It was a lot of work because it made me truly think extensively about my reasons for pursuing filmmaking and evaluate my personal growth in the last couple of years that’s led me to this point.
Hi everyone, it's me again!
I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some feedback on my personal statement? I am currently on draft 3 after some previous feedback, and I think concept/structure wise it might be solid enough for me to now start cutting words down/cleaning it up. I was...
Hi everyone!
I'm applying to USC for a film and television production MFA, and I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some feedback on my personal statement? I'm trying to find a central story to pull from my current draft so I can show and not tell more, but I'm having some trouble.
Hi everyone!
I'm applying to USC for a film and television production MFA, and I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some feedback on my personal statement? I'm a bit nervous because while it is really authentic, I'm afraid I may be pushing it to far. I'd really appreciate some...
We ended up conversing for almost 40 minutes and I really thought we would only get to talk 30 minutes max. I think I'll just put a summary of what happened in the interview and my insights on it so that maybe it might help someone out here.
It's very interesting how our conversation went...
Hi All!
First time poster, here!
I'm in the process of applying to Chapman's Television Writing and Producing program, but I'm stuck on the writing prompt "In no more than two (2) pages. Describe a television episode about your family. Is it a comedy or a drama? Who is the main character and...
I saw an outdated post from 2009 about whether or not it's beneficial to get a JD and MFA in Film & Television production. Everyone was saying you should choose either one or the other, and I can't help but disagree. There are many competent producers with a JD and one might argue, they may have...

What's good everyone, I'm Deondra Edwards from St. Louis, MO. I'll be graduating this May from Virginia State University and I was recently denied acceptance drom USC Television and Production program. I wanted to know from the people who applied there and was denied the first time but was...
A few weeks ago, I was accepted into USC for the Critical Studies MA. Just this week, I learned I also got in for the Film/TV Production MFA.
It seems I've come to a point where I'm torn between both programs, as I really enjoy and have a background in the critical side to film (theory, history...
Hi there,
Quick question. Any of you guys know the course structure of USC and NYU's MFA programs? I was looking up online. So far I gather that NYU works on five films during the program. What about USC? Will there be mandatory placements during the programs in both schools? I am hoping to do...
Hello everyone!
I'm new to posting in the forums, but have been dabbling in it for a while doing grad school research. Since there's no thread for those applying for the Spring 2014 USC's MFA Film & TV Production program, we might as well start the conversation!
