    USC or AFI? (For Directing/Film & TV Production)

    Hi all, long time commenter/lurker and first time poster here.

    AFI Editing Fall 2021

    Hi, is there a thread for AFI Editing program Fall 2021? I can’t find one, so I just create this. Seems that not so many people apply for AFI editing this year, or they just didn’t find this forum?

    Since this was my first year applying, I'm a bit nervous. I would say the hardest part was the Narrative Statement as I don't like talking about myself, but it's crucial for the interviewees to get a sense of your personality and who you are as a filmmaker. I reached out to previous applicants...
