooklyn College (CUNY) Feirstein - MFA in Cinematography
I went on the official tour in October (there are several between Sept and Dec) before I decided to apply. You have to sign up and bring an ID to get past security because the whole grad school is on a working film lot in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. They started with a question and answer session...

Undergraduate/graduate film school located in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's a state school, so tuition is very affordable. If you are not a resident, you would pay out of state tuition for your first year, then the remaining three years you can pay instate rates as long as you get a Nevada ID or DL License as soon as you arrive. (need to maintain residency for one year before instate rates kick in). Public transportation runs almost 24/7.
The school doesn't have actual concentrations, but the...
