    USC Film & TV Production or Chapman Film Production?

    I was accepted to both programs for B.F.A. Chapman gave me a half ride and USC gave me no money. I know the old adage of "in Hollywood, connections are everything," and it seems to me that USC has the best connections. But I feel like Chapman aligns more with my values. My biggest fear is making...

I'm definitely someone that values storytelling and writing more than access to great equipment (I know that, according to online...

I already have an undergrad degree from the UK in a different subject and I'm trying to decide on wether to get another Bachelor degree or a Masters. Both of the courses are very similar on...

    My fun 11th-hour discovery: you don't see the required essays for scholarships until you check that you're interested in financial aid. Silly me left checking that for last. Happy to report that my heart survived the packs of Red Bull I consumed in the last 24 hours to submit on time.
