I just had an interview for FDP. They were so sweet and nice and the interview went smoothly I guess... They said the decision will be out in a couple of weeks!

I just finish my MFA film directing interview, they are so gentle and kind. They asked some questions about my PS and portfolio, but I think I answered it wrong due to my poor English, I realized in hindsight that I had misheard the question.
I also take interview from AFI directing, LMU and SVA, honestly I think calarts show the most respect among all school.
Hope I will get some good news soon.
