    AFI 2019 Screenwriting

    Hey guys, looks like they're still scheduling interviews for this (I just received an invitation!). I also applied to the Directing track so I'm not sure if that had something to do with this decision or if I'd be interviewing for both but just an FYI if you're still hoping for an invite!

    How old are you?

    27 going on 28 this Fall. Heard anecdotes from alumni that say the range is typically all over the place and depending on the applicants of any particular year can range from mostly fresh out of undergrad to a few folks in their 40s/50s looking for a career change. But the average has...

    AFI Conservatory

    Honestly, I love both, have more experience in screenwriting, but would love to learn directing in an institutional setting. Applied to both so other folks could judge what they'd see better suited for me in a graduate program. Regardless, I see myself continuing to write even if I end up doing...

    AFI - Directing 2019

    Several views from Empower spread out over a few days over the past 2 weeks or so. They viewed the whole video a few times but no interview invitations yet. From past years, it looks like they mostly finish up invites for an entire program first before moving on and Screenwriting invites are...

    Questions that you'd like to ask Current Film Students

    Hey, I’ve taken tours of AFI and USC (and had a friend who graduated from USC’s Screenwriting MFA) and I asked this question specifically. At least for the first year, it’s pretty much a 7-day-a-week program. They justify it as “if this is what you really want to do...” and I think they’re...

    AFI Conservatory

    Hey all. So I applied to both the Directing and Screenwriting tracks-- assuming one's portfolios are of similar quality, has anyone had experience with being asked to interview for both tracks or just one versus the other? Do you get to choose after interviewing for both or do they generally...

    USC Feature Film Concept

    Hey everyone, I'm hoping to apply for the Fall 2019 semester and had a few questions about the writing sample prompt: "Describe a concept for a feature-length movie, fiction or documentary, which you would like to develop. (No more than two pages)." First, I was wondering about what...

    UCLA 2015/2016 Decisions

    Well there's that. And the networking. And the resources the school has to offer. And regardless if any of us could make something great right now, it doesn't mean that you can't get better. Of course the option to take the money I'd spend at film school and put it into my own film is there, but...

    UCLA 2015/2016 Decisions

    Applied for the production MFA last year and heard about interviews at the tail end of February BUT last year the deadline was also a month earlier. So I wouldn't be too surprised if interview notices didn't go out until the end of March roughly. Also in regards to the prior work thing, they'll...
