And to round off my finds... here's a film that was rejected to USC but accepted to Emerson:
I thought it was well shot and edited. I liked how he used the narration although there was probably too much of it and I wasn't a huge fan of the voice of the narrator.
The other two films that were accepted to USC that I found this morning (The Mark, and He Said, She Said) were much more traditional narrative films... one was more of a dramatic apocalyptic story and the other was more of a romantic comedy that each had a more traditional dramatic flow and weren't voice over driven.
Hopefully this helps people see what schools are looking for.
I should ask if he ended up going to Emerson. I know a lot of people who went there. It's a great school.
