The AFI Conservatory is designed for those who want to advance their craft in a specific discipline. Most applicants are committed to only one discipline, but yes, you may apply to more than one area of interest. You must submit a separate application (including a discipline-specific narrative statement, submission materials and application fee) for each discipline to which you wish to apply. Due to the collaborative nature of the program, successful applicants will be accepted into only one discipline. It is suggested you do not apply for more than three disciplines in the same academic year.

Why did you guys apply to both Screenwriting and directing? Not sure yet which path you want to take?Anyone heard anything from this program yet

Also I always assumed that these two fields overlap often down the road.Why did you guys apply to both Screenwriting and directing? Not sure yet which path you want to take?

Yes I believe so. I'd can them for sure and report back just in case.Question about the 'Ten-Sixty' video assignment
'10 images' means 10 pictures not 10 video clips right?
Hey - has anyone here had luck with receiving scholarships from AFI for the first year?
They sent me an email about a week ago to let me know I received a small scholarship!
Congrats! Is it like... super small? I'm not sure if I should be holding my breath for something that will really make a dent in my funding or not.
