    AFI Screenwriting Fall 2021

    Thanks for sharing this experience- I was also waitlisted and can SERIOUSLY relate to your interview. Not sure it would be a good fit for me either. I come from a theatre/playwriting background where there's a somewhat greater emphasis on process and theory. From jump I was made to feel stupid...

    USC MFA Writing for Screen & Television (Screenwriting) 2021

    I feel you on this. I, too, had some serious folks vet my stuff. Worked on this app for months. I'd also be down to post my materials for exchange/feedback, if others are.

    Advice Branch into Theatre Arts?

    Speaking for myself, I'd use it! Maybe consider limiting the playwriting programs you include to ones that also have a significant screenwriting component? Just to help keep things relevant to the original intent of your (very useful) site? For example, Brown's playwriting MFA, as far as I...

    Advice Branch into Theatre Arts?

    Yeah, I think it's wise to expand. A lot of playwriting programs also have a significant screenwriting component, since it seems that cross-pollination is becoming so much more common in both industries these days. For some ideas about which programs to include you might check out this forum...

    AFI Screenwriting Fall 2021

    Mine started about a half hour late which threw me off a little and had a ripple effect on my tightly scheduled day. I think it went well overall, hard to know tbh. They were very personable and easy to talk to. Though only Anna really spoke/asked questions. They asked a lot about my background...

    AFI Screenwriting Fall 2021

    I basically feel the same way (I want as much as they can give me) but from what I've heard, it's helpful to come up with an actual dollar amount. You could just put the full (rather obscene) price of yearly tuition.

    NYU Dramatic Writing MFA - Fall 2021

    I used the 'Stage Play: US' format in Scrivener. But I actually think the 'Stage Play: UK' format is cleaner and easier to read. US looks something like this: LINDA Willy? Willy is that you? WILLY It's alright, I came back. UK looks something like this: LINDA. Willy? Willy is that you...

    NYU Dramatic Writing MFA - Fall 2021

    Does anyone know how set in stone the "concentration" thing is? Let's say I choose 'playwriting' on the application and submit a full length play. If I were admitted, could I change that at any point? Does it dictate the curriculum in a significant way? Maybe I'm just missing this on the website...

    USC MFA Writing for Screen & Television (Screenwriting) 2021

    @marianass45 I had this problem too. I submitted my Slideroom stuff first and then couldn't submit the main app. Try logging out of everything and then logging back in. If that doesn't work, make sure you check all the tabs on the Slideroom app. You might have to manually reenter your Slideroom...

    USC MFA Writing for Screen & Television (Screenwriting) 2021

    Hi folks! First time applicant. I submitted my USC Screenwriting app at the end of October. I'm also applying to AFI and a handful of playwriting/dramatic writing schools (including NYU). I found the series of small assignments a really welcome change from a single manuscript meant to totally...
