AFI 2011

[phantomg6]

did anybody else *not* hear back today? i guess i shouldn't be holding my breath at this point, but it would be nice if they could stick to their own (late) deadline...

 

[HI FILM]

I think we who havent recieved an email yet, got rejected. Unfortunately.

I wouldn't lose hope just yet. I've read about some fellows who got accepted only a month or even a few days before class registration began. And if you don't get in, they seem to appreciate candidates who re-apply. The fact that you got an interview in the first place indicates that they see potential in you. Good luck!

I know someone connected with the school and they said that they have been reading our posts and that some were rejected because of what they wrote.

Remember guys, be nice to each other and ALWAYS support each other no matter what! You only have each other.

Noone in this threat talked to anyone in a mean way (just robert powell a bit) so you don't need to give advices. And it looks you give advices about being nice and you do sound a bit smart ass....

By the way, I sent you the link of my short film because you wanted to share materials.... and i never heard back from you, that's very kind and fair thing to do.

????? I'm sorry, but I don't believe I've spoken negatively about anyone remotely to even be mentioned in such a conversation... I've simply stated an obvious to anyone in film that there are bad film makers at any program, AFI is no different, just far more competitive, and it's not about taste or style, but that it's a fact that AFI was setup to be an incredibly harsh and competitive real world simulation with a safety net. This is one of the schools top selling points. When someones lack of talent shines through on a cycle or a thesis, it hurts EVERYONE because the school is based on collaboration with severely limited chances to prove yourself to your peers. I'm speaking on this purely on experience because I've worked on dozens of them, and seen several "fellows" have to pick up anothers slack, and their film was really hurt by it. It's certainly not a point I made to bad mouth anyone in this forum, I'm still not sure how that was even derived...but I didn't state anything with the belief I'm better or worse than anyone here even remotely, this is an ignorant thing to incite. I tried to make a point to whomever I was responding to that they shouldn't take a potential rejection from AFI personal. I also stated, and stand by, that this forum is not a good representation of AFI students BECAUSE of the fact that a lot of the discussion in this forum is based on completely baseless suspicions and facts, this conversation of which is a perfect example of. Yet the fact that I'm defending myself to nothing in particular is why I indeed hate most forums, With that said, I think I'm done here, but please, congrats to those who are coming, I so much look forward to working with you, and best of luck to everyone else.

Hello future AFI fellows!

I'm a production design fellow at AFI and I would just like to welcome those of you who are joining us.
It's an incredibly hard, but absolutely rewarding program. You will learn as much from the incredibly talented staff as from your peers.
It will be a tough first year, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
If there's anything I can do to help you along the way, don't hesitate to ask.
For those of you on the alternate list, don't despair. Last year, there were people who got accepted a day or two before registration.
It's also great to see some future design fellows on this forum.

I'm curious why did you guys choose AFI? Is it supposed to be a good film school? Is it better than USC or UCLA? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm very excited that I got my acceptance email to producing yesterday.
