    Admitted (w/o Interview) Chapman University – Film Production MFA (Cinematography Emphasis)

    The process was pretty good, I spent most of my time on the Transformational Moment essay which I think made a big difference in my application. I submitted a 5-minute piece for my cinematography reel :)

    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) Chapman University MFA in Film Production with Cinematography Emphasis

    The application process was straightforward and fairly easy. Just follow the instructions, submit the material, and you'll have no issues. The only thing that sucks is waiting to hear back.

    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. I have been pretty determined to make sure my application is as good as it can be. My biggest challenge was the 10/60 prompt, as I was sick with the one and only covid...

    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.

    Pretty smooth, the online application system makes it seamless to apply.

    Should i go to film school?

    Hey all, I really want to be a DP. Hopefully a successful one at that. Through my myriad of research, I have found that the vast majority of successful DP’s in the US have gone to AFI, USC, or NYU. I am having a really difficult time finding outliers, eg DP’s that haven’t gone to a film school...

    The application process was quite thorough. You will definitely have to spend some time thinking why do you REALLY want to apply for this course in the first place. Secondly, you'll have to submit up to three short films which altogether can come to no more than 15 minutes. Since I haven't got...

    Admitted (After Interview) MA Cinematography - 2023

    The application process was very thorough. It is as far from a cut and paste job as you can imagine. You have to submit up to three short films which altogether can come to no more than 15 minutes. This meant I needed to edit one of my projects to reduce it, so I could include it in my...

    Admitted (After Interview) CHAPMAN '22 BFA Film Production

    Application was a lot of work and it was due early. I feel like my essays improved for those schools I applied to later in the process. On top of that had to make a film to the prompt provided. Lot of work but it wasn't super annoying like some applications. I think touring the school before...
