Hello all!

My name is Shaun, I'm 26 years old and located in sunny California. I moved out here during the pandemic and have been trying to get my footing in film production. It's led me to get some production assistant jobs here and there but I'm ready to branch out. I graduated from college with my BFA in theater and creative writing but I've always had a love for directing. However, due to being busy with other things I never got a chance to do it. I decided to finally put everything else on pause and pursue directing and I'm really excited! I've applied to USC, UCLA, and NYU for Fall 2024. Hopefully, I'll be seeing some of you guys there! Good luck to those who are also applying and if anyone has any scholarship tips I would be grateful.
