Hi Insearchof_
I applied to the producing

 

[AmiraAlexandria]

I applied to the screenwriting discipline.

 

[KrisKelvin]

Screenwriting

 

[why cinema]

directing for the 2. time

 

[ColoradoGuy]

Applied for directing. I'm an undergrad. Probably makes my acceptance chance less than 1%. Bring it.

 

[One_Girl_Revolution]

Directing and Cinematography. I am glad I chose cinematography. Too many people want to be directors.
AFI has selected undergrads from my Multimedia program before. I know it's more rigorous and stressful than studying at a university. They will expect a lot from a student in the beginning.

Does that mean, if I apply to AFI I have the opportunity to have my interview in NYC instead of LA?

 

[apple]

I think so.

 

[Jerry Bruckheimer Fan]

Apple, I got that same email. I haven't received any phone calls inviting me for an interview (yet, I hope). Did anyone else get this email, yet have not been contacted for an interview?
