AMA: NYU Tisch BFA and USC SCA MFA (Film Production)

[jy417]

I got a BFA from NYU Tisch and MFA from USC SCA for film production. I was also in Chapman's MFA in directing for a semester. If you have any questions, let me know.

Why didn't you finish at Chapman? Did you not like the program?

Hi I’m currently trying to decide between an MFA at USC and the directing MFA at Chapman. Financially, USC is a much bigger risk but if there were no financials to worry about I’d probably choose USC. Since you have experience with both I was wondering if you had any advice for me?

I chose USC because of the bigger brand name. Chapman has funding for thesis film which is good and with good professors. I think they are not too different but USC's network is great.

I always like programs with better reputation and I like USC closer to Hollywood with more opportunities and Chapman is a bit far.
