    Admitted After Interview AFI - Cinematography 2019

    First time applying to AFI or any graduate program. My interview seems to have been late in the process based on other members of this site. I tracked the views on the videos I submitted, and it looks like they watched them on 01/22 once, and then not again until the day of my interview. I...

    COLUMBIA VS NYU TISCH

    Hey all, I'm in the ridiculously fortunate position of having been selected by both Tisch and Columbia. I don't know which one to pick. Columbia's emphasis on storytelling and writing is a big plus for me, and I just cannot gage how much writing is done at Tisch... I see myself as a...

    UCLA vs AFI for DIRECTING

    Hi guys, I would really love some insight and thoughts from you all about this decision. I applied to both AFI & UCLA MFA directing programs hoping that I would get into one, but never imagining I could have gotten into both. I though that if I got into one, that would be the one I'd go to...

    LMU - comparable to UCLA for screenwriting?

    Hi everyone. My main question is in the title, specifically, is the collaboration and internship opportunities / acceptance rates at competitive shows/studios comparable to a more renowned school like UCLA? Or even AFI? I have had interviews with these three schools and LMU has already given...
