    Denied (w/o Interview) UCLA MFA in Production/Direction - Narrative for Fall 2022

    The initial application process was rough for me personally due to a sudden loss in my family, but putting together the creative materials was actually a nice distraction in the midst of everything. Crossing my fingers they like what I submitted!
