I just got into BC Feirstein (for Screenwriting) & have noticed a few others on here have as well. Because it's such a young program, I thought it could be good to pool any info we've gathered to help us with our decisions.
I'm talking to someone I know who is a recent alum later this week but...
Hi everyone, I'm in the process of applying to MFAs in the US, Canada and the UK and as you all know they all require some form of visual sample of your work. Now, I attempted to shoot a short film this year that I was going to use to apply for film school with and I spent a lot of money on it...
I got in! I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the program. It's becoming a top contender for me, but I'm still waiting to hear back from USC, NYU, and Chapman.
This application process goes smooth if you begin mid-September--as soon as the UCLA application uploads. Started with the statement of purpose (500 words) and two feature film treatments (took a script and transformed it into treatment and did one from scratch.) The producer program...
Hey there,
I submitted my application to the UCLA Producers Program last night and was going over the application proof to make sure everything was submitted properly. I noticed that I could see each document that I posted except for the Producers Questionnaire. Has this happened for anyone else?
The application process was more or less straight forward. It was fairly easy, just take your time and pace yourself to finish all the needed requirements.
I read an interview with Black List founder and CEO Franklin Leonard in which he said, "Film schools encourage students to make their final project a feature.”
Which film schools allow or encourage their students to make feature length films in school? I only know about programs where students...
I am currently in my second year at a top fourteen law school. I want to pursue a career in entertainment. My ideal job would to be a writer or show runner but I also am interested in the business side (I have an undergrad degree in economics from an ivy league) and would gladly pursue producing...
I've been wanting to explore grad programs for next year and Ive hit a few snags. In short:
- Low GPA
- No letters of rec (its been more than a decade since I was in school)
- BFA in photo, not film
- I owe money to old school through an unfortunate misunderstanding
Because I owe money (they...
Hi all,
Longtime lurker here, but I applied to a few programs to pursue my MFA this upcoming Fall. So far, NYU flat out rejected me. However, I was accepted to the UCLA Production/Directing program and waitlisted for Columbia's Screenwriting/Directing program, both after interviews. Even though...
hey peeps so i just got an interview request for lmu and i was wondering if u guys could drop some questions u would normally ask during an interview...i have a really bad habit of blanking out during interviews like for jobs and stuff and i end up looking so stupid bc everything seems pretty...
Hi all,
My name is Seok and I'm currently in my third year doing MFA in Film at Syracuse University (Transmedia VPA). It's a pretty neat program with amazing faculty and people. We are generally more geared to independent films and the MFA program admits between 5-8 people per year. I know film...
So hi, I'm a rising senior studying communication with a minor in film studies. I had no intention of ever going to grad school but recently found myself with 10 tabs open of different grad sites and lists of grad programs through the US.
So yea, I'm kinda worried because my first two years of...
I recently participated in group discussion recently about the roles of women in the film industry along with three other filmmakers from the Metro-Detroit area. It's now available on YouTube so I thought I'd share the link. I hope some of you enjoy it.
PS yes, that is an awkward and candid...
You didn’t get in. Now what?
First of all, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. If you want to read more about my personal experiences with rejection, I have a blog post on it. But what this article is going to focus on is the steps you can take now to either move on or improve your chances for...
Just saw Chris's post saying traffic on the site had slowed and congratulating everyone on their efforts for this years round. My reaction was: thanks Chris but hold on there just a second! I've met a few folks who are waitlisted and holding out for first choice schools. I got into Art Center...
