CalArts - 2023 Fall

[Nathan]

Just got my interview notice!!!! And it's happening next week!! So hang in there if you haven't received any info. I almost lost my hope but just received the interview notification email.

Same here and got mine today and they scheduled my interview for tomorrow. Can anyone give me any tips on how their went and what they expect ??

 

[SansSoleil]

Yes! Its super chill. Basically why graduate school now and why the FILM/VIDEO program at CalArts. Then a specific comment about my portfolio why I chose the work that I selected for my portfolio. So make sure you know how to weave your pieces together. Then they asked if I had questions for them.
It was a really talkative vibe, just to get to know each other and connect. Good luck!!!

Did anyone get the offer of the film directing program? or is anyone at CalArts now? I wonder if this program will be more related to experimental works.

I did. And my friend is already in the program for 1 year now. I'd say the directing program does provide certain freedom but definitely with an overall emphasis on narrative works. The film/video program though, I believe, is more about experimental works. Anyway that's what I've heard. Hope that helps.

Hi, any accepted applicants for Fall 2023? I was admitted to FDP program and it's very likely to choose Calarts. (still waiting a few days more because there are 4 schools' final decisions on the way) Welcome to contact me if you are also planning to go to CalArts and if there are some online groups, lovely to be a part of them.
