    Admitted (After Interview) AFI Cinematography Fall 2024 - MFA

    Second time applying in back to back years, managed to submit both old and new material. The entire AFI process has been tough and filled with ups and downs as I was able to get interviewed last year but waitlisted and didn't hear back. This time though, I feel way more prepared and ready to...

    Applied 2024 Fall AFI Cinematography

    It was so harsh. I revised whole my statement about 3 times. However, the process of other things for the application was smoother than the statement, I think. Now I’m waiting for interview invitation. I hope they admit me!

    Interviewed AFI Cinematography 2023

    The hardest thing for me was the motivation letter. I've never done anything like this before. When I was applying to VGIK cinematography program there was only an interview part(+stills and physics exam). The easiest part for me was selecting stills and visual samples.

    Attending (Admitted After Interview) AFI Cinematography - 2023

    I applied just in time for the initial deadline of 1st December 2022, because I didn't want to leave my application to chance.

    Denied (After Interview) AFI MFA Cinematography - 2023

    Really scary, just submitted my application, and waiting up for anything, really. International application, and did not submit any English Proficiency scores, but instead gave a Certificate of English as the Medium for Instruction from my home university.
