Hey all, First time poster, long time lurker here. I was lucky enough to be admitted to FSU's digital arts program and NYU's film program for this fall term and have a bit of a decision to make before next Friday (FSU's deadline to accept). I'm not going to ask you guys to tell me where to go...

Hey guys! I saw that there was a really nice USC Film and TV Production graduate forum going on and figured us undergrad applicants could really use one too! We could also make our own undergrad tracking sheet (if there isn't one already). So let's go! I have some questions about interviews and...

I have applied to NYU, LMU, CalArts, Syracuse and SCAD but because these universities are very expensive and I'll have to pay a big chunk of myself to afford the tuition, I am thinking of applying to relatively cheaper universities and I came through CSUN (California State University North...

Hello everyone! So... Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg vs Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography. I'm looking to apply to one of these film schools but I can't choose, If you have any information or any experience I'd much appreciate it if you'd help me. For example how much is the cost of using...

My daughter is accepted in both Film programs, now she has to choose: Does anyone go to either of these programs? Any alums here? Savannah College of Art and Design and University of N Carolina School of the Arts We found the SCAD campus tour to be excellent, the facilities look amazing...

Wondering if anyone can give any pointers on whether there are any advantages or disadvantages to choosing one or the other when it comes down to submitting the visual sample (applying to undergrad btw). I'm assuming that in the majority of applications they receive they'll get videos. I've...

I just read the Hollywood Reporter article "Top 25 Film Schools" and saw this little guy peaking his head up from the bottom of the list. I mean, that's a pretty heavy hitting list. Anyone know any more about this school? Anyone go there and have some advice for me? Thanks
