AFI - ADVICE for the Interview Please!

[Leah Cameron]

Hello,

Calling all current AFI students: I'm wondering if I can pick your brains about this upcoming interview.

I've applied for Screenwriting and interview in NYC at the end of the month. I'm wondering what type of questions they ask!

Warm regards,

CL

Maxence & Filmgirl,

Do you have any links to your work?

I am an alternate candidate for the cinematography program at AFI for Fall 08'. at least it was not the rejection letter i recieved.... the letter said that the people who did get accepted have a month to send in their deposits. so I am on the bench. Yet I have already sent in my 1000 to Chapman.
Film School, I look forward to it so much....
Yet time is moving.... Gota work. getting stale...
Its like going all in with all your chips, hopping to hit the winning card on the river.

There is life outside of AFI.....

Good luck fellas ...

Peace

Hi bandar,
I didn't put any of my films online...So I can't show you anything, do you have a link to your work though?

 

[PeterYao]

it's all good man Anton4Cine...it's not like Chapman is a bad school, who knows maybe you'll find your career partners at Chapman...that's all it comes down to...looking for someone to work with for the long haul, short term really means nothing

good luck on your career man~ why the long face? you got in!!

 

[Anton4Cine]

Its all good PeterYao . .. . . its 50% you and 50% the school that makes you, maybee even YOU more than the school. I am happy to be moving to Cali either way dont get me wrong. I know what I want and I will waste no time with yesterday's newspaper. I am moving on babe .... its a thrill ....

Is it safe to assume that since I wasn't contacted for an interview, I won't be getting in to AFI?

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

yes/thief,

I would assume so. They have finished interviewing everyone. Decisions for Directing and Production Design will be announced next week.

Best of luck,

Bandar

Hello,

I had no idea this website/forum existed!

I interviewed with AFI in NYC on March 3rd for the Directing discipline.

I'm having trouble sleeping.

I wish I had some information to share.

Oh, here is a link to my most recent film:

www.thenightingaleprincess.com

Good luck to everyone. From what I've read here y'all seem wonderful and helpful.

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

Cool teaser Chris. Best of luck!

 

[PeterYao]

Anton4Cine man, have fun in cali shooting lots of films!

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

I just got the call from AFI, I've been accepted into their Directing program!

wow...

 

[chewbacca]

Congrats, Bandar.

Have you decided what program you want to attend?

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

Unless I get a full ride to NYU I highly doubt I will be going there now that I've been accepted into AFI...

 

[Maseiya]

CONGRATULATIONS, BANDAR!!! You rock my socks. =D

 

[chewbacca]

Perhaps I'll see you in the fall, then.

I read sections of AFI's production handbook on their website yesterday and it sounds really intense, structured in every detail. It's also really exciting, though. Can't wait to start.

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

Chewbaca,

You were accepted into the Directing as well?

 

[chewbacca]

No, editing.

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

Hopefully I will see you come this Fall!

 

[chewbacca]

How long have you been living in LA?

I'm trying to to figure out where to live, etc. and could use some advice.

 

[Christopher Dreisbach]

I also just got the call for Directing today. Good luck to everyone!
