AFI Directing 2022

[user1234]

I actually turned off all my Gmail notifications so that I wouldn’t be checking it every couple seconds tomorrow . Also, does anyone know the time they’ll send them out?

Shoot, that is a bummer, I am sorry. I think it's so unpredictable. I honestly did not think my interview went that well and I processed that I would not get in. Do they pull names from a hat or something?? There is always next year.

Waitlisted!

Congrats!

I got rejected too after a really good interview. I think that after the interview it needs to be a unanimous decision from the committee so even if it went well it’s still not a sign of anything I guess lol

I got in too! Congrats to everyone else who got in.

I got in too! Congrats to everyone else who got in.

Congrats!! I wonder how many are in the cohort

Rejected outright. Not really sure what else I could do seeing as I've made a feature and I thought my interview went well. Don't think I'll apply again next year because I was really proud of my application. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Accepted. I am in Shanghai, 1:21AM in the morning now.

By the way, I used to be a software engineer. I got a bachelor's degree in physics and a master's degree in computer science. Two years ago I decided to become a director and started my filmmaking career. So, don't lose hope, everything could happen.

Next step, LA.
