    AFI Applicants 2026 - Who's applying?

    I hear you. Most of my client work is either shooting or editing and my psuedo joke is I can't wait for the day when I never have to edit again and just work with editors. That said, agreed.....it is AFI. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I've just spent about an hour and a half reading up on the...

    AFI Applicants 2026 - Who's applying?

    Hey Duke! Glad to make your acquaintance. I lurked on this site for probably a couple months before my first time posting. And I'm definitely with you on the nervousness. Will I get in??

    Not yet. It's still 3:16 AM California time though. I'm assuming they'll start rolling out emails starting at 9 AM most likely.

    Thanks for the info about being able to audit other classes. If I end up at AFI in the Fall I’ll definitely look to take advantage of that!

    AFI Applicants 2026 - Who's applying?

    The screening was good. I actually have a very similar story concept I originated around 2020 so I wanted to see this take on the idea. Slanted was like Mean Girls meets The Substance. As to admissions, not at all. I went to another of these screenings before my interview. Back then I did the...

    fall 2026 film school applications - Has anyone gotten interview invites yet?

    "The way thesis works is in Feb of first year a submission pool opens for the scripts and anyone from any discipline can submit, these are anonymized and reviewed by a panel who selects a much smaller group of approved thesis scripts in April/May. So, it is very common for directors to not have...

    Odds of still hearing from NYU grad film and AFI directing

    As far as AFI, I’m in a similar boat. I applied to their Directing program and Screenwriting program.

    AFI Applicants 2026 - Who's applying?

    I could be mistaken but so far it looks like only people in the Producing track have gotten notified early so far. They may still not notify the rest of us until March 16th.
