    LMU Film School MFA 2024 - Who's applying?

    Hi everyone! I have my interview tomorrow and I'm just wondering for those of you who have interviewed with LMU already - what was it like? Was it with just one person, or a panel of people? What kinds of questions did they ask? I'm prepping for it today and tomorrow so just curious what your...

    NYU Tisch Graduate Film 2024 - Who's applying?

    Thanks for sharing - after searching I saw that all admits were after an interview, so looks like that seems to be a required step if one were to be admitted. I'm holding out hope that I get a request to interview in my inbox soon 🤞🏻🥲

    USC SCA Film & Television Production 2024

    I was told by my interviewer and have heard from current students of MFA program that getting an interview from USC does NOT indicate that you will be accepted. There are people who get interviewed and rejected, and people who get accepted without ever being interviewed. Don't be discouraged if...

    Super interesting - thank you so much for your detailed answers, I learned a lot here. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to attend an info session for USC during the application process in the fall so I haven't had a chance to learn more in depth about how their curriculum is set up - I just...

    Reply to a question by 'observer222' on the film school 'USC School of Cinematic Arts'

    I'm just thinking, if it's this competitive to get selected to make films at USC, I need to weigh what I would do if I didn't get selected to make any films, because that feels like an important part of film school for me - the chance to put concentrated time into making serious films and...

    Thank you so much for answering! Interesting...so just for my own understanding & clarification: as a Directing track student, let's say you don't get selected for an advanced project, and you also don't get selected to make a thesis...what are you coming out of the program with for your body...

    Question by 'observer222' on the film school 'USC School of Cinematic Arts'

    I have a question for current or former students of the MFA program: I was told that students have to be selected to make a film in the second year of the MFA program, and that the thesis film is optional. What are you coming out of the Film Production (Directing) program with if you don't get...

    Oscars 2024 - Who should win? What are your picks?

    It looks like The Taste of Things will be representing France at the Oscars for the International Feature category, not Anatomy of a Fall. But Anatomy is still in the running for best picture and best actress for Hüller...

    Oscars 2024 - Who should win? What are your picks?

    Ooh good question...best picture, hmm - I think definitely Oppenheimer and Barbie will get noms. Maybe Killers of The Flower Moon. Honestly, probably Poor Things too - it is performing really well at the box office (I work at an indie film theater and we've kept it running since December because...

    Oscars 2024 - Who should win? What are your picks?

    Agreed - Emma Stone should def be nominated for Poor Things!! That was an incredibly difficult character to play, and she did it so naturally. That character seems fun and free on the surface, but I think it took a lot of precision. I also think Sandra Hüller for Anatomy of A Fall and/or Zone of...

    Review by 'observer222' on item 'UCLA Extension'

    In this class, you learn the basic language of directing (ex: shot types, shot sizes, camera lenses, camera movements, mise en scene, etc.). You learn the tools directors can use to convey story and emotions through the visual medium. You learn about story beats, axis, etc. You analyze films and...

    Review by anonymous on item 'UCLA Extension'

    Took an online 10-week course for Feature Film 1. In this class, you learn the basics of story structure, analyze scripts, and start working on a draft of your own screenplay. Very much like a writer's group with weekly assignments and reviewing each other's work. Great instructor, she was very...
