    AFI Fellows 2017

    Hi guys - late to the party but I made it! I'm 34 from PA/BMore/Chicago. I have produced a few things at the indie/micro-budget level, and done commercial work locally for several years, but am interested in moving into working as a writer/producer. I can't wait to move to the West Coast and...

    AFI 2017

    Yeah, they said that no scholarship money was available at this point, but funds could open up depending on how the makeup of the class shifts in the coming months. Unless something changes I'm all in on loans, but it's gotta be done...

    Waitlisted at Columbia/AFI/UCLA/USC/UT/FSU/NYU/Chapman/LMU

    I accepted the offer at LMU after being waitlisted at my first choice (AFI), believing I didn't have much of a shot. I just got off the waitlist at AFI today. I was WPTV at LMU, not WSCR, (so, unfortunately, it won't open a spot for you), but I will be opening up a spot for someone still on the...

    Was just offered a spot in Screenwriting - I don't know who gave up their spot, but thank you! I am beyond excited!

    LMU v. BU

    Thanks for the input! I did end up committing to LMU, after speaking with the head of the program a few times. Their commitment to their students seems genuine, and their alumni network solid. Hope I meet you on campus in the fall!

    NEED ADVICE: AFI vs. UCLA for screenwriting

    The way it was described to me in the interview was that the bootcamp shorts turn into the first year cycle films, but after that the screenwriters have a lot of flexibility in terms of what they will focus on. All screenwriters complete a first year feature. For the second year, participation...

    Chapman MFA Fall 2017

    so...looking at the spreadsheet, no other screenwriters have heard anything from Chapman yet? And no screenwriter interviews?

    LMU v. BU

    Hi guys - thanks for the input! I really appreciate how much these forums connect us with other people in the same boat. I am aiming to be a strong writer-producer capable of operating in a variety of production models (I don't want to be left behind by over-specialization as distribution and...

    LMU v. BU

    It looks like my choice for 2017 is going to come down to LMU or BU - I am waiting to hear back from a few other schools, but they are long shots. I know and understand the significant differences between the schools themselves, and how the campus and city life would be different. There is a...

    2017 - MFA Applicants

    I am in the same boat with LMU/AFI - admitted to LMU, but they want a deposit by March 31 or I forfeit my place. Interviewed with AFI, but they won't notify until April 4. I am not in a position to pay 2 deposits, but have NO IDEA what my chances at AFI are. I have no idea what to do...

    AFI 2017

    I just got the AFI Financial Aid info as well. I'm over here looking at every piece of information like I'm going to divine some deeper meaning from it. April 4 is too far away.
