Nothing is going on with the admission. I mean it is almost July now.

Yeah. Sucks.

Anyone gone through this with Columbia last year?

 

[aNDy2011]

I called last week and guess what? No movement.

 

[Procallout]

You mean no movement for you right? Or did they actually tell you there was no movement on the WL (due to the fact they've lost said wait list )?

 

[aNDy2011]

WL lost? No Wonder!

It's August 1st, which means classes start in about a month. Has anyone gotten into Columbia off the wait list for directing or screenwriting? I still haven't heard anything...bleh.

 

[aNDy2011]

I am waiting and hoping as well.

Hello fellow waitlisters, I just received the call from Professor Mendelsohn. And I was on the "High Waitlist" - screenwriting concentrate. So keep those chins up and phones close.

Thanks for the congrats, cineaste504 and aNDy2011.

And to answer your question aNDy2011, I most certainly did.

Thanks for your response. Do you know when is the orientation?

 

[baking something]

So far I know that the general orientation for Columbia is September 1st. But I just got wind that there is a separate, probably additional, film program orientation commencing August 29th. Too soon for my liking. I'm struggling to figure out my living situation in such short notice, let alone securing loans to make this all possible.

It's such a strange feeling being in the throes of a dream.

 

[aNDy2011]

I understand your situation totally. In fact, I was worried about it naively Good Luck

it's not lost!!!

Student Films Welcome!

FILM FESTIVAL OFFERS FILM STUDENTS A CHANCE TO MENTOR WITH AWARD WINNING DIRECTORS

Best Student Film Award offers students a mentorship with ICS founders
Los Angeles, CA -August 2, 2011-In an effort to create more opportunities for student filmmakers, the Best Student Film category has been added to Indie Cinema Series. The student film that takes home the Best Student Film Award will have the opportunity to mentor with one of the three production companies heading the event.
"The Indie Cinema Series basically takes the principles of a regular film festival and combines them with meaningful notes from well known actors, directors, producers, and screenwriters, who serve on the guest panel. As filmmakers, we submit to many film festivals, yet are never given notes on our work. ICS provides filmmakers with an opportunity to learn what works and what doesn't in their projects. By creating an environment where filmmakers can grow their craft, we encourage a community of elevated art through film."-Marisilda Garcia
