    USC MFA writing sample

    Okay, pretty basic scenario: You get 10 pages of your own writing to submit for USC. Option A) 10 pages from a feature length script. Option B) a complete 10 page short script. Assume they are both equal quality. Which do you submit, and why?

    Hello everyone, I know some might frown on online programs but for right now it is my best option. It is really expensive for me to move right now.

    Production Design MFA

    I know there are very few universities that have that program, is there anyone who is currently majoring in Production design? Do you guys think it's a perspective program, or you don't really need a MFA degree to get into the art department? Also, do AFI and Chapman help you with internships or...

    MFA screenwring: What are they looking for?

    Hi all, Wondering if MFA screenwriting programs are looking for students that already know the basics, or even advanced elements, of story structure? I get the feeling that they might not even care about it, and instead prefer a "blank slate" of a student who they can then indoctrinate into...
