AFI App for Fall 2009

[Filipe]

Someone mentioned about the option of phone interviews. I was wondering if that's an option for foreign students or if in case of an interview I'd have to fly over. (I'm from Brazil).
Cheers!

They may offer a phone interview, but I don't think any of us had the guts to request one!!

I haven't heard anything but an application confirmation letter either....

I applied to the AFI as well and all I have received is an email confirming that they have my application and a receipt for my application. Hope to hear back soon...

Hi everyone. I'm also in the AFI application boat. Best of luck to all of you guys!

I'm a Directing fellow at AFI and I spoke with Angela in admissions yesterday.

You guys should be finding out about interviews next week (that is when they will begin notifyiing people).

Best of luck!

Bandar,

Do you think that applies for all discipines? Screenwriting?

Was just reading through old threads of yours on interview advice

 

[Bandar Albuliwi]

Yeah, everybody will be notified next week, if not by the end of this week.

g'uck!

Hi guys --

I've also applied to the AFI directing program for 09. And like the others, the only thing I've heard from them is the confirmation email on receiving my application. I'm really nervous/excited to hear if I get an interview. Best of luck to you all!

I just got a call and have an interview in NYC on March 6th!!!!

 

[Race_Bannon]

Congrats mkench! What else did they say? Is this your first time applying? Give us the low-down

 

[mkench]

They just called and asked how I was. When I said great she said that I'm going to be a lot greater cause I've been selected for an interview. Then she told me the interview would be in NYC and that was pretty much that. I was actually in the middle of reading some older posts about the interviews when she called -- strange.

This is my first time applying. I also applied to NYU and Columbia, but AFI is my first choice.

 

[J.M.]

Congrats! I'm jealous!

 

[wyeth1913]

Congrats mkench! What discipine are you?

 

[Justin18]

Just got a call for an AFI screenwriting interview! Don't want to get too excited though - just an interview

Good luck to everyone, I'm sure they've still got a lot of calls to make!

Hey all,
I've been lurking for awhile but decided to give in to the temptation and post. I applied to the AFI Editing discipline... on their website it has said for a few weeks now that the deadline for editing, producing, and production design has been extended... do you think this means that they are still accepting applications as of today, meaning that those of us who applied to one of those three will not hear back for awhile longer?
I could call and ask of course... but it's not a big deal, I'm just very curious

 

[Jayimess]

Congrats to everyone.

Tabby, my (now) roommate attends as an editor and was interviewed/offered admission and had accepted before they changed the website extension banners...don't fret about that delaying your acceptance!

 

[tabbycat]

haha.. oh, good to know. Thanks!

I will hang out by my phone then..

 

[SimAlex]

I will hang out by my phone then..

That's what I'm doing as well, fully aware that (at least in my case) rejection awaits.
