    LMU Writing & Producing for TV 2021

    Hello! I didn't see a thread for LMU's writing MFA programs, either Writing & Producing for TV or Writing for the Screen. Personally, my focus is Writing & Producing for TV, but I'm happy to see anyone applying to LMU sound off and support each other in the MFA application journey. How's...

    USC MFA Writing for Screen & Television (Screenwriting) 2021

    Hello! I didn't see a thread for USC's MFA Writing for Screen & Television, so I figured I'd start one. How many of you are planning to apply, or have already applied? How are we feeling about the essays, challenge scenes, and 10-page writing sample? Personally, I feel like my essays are in...

    I think your review just solidifies how much I want to attend USC for this MFA program. Thanks for the in-depth and thorough thoughts!

    Chapman MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020

    They said it's an approximate number, but suggested I get as close to 115 as possible. I'm at 114 now and I think that's as far as I can take it, honestly, without feeling like I'm padding for page count. I'm actually looking at it right now, trying to decide if I can add back one more scene to...

    Chapman MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020

    No, I don't think so. I'm pretty ruthless on the kill your darlings aspect of editing. :-) But I do keep a separate Final Draft file of all scenes/dialogue/action lines that I cut. (Nerd, party of me...) So there might be something I can find to add back in if needed!

    Chapman MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020

    I'll probably call and ask tomorrow morning. Three pages would be adding two scenes or so. It's not terribly onerous; I'd just hate to slow down the pacing I worked hard for to meet a page necessity.

    AFI Screenwriting 2020 "An Encounter"

    Question on the 20-page screenplay sample requirement: does it need to be a short/feature or could the first 20* pages of pilot also meet the requirement? *(Honestly, it'd likely be the first 19 pages as that's where I have the Act I break. Then another page with the synopsis.)

    Chapman MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020

    UGH. I spent approximately 6 draft rewrites to get this feature down to 112 pages (also planning to submit it to Nicholl 2020). Now I need to add three pages for this application? Chapman, I hate you.

    UCLA MFA Screenwriting 2020

    Hi! I applied by the deadline, obviously, but didn't know to come say hi here. So. Hi! I'm applying to UCLA (done), USC (done), Chapman (up next) and AFI (up next). And possibly NYU. But, I honestly think that would be just to see if I could get accepted. Fingers crossed for everyone here...

    USC School of Cinematic Arts MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020

    Hi! Joining this thread because I've just submitted my application. A bit later than I wanted... but for a great reason! A short script I wrote in my final semester of undergrad was chosen for the senior thesis projects for this semester. We just wrapped principal photography on Monday, with...
