Yeah I got all of that about a month ago, but I had another look at the website and some courses were still accepting applications until the 5th of June which would mean an even longer wait....

I doubt that means that they've postponed the interviews though(?) In the automated reply it states roughly when interviews are taking place for each course, and that you can expect up to two weeks' notice, so that should give you a rough indication as to when you can expect to hear.

I think interviews start on the 30th June, so they may well start sending out invitations next week. Fingers crossed anyway!

 

[kbills]

Hi, thanks for the update - good luck!

I got my 'application being processed, send reference letters' emails only on June 4 (screenwriting) and June 12 (directing fiction). I think there's time to wait before interview invites for either of those courses if they only got round to processing my applications a few days ago. Far fewer people apply to all the other courses, so I don't think DF or screenwriting applicants should worry yet.

FYI I checked my emails from last year and I only got the DF rejection on July 18.

You too!

Hey,
little update from my POV.

(MADF) (3rd year of application )

I recieved application processing email fairly instantly.
Was asked to supply reference letters soon after. (My referees were a little slow sadly. That got sorted last week. Now waiting on a reply)

N.B. Last year I recieved my rejection as late as July 19th too. So my hopes are not high for a quick response nor a good one. However you can't win if you don't play.

...don't get worried about late replys it seems to always be the case for DF. For me atleast anyway.

 

[George Tsirogiannis]

Hey Alwayslost, are you me? hah. Same story here regarding this year's application, except I'm applying for the first time.

I'd like to ask you guys about something that worries me a little bit. If someone is accepted in the DF course, is there really an introductory workshop on August? If yes, is the attendance obligatory? I'm asking because I currently live in Greece, so I'm concerned about the time I'll have to prepare, move to the UK etc. if I get an acceptance message near the end of July.

I already suppose that if I'm selected for an interview, I can do this via Skype, right?

 

[Jonathan Flint]

Latest regarding Cinematography interviews - they've been pushed back to w/b 7th July.

The result of a cheeky phone call earlier today! Yeah I imagine we may be waiting until next week now unfortunately.

Hi George, not sure about the Skype interview, im pretty sure it seems perfectly plausible they would! As for workshops, when I went to the open day back in March, they had mentioned there are some workshops but they are not mandatory to attend if you get accepted on the course, as far as I can remember. I think you should be alright. I just saw your film trailer for "on hold" it looks pretty interesting I'm waiting to hear back for DF too, my first year applying. Good luck!

Has anybody heard anything yet regarding Screenwriting? Wondering if those interviews have been delayed to...

 

[CadillacRanch]

Nope, still waiting.

I just went on the website and where it usually has the deadline date it now says:
The application deadline has now passed, however there may still be a chance to apply. Please contact registry via email stating your name, course of interest and contact details: info@nfts.co.uk

So interviews could quite possibly be delayed. Let's just hope that there are less people applying this year so we have better odds

Thanks! Good luck to you too

Hey I got an invitation for interview over Skype (since I am from Macedonia) and I am doing it on Tueseday. I applied for MA Sound design

 

[Jaime Blanco]

Congrats Sashko! I had my interview last Wednesday for MA Editing. Just relax and be yourself and you'll do great!

Thanks Jamie.
What are they asking on the interview? General questions about myself, my plans, my ambitions, or some knowledge questions about the selected course? Or maybe questions about the supporting materials?

Tnx
Sashko

 

[Jaime Blanco]

I would imagine that they would ask different questions depending on what course you are applying to but they asked me very general questions. Who are my inspirations, why do I want to to NFTS, and if I wasn't accepted what would I do? Very, very basic stuff.

Anyone heard about DF yet?
