Applied for Cinematography, have yet to hear a response (though it's only 10 days after submissions were due, so not surprising)

Good luck! Log your application when you have a moment so we can improve the data we have for everyone on NFTS.

From past cinematography threads it looks like you'll hear back towards the end of June.

I applied for the Cinematography MFA back in April, and I just received an interview invitation today. It's my first time applying so I'm really excited, but definitely nervous too.

I haven’t been able to find much about the Cinematography interview specifically, so if anyone has been through it before and has any general advice on what to expect, I’d really appreciate it.

Good luck to everyone else applying as well!

Check the old cinematography threads above in the first post if you haven't yet. Congrats!

Hi all! I’ve been looking around for groups to connect with incoming 2027 students and came across this thread. I’m an international student from the US attending the NFTS for screenwriting starting January! If anyone (from any disciplines) has any advice, especially for housing, I’d love to connect.
