AFI 2014

[BkBred]

Robert Mandel and Gill Dennis They were really great and the interview was very easy going. we talked about the oscars too!

Sweet! We bonded over a dislike of Spike Lee's remake of OldBoy. They're definitely super cool. Hope we'll be hearing some good new soon.

I too received the financial aid letter, but no interview invitation. Does anyone know if the screenwriting interviews have been decided?

Does anyone know if they notify all students of acceptance or rejection, or just those who are accepted and/or interviewed?

Congrats to those who have been accepted, btw.

Hey, I contacted the Admission's Office earlier this week and they told me that only those who applied before December 1st were gonna be notified today ( at least Cinematographers). As I applied on the third week of January I should have an answer by April 14.

 

[Ilovefilms]

any directors get accepted yet?

 

[Dreamashlee]

Hey guys ... I just got accepted for cinematography yesterday ... But also got A waiting list from USC for fall but a definite on spring...what should I do ... I mean after all I want to be both director and dop plz help :b

 

[Helen Forsdale]

Dreamashlee Hey there, can I ask if you interviewed?

But congrats, you have a pretty awesome decision to make, but they're two very different schools / programs.

USC is more of a broad program, where if you want to direct AND dp, you can do that there. You don't need a background in film to attend USC. You'll learn everything from the ground up.

AFI is more focused, and you'll only be able to DP while there. You also need a film background to attend...they don't let anyone in who doesn't have any film experience (undergrad, professional) - so think of it more as a finishing school.

So yeah, it all depends on you and what you want to do - best of luck!

filmluv - I called as well and had the same answer, although they didn't tell me about the April 14th deadline...so thanks for that!

I totally agree with that... also... AFI as he said is hyper focused! You don;t get to really do anything else excet your focus. Also if you don't feel comfortable with being on production AFI is going to be really difficult cause from what I hear they throw you in.

 

[Dreamashlee]

Thank you for your advise... I did 2 interviews afi and usc but not calart in which I got accepted stright away and also the sound of silence from NYU ... Do any of you guys know USC exact tuition fee I'm confuse whether it's 84,000 per year or 3 years in total?

I´m sorry the April 14 notification is only meant for me. As I understand it you get notified 3 months after you submitted your application.

Any other editors hear back? I had my interview mid February but haven't heard anything from them since. The anticipation is killing me!
