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...
Exclusively for our Supporting Members, this is the second part of our 2 hour interview with the Columbia SOA film school admissions team.
FilmSchool.org is 100% advertisement free so without our Supporting Members, in-depth articles and interviews like this one would not be possible...
I feel confident about my materials. This is probably my strongest application. I'm feeling good about the process so far. I hope to be admitted, same as everyone else here.
This is my first year applying and I spent a lot of time crafting my application materials. I turned in all of my materials by December 1st and have been a nervous wreck ever since panicking and obsessing over whether I made it clear to the admissions dept about my desire/intentions to move into...

Hello everyone!
I am so glad I found this website, I wish I had found it sooner :( its been really helpful to read others experiences. But anyway, I have been very blessed to been admitted to both USC and NYU for the upcoming Fall for their MFA program. A little context, I graduated May 2021...
It was difficult to summarize my academic, professional and spiritual journey all in one essay so I don't believe I did my best in terms of the personal statement. I did try my hardest to convey my passion and thoughts on film though. I think that out of everything I submitted, my visual sample...
Hi!
I'm interested in NYU's grad program for film! Do any of you know what courses are taken in each year? Especially curious about the curriculum for the first year.
The application process went swimmingly. All of my questions were answered and in the informational meeting I attended I interacted directly with the director of graduate admissions.
Hey all!
I love FIlmSchool.org, and it helped me a lot when I was applying so I thought I'd check in and update on my first year in school! I'm liking my program a lot, and I find it helpful. Feel free to ask any questions you might have about applications, classes, workload, etc.
Hi guys, I am from India.
I'm trying to make an educated decision to apply to film schools. I am interested in a two year MFA program in either cinematography, screenwriting and directing. Schools in NYU and LA are extremely expensive, so is the living cost. There's now way I could afford them...

Hey all!
I heard about this awesome series a while ago, it ran in the early 2000s on IFC when they were super indie and I was pleased to find out every episode of it's one and only season is...
Hey Guys!
First off, I'm a complete newbie and this is kind of my first post here.
I've recently quit the corporate world and have decided to take the plunge into the big, bold (and supposedly bad :) ) world of films and showbiz. My undergrad is from India in Commerce and I was working in...
It has been a dream for me to attend Film School in the US to get the correct grooming to be more successful in the field. Unfortunately, I have received rejection from most schools in the US even before my merit or credentials could be processed all owing to the fact that I have a three year...
