    Admitted (After Interview) NYU GRAD FILM

    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...

    Applied NYU Tisch Grad Film Program - 2024

    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...

    Waitlisted (After Interview) NYU MFA Grad Film Fall 2024

    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...

    Admitted but Not Attending (w/o Interview) USC MFA Film and Television Production

    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...

    BA and MFA difference?

    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...

    Does the dramatic story for NYU's Grad film program have to be at MAX 2 pages?

    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.

    MFA at UCLA, Columbia ... or wait for COVID to end?

    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...

    Thoughts on Chapman's Grad Directing program?

    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...

    My Months of Grad School Research Compiled into ONE Master Post!

    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...

    UCLA MFA Application Procedures

    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...
