    LMU vs. AFI Film School Fall 2018

    Chapman vs CSUN vs LMU for MFA Screenwriting

    Hi guys, I'm planning to apply to a film school for a MFA in Screenwriting, but I'm not interested in the big four (USC, UCLA, NYU, AFI) because they're too expensive and competitive. My plan is to build industry connections without going into a shit ton of debt. I know film school isn't...

    LMU v. BU

    It looks like my choice for 2017 is going to come down to LMU or BU - I am waiting to hear back from a few other schools, but they are long shots. I know and understand the significant differences between the schools themselves, and how the campus and city life would be different. There is a...

    Boston U vs Loyola Marymount for Film Production

    I have been accepted to both programs but am struggling to choose between the two. LMU clearly has the location advantage being right in LA, Boston U seems like a better all around school. My goal is to direct films in the future, I have no interest in TV production. Which program is the better...

    LMU MFA Fall 2017 (Acceptance, Rejection, Holleration, Etc.)

    In the spirit of last year's phone calls going on March 1st for LMU, I figured I'd establish the safe haven and anxiety riddled LMU-specific thread. Kick of your shoes, answer the poll, and make yourselves at home.

    CSUN and SFSU: Good Schools for Film Production?

    I have applied to NYU, LMU, CalArts, Syracuse and SCAD but because these universities are very expensive and I'll have to pay a big chunk of myself to afford the tuition, I am thinking of applying to relatively cheaper universities and I came through CSUN (California State University North...

    Undergraduate Film production NYU Tisch vs. LMU SFTV

    Hello! I was accepted to both Undergraduate Production programs at the LMU School of Film and Television and NYU Tisch. I’m from Germany and for me it is really hard to actually get a feeling for both universities, here oversee, and I can only rely on their homepages and different...

    Help me decide! LMU or CalArts (for Directing)?

    Hello everybody! I got accepted by LMU (TV&Film production) and CalArts (Directing) for Fall 2016. And I'm still wondering which one should I pick.

    LMU - Digital App Question

    I of course emailed the office, but I know quite a few of you have submitted your applications already so I figure I might get a quicker response here. How exactly are the recommendations submitted? The phrasing in the instructions is a bit confusing. Am I personally supposed to submit them or...

    LMU - GRE?

    I'm curious for those who are applying to LMU (or even better got in!) if you took the GRE and if you are submitting a score?

    Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could offer some insight into LMU's Production MFA compared to a program like USC? Are there any advantages that might make LMU more appealing than USC? I was accepted into LMU and USC (both for Production) and I was curious if it is worth entertaining the...
