    Admitted (After Interview) CalArts Film/Video 2022

    Very smooth application. They clearly list out everything they want from you and how to format it. Super communicative during interview process. There was a discord chat created for interviewees that was a nice touch that set them apart.

    The application required the most work compared to the other schools. I enjoyed doing the writing, but felt a bit nervous since I had never written an extensive artist statement.

    Applied usc-2022

    Stressful! DUH. I applied to UCLA, USC, AFI, and Cal Arts. Making the materials was mostly fun but I had an animation project literally fall apart without time to correct so I had to create a new concept close to the deadline. That wasn't the worst part, the worst part was watching my essays...

    [CalArts] "Strongly Encouraged" On-Campus Interview

    Hi guys, I applied for Film Directing at CalArts and received email for interview. It says an on-campus interview is strongly encouraged, but Skype is also doable.
