Little bit about me. I'm in my late twenties and work in the film industry in LA. I want to be a better screenwriter (and ultimately leave a program with marketable scripts.) I got into a good MFA program but it's extremely expensive and I'm looking at about 80k in loans in total, on top of...
So here’s my story- I applied as a freshman undergrad to UCLA TFT for screenwriting/production. I did some research on UCLA’s film program during the summer, but couldn’t find anything specific. I also found some negative articles that warned me against the program. However, TFT is still at #2...

Hello, I'm looking for film schools in Canada to learn cinematography and filmmaking. I've never been to any film school or studied anything related to film in school. I don't know if I should start with undergrad or grad school for filmmaking. I'm currently a professional working in a regular...

Hello there potential filmschool applicants!
The application / interview process can be stressful and confusing. Information online is scattered around in bits and are often third hand or from a decade ago. You may feel like you're trying to...
Hello. I am very interested in going into the field of film production, and I applied to several film schools. I narrowed my choices down to UCSD's "Visual Arts-Media" program and UCI's "Film and Media Studies". The problem I am currently facing is that I can not really make up my mind on a...
Hello, I am a senior in high school and have been accepted into three reputable film programs; two in upstate New York, Syracuse University and Ithaca College. Both schools offered compelling financial incentives, and I am essentially left to determine the quality of their respective programs...
Hi, I'm currently a junior in high school in California. The college admission processes are coming by soon. Obviously, the college admission process is completely unpredictable (lori, cough cough) but I would like to know how hard is it to be accepted into a film school (yes, I know each school...
Hey Everyone!
I'm currently a soon-to-be USC MFA student in a few months, and crazy enough, I'm still debating on whether or not I should go.
Of course I've heard from people that you don't really need film school, and since I'd been working in animated films I had plenty of resources to...
I graduated with a Bachelor's degree a few years back in a major totally unrelated to film. I'm looking to go back to school for film but need some guidance on where to look! Since I have a degree, I'm not sure where I should be applying or looking. I live in Long Beach, so CSULB would be a...
Chris has recently given me the opportunity to write articles for our wonderful forum as a site contributor. What kind of articles would you find helpful as undergrad students and applications? I have an article planned with an undergrad student who's graduating this semester from a small...
If anyone wants to debate the pros and cons of gaining a film school education vs, say, the value of working your way up on set ...heres a thread for you to have that debate.
Hey everybody,
first of all, this is not a thread on weather or not to go to film school. I have made the decision to go (basically to make as much stuff as possible without having to call up friends or shooting my dog etc)...
and yes, i know that this is a thing that have been touched upon...
I was wondering whether there is a service out there that helps you research film schools/apply to them?
I've been looking into going to film school for a long time, but the task of looking into all the different schools, weighing the pro's and cons and putting together a budget/plan always...
Submitted my application the day of the deadline. I submitted a short film I did cinematography for, a film reel, and a 20-page screenplay. I also wrote a 2-page scene (an application requirement for the program).

Interview was with three faculty members, was very personal and lasted over 30 minutes, I had time to ask all my questions. Very supportive and responsive faculty. Not the most impressive facilities for those interested in more traditional filmmaking, but good resources for installation and...
