    Applied AFI - Cinematography 2020

    first time applying. I'm still in my senior year now. I got several small commercials shooting experiences. I heard that the average age of AFI students is 27. So maybe the school prefers the applicants from the industry. But I still want to have a try. I put much effort on my application materials.

    How I chose between NYU Dramatic Writing and AFI Screenwriting.

    How I chose between NYU Dramatic Writing and AFI Screenwriting. I anguished over the thought of turning down either school. As a true cinephile, how could I consider living outside of LA? That’s where the industry is. I had to attend AFI. But what about the legends born out of New York, like...

    Hi guys, I would really love some insight and thoughts from you all about this decision. I applied to both AFI & UCLA MFA directing programs hoping that I would get into one, but never imagining I could have gotten into both. I though that if I got into one, that would be the one I'd go to...
