FSU Motion Picture Arts Writing MFA Fall 2023

[notaprincess]

Hey all! Did anyone else apply to FSU's College of Motion Picture Arts for Writing or maybe another discipline? The deadline is tomorrow! I applied for the first time and am pretty excited about it because I already live in Florida.

Would love to chat with other applicants if you're out there!

Hello, I applied to the writing concentration. I found it frustrating compared to other schools. I didn't love the five-page maximum for the creative sample. I'm also a Florida resident. My top choices are UT Austin or AFI.

Yeah, I think the in-state tuition would be a major perk but I agree, it was difficult to find the "perfect" five pages. I took five pages from my feature script and just went for it. We'll see!!

If it goes by last year's applications, we should find out about interviews in a month. That's much sooner than most of the schools I'm applying to. The wait is killing me! @catmom I love the lost in translation profile pic by the way. Sofia Coppola is one of my favorite filmmakers.

Yup, me too! It should be the earliest notification! I've read up on the interview process on this site and it seems very long, but it also seems like some Florida residents have done the interview in person? I'm curious to see how that will work. In person seems a little intimidating but also cool because you get to meet other prospective students and see the school. We shall see!

Honestly, it's the group interview that sounds the most intimidating to me.
