    Goldsmiths MA Script Writing | Accepted! Should I take it?

    I've applied to Goldsmiths and London Film School for their MA Script Writing programs. I've recently heard from Goldsmiths, and I've been accepted. If I get accepted to both, I would go for LFS - just because they've been a lot more transparent with me about what the program is like. If...

    Denied (After Interview) AFI MFA Cinematography - 2023

    Really scary, just submitted my application, and waiting up for anything, really. International application, and did not submit any English Proficiency scores, but instead gave a Certificate of English as the Medium for Instruction from my home university.
