  • Admin isn't sure who is full time and who is online.
I have an MFA in TV production that I haven't used in 30 years. I took the one-week film making course to morph from TV jargon to film and update from analog to digital. Some of the professors were the best I've ever seen. The course only required a one to two-minute unedited film project, but it inspired me to do a nine-minute film I uploaded to YouTube, and it got me recognition from local independent film makers. I then took the 15-week Screenplay Story and Structure course and completed two complete outlines of movies. I have now entered the second 15-week course and hope to have one script ready to produce locally and another for marketing by April. I think NYFA is well worth the money if you're serious about film making and ready to put your time and energy into it. The administration, however, leaves much to be lacking. I could not enter the first course ontime because they wanted me to prove I had a high school education, even tho my application showed an MFA. The second course used info from my first course and went smoothly. But now they've updated their info entry system and seem to be more worried about my skin color than my qualifications to continue. I don't understand why they are doing this, but I hope they straighten it out soon.

You can update your review to reply to this so you remain anonymous... But I'm sorry what? That doesn't sound right. You mean they're asking for your race? That's pretty standard on things but it's illegal for them to use that information for discrimination purposes.
