    Getting ready for Film School MFA - Books & Films

    I suggest watching video essays as well. The best ones out there really teach a lot about the craft of filmmaking and analysing the stylistic choices of different filmmakers. Some channels I recommend: - Lessons for the Screenplay (for writing) - Channel Criswell & Every Frame A Painting for...

    UT Austin MFA Film Production Fall 2018

    I see - fair point. Didn't know about Columbia and UCLA assistantships.

    UT Austin MFA Film Production Fall 2018

    My theory is that UT's funding for the teaching assistantships offered to their continuing students (which give tuition reduction and a stipend) is contingent on students meeting certain academic criteria to ensure that they can teach college-level courses. That would explain their focus on...

    UT Austin MFA Film Production Fall 2018

    I received a conditional admit too. I'd say check with the graduate coordinator. It's worth noting also that UT Austin is a state school, and its admission is a two-step process. The department makes a recommendation to the graduate admission office, and they have the final say. It's possible...

    NYU MFA Grad Film 2018 Applicants

    Second round NYU applicant here. Been trying to spend the waiting period occupying my time with other things, hence my silence. You're right, last year majority of the interview notifications went out on the 10th. I expect more applicants to come out of the woodwork around, and after that date.

    AFI Directing 2018

    I applied/was admitted to AFI last year. My interview experience was not daunting, despite my extreme nervousness beforehand. They asked about myself, why I applied to AFI and what I felt the weaknesses of my video submissions were. Also asked about what books I'd read recently. It felt more...

    Prompt Inquiry - NYU & Columbia Film MFA

    Hi guys. I applied to NYU last year and the prompt changed just before the applications opened. However I was informed by the Graduate Admissions that it is expected to remain the same this year, so you can start working with it. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. Best of...

    Hey! Wanna make a friend?

    Hi Tuvana, I really enjoyed Lost In Istanbul! I didn't know much about the city before and it feels like a poetic, intimate portrait. Great job. I just found out that German public universities are free of charge :) so you might try looking into places like Film Academy Baden-Württemberg and...

    Vermont College of Fine Arts

    I looked into their program recently and it seems really interesting. Found someone who is/was in it and I will reach out to them to get thoughts. I agree that it could be good for the right kind of person. They seem to lean towards pushing you to experiment and take risks and that appeals to me...
