Hi, I'm Lindsay and I am currently in my first year of graduate school in the MFA film program at Ohio University. I wanted to start this thread for those of you that are interested in applying to a graduate film program, but have a degree in something other than film or film studies. I personally have a degree in Biological Sciences and I got into a couple of programs!
If you are like me, with little camera experience, you may be really nervous about going to a school that assumes you know everything there is to know about cameras. But just in the first two months at OU I have already written, directed, and produced a short film, worked as an Assistant Director on another, and will be Director of Photography tomorrow for another shoot. I went from no experience to DP in two months and I can say I feel totally prepared to do it! OU is very hands on and with small class sizes our professors have prepared all of us.
I am not an official representative or faculty member, but I can offer a student perspective into the program. If anyone has questions about the application process, I would love to help. That process is still fresh on my mind and I remember being in that vulnerable position.
