    Interviewed NFTS MFA - Producing - 2027

    It took me around two weeks to put together my materials. I used the portfolio I created for another school and tweaked it according to the guidelines of NFTS. I also attended the online open day to understand what their program is like. Questions were designed to be quite specific and...

    NFTS - Which program to apply to?

    Hi everyone, I've been a director and DP for 6 years, based in Paris. My work is mostly cinematic, visually driven documentary — I'm usually both the director and the cinematographer. I have one fiction short I'm proud of, but that's it for fiction. My dilemma is which program to apply for...

    Preparation for a competitive MA/MFA Directing application (UK)

    I've been looking at both MA and MFA directing courses, with a particular focus on two: the NFTS Directing Fiction MA and the AFI Directing MFA and an aim to start in 2026 or 2027 - by then I'll be in my late 20s. As both courses are highly competitive, I'd really like my application to be as...

    Waiting list at NFTS

    I just received an email from NFTS saying that I’ve been placed on the waiting list. However, since I’m an international student planning to study in the UK this year, most masters start in September. If I decide to wait on the NFTS waiting list, I won’t have a backup option—I would have to...

    Admitted (After Interview) NFTS Directing Fiction MFA 2026

    I applied last year but unfortunately didn’t make it to the interview. I was planning to give up this year, but on the day before the deadline, I decided to apply and managed to prepare all the materials within a day. The overall application process was quite smooth — it only required answering...

    Interview Scheduled NFTS Screenwriting MA

    Was admitted but unfortunately they couldn't offer me funding and I was unable to accept. I'm likely going to apply again this year but I'm worried I will run into the same problem.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NFTS Directing Fiction

    First time applying. Not expecting to get in, using it more as a practice run for writing the application. Vaguely hoping to get an interview as a practice run for the next time I apply / for other schools in the future.

    Denied (w/o Interview) NFTS Cinematography MFA 2026

    This is my second application to the program, and I feel much more confident in the materials I submitted. It's interesting to compare my answers to last year's prompts to my new responses—it's a fun way to evaluate self-growth over the past year.

    Filip Sijanec, Composer and Professor at NFTS and the Royal College of Music, on the Power of Perseverance (Part 1)

    Filip Sijanec may have earned an Oscar nomination for scoring Detainment (2018), but he maintains an impressive air of humility, emphasizing the importance of lining up meaningful work.
