    Applied USC Application 2023

    It's been a nerve-racking process full of ups and downs. The main thing I am trying to do is try and refrain from letting any "background noise" psyching me up. I need to trust the process and have faith in my work. This is essential for my mental health during this labor-intensive process that...

    Applied AFI DIRECTING - 2023

    Was stressing over the "conflict" short and struggling with the script - but a trip to Provence with some film school classmates provided the perfect inspiration and I unexpectedly shot it there. Funnily enough, I feel it is the best short script I've ever written - the most cohesive and simple...

    Interviewed Columbia Directing/Screenwriting - 2023

    Denied (After Interview) AFI Directing - 2023

    Struggled greatly to write my motivational letter and ended being very honest about my personal connection to storytelling, filmmaking and directing as a medium and language. Pretty scary to do so but it seemed to me it was the asked for: who you are behind your curriculum. A bit nervous because...

    Denied (w/o Interview) UCLA Directing Fall 2023

    Oh BOI! I'm so excited to have submitted the this. I worked on it until I submitted it 4:30 pst. I thought the personal statement and statement of intent would be the easiest but I found that to be much harder than the film proposal. Either way I'm stocked to have gotten it done. Next up is...

    Applied USC SCA MFA Spring 2023

    I applied. All I received was notification that there would be an on-campus admissions event. I RSVP'd. Beyond that, nothing. I think all of the instructions were clear. I do believe that my submission materials are strong.
