    Greetings!

    Thanks a lot, I appreciate that. I'm applying to the Cinema Directing program, as I'd like to focus on that. Good luck to you as well!

    Greetings!

    Currently I'm planning to reapply to NYU and Columbia College Chicago. Funding is one of my biggest priorities, and that's influenced my choices. If you're looking for an industry standard 2 year program, I'd suggest trying the AFI Conservatory as well. It's quite expensive though. CCC's Cinema...

    Greetings!

    Welcome! it's a little slow around this time of this year, but it will pick up closer to application season. I work in advertising and make short films (sparingly) in my spare time. Gearing up for my second round of applying to Film production programs. Any particular schools in mind?

    Hey guys I'm 25, from Accra, Ghana. Worked in IT for a short while, now in marketing. Ultimately planning to move back home and start my own production company. Still waiting to hear back from Kino Eyes (a european film program) but seriously considering AFI. @Heisenberg91 I'm guessing you've...

    Video Essays on Film/Filmmaking

    I'm slightly obssessed with video essays. I t think they're a really great way to break down the craft of filmmaking and a useful resource. Tony Zhou's video about Kurosawa's composition of movement is a great example, if you needed one. Thought I'd share two of the comprehensive guides to all...

    Welp. Finally got my rejection. Email to check applyyourself

    AFI 2017

    Ah, yes. For some reason, I confused "financial aid" with "scholarship", which is what I think @ireneyang meant. Wow, I didn't know that. On the one hand, I'm kind of relieved because a lot of people seemed to be unhappy with him. But then again, it feels unsettling to be (potentially) joining...

    NYU TISCH GRAD FILM MFA: Fall 2017

    kind of annoying that NYU makes us wait so long knowing that you're basically out of the game if you didn't get an interview (for those that didn't). then again, might just be a bureaucratic administrative thing.

    It came up back when it happened here and a one of the site members in AFI commented on it. Check the thread Big Shake Up @ AFI

    Comment by 'BadouBoy' in 'So you've been denied to grad school, now what?'

    Great post- thank you for sharing your experience with us. And congrats on wrapping up production on your short, would love to hear about it also. I hope this doesn't sound trite but from your posts I sense that you are passionate, resilient and open-minded about your career path. To me, that's...

    You're welcome. I also applied to NYU and the Kino Eyes program in Europe. I really wanted to apply to UCLA and Columbia, but funding opportunities was on the top of my priorities.

    AFI 2017

    Ha! I watched Touki Bouki, one of my favorite films right before my interview (it was over Skype) and it was a beautiful experience. I think the nervousness heightened my senses and made me really take it all in. It was great motivation. Anyway as @Heisenberg91 said, it really is just a relaxed...

    Hey Jason! I applied for Directing and had a skype interview last month. It's late but better late than never right?

    NYU TISCH GRAD FILM MFA: Fall 2017

    Thanks for the update @Moirae- at this point I'd be grateful to hear anything. Really surprised that no-one seems to have heard back from dramatic writing. I'm guessing that process is handled separately from grad film's?
