I try not to worry too much about meeting the word count, I think it's pointless to add unnecessary information just to try and hit it. Some of my answers have hit the maximum but others are 50 or so words under.
Hi! The interview was primarily focused on the screenplay I had submitted: they had clearly read it in-depth and had a lot of interesting and challenging questions for me asking why I'd made some choices and not others, what my intent was behind X and Y, etc. There was additionally a pre-interview test where I had to write a new one-page treatment in 30 minutes based on a choice of some images they sent me for inspiration, and then I pitched that in the interview. I was sent some nice feedback with the rejection, but nothing specific or focused, just a polite encouragement to keep writing.
Thank you, this really put me at ease!
Oh damn, when do you need to let LFS know?
This Monday!
I can still accept my offer after that but I'll be put on a waiting list instead of being guaranteed a place and I'm not sure what my odds of getting in would be in that case
Looking at last years stats (Waves at Chris W, kudos mister!) interview invites went out June 28th, rejections went out July 4th, and interviews happened on July 13th. Cant see any accepted dates. Get comfy, it's gonna be a long ride. And no telling if it'll be the same. The page count for them to read is less this year - 20 pages reduced to 12 so things might happen sooner. Who knows.
