Great! Straightforward. I have spent a decent amount of time in the industry and on set. I think I probably could have a successful career if I moved to LA, but as of now work is slow in NYC and I figured that NYU would give me the boost I need for more consistent work. Besides that, I want to...
I enjoyed the process and felt like my writing skills improved. Considering my lack of background or professional experience in film, I made sure each creative sample was as strong as I could make them. I surprisingly spent the most time on the dialogue scene. Struggled with it in the beginning...
It's gone really well! The application was a bit different compared to last year's (they've changed up the dramatic story) and I enjoyed writing everything.
This is my second time applying - I was accepted last year (and was over the moon!) and accepted my place, but was unable to attend due to...
I found the process really fun! It has the most requirements from any film school, but I really enjoyed the prompts and variety of the application.
The short video was difficult to get right (thanks, millennial pause lol) but I got there in the end. I found the creative sample of writing a...
I was just wondering what are the differences between film undergrad and grad studies, more towards USC. I already have an undergrad degree from the UK in a different subject and I'm trying to decide on wether to get another Bachelor degree or a Masters. Both of the courses are very similar on...
Working on the dramatic story I tried cutting down as much as I could and right now it's at about 2 and 1/2 pages. The instructions said to write a 2-page story but I'm not sure if they meant that it has to be strictly under 2 pages or slightly over 2 pages.
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 everyone.
Is there anyone that graduated from, is currently attending, or has insights into the NYU MBA/MFA dual program, particularly in regard to their acceptance rate, number of students admitted, average age, and the desired GPA range and/or test scores they may be looking for? My...
Hi guys!
I was wondering if anyone here knows much about Chapman's MFA in Film Directing? I know lots of people who attended as undergrads, but not many who can speak on the grad program qualities and aspects.
If anyone has any thoughts or know people who attended, or can at least tell if they...
After a back-and-forth chat with Chris, the guy responsible for this amazing forum, he asked if I would share the pages of research and info I have been gathering as I narrowed down the graduate schools I was looking into for applying. And since I have finally finished all my applications (all...
Could someone clarify this for me? The UCLA Screenwriting MFA Application procedures says to both UPLOAD and MAIL the departmental application along with the statement of purpose and writing samples. Is it just me or does this seem rather strange? I'm mostly concerned because I'm living abroad...
