NYU - Tisch Grad Film Interviews (1 Viewer)

[h.cal]

Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows when NYU tells the Grad Film applicants whether or not they have got in. I think they interview in February so i guess we have to hear this month?

[EDIT - Tweaked topic title for relevance]

Film or investments? Wow. Well, I really hope they accept you in that case. What's the story behind that?

If I don't get into Singapore this year I'll be applying to NYU again. Trying to get my friends here together for another little production so I can have a stronger portfolio next time around. I think next year I'll apply to other schools as well.

does anyone actually have anything they put in their portfolio up on the net? i'd be interested in seeing what kind of work everyone else is doing

 

[Jerry Prokosch]

I don't have anything posted. My portfolio included one ten-minute, silent, narrative, 16mm film -- my first short film, actually, though not the first film I worked on. It has tons of flaws and is quite clearly amateur work.

hahhahahh, I guess I'm one of those practical creative types... lol, how do you explain that...??


Anyways, my undergraduate degree was in Business Management.. I majored in Marketing and Law. To be honest I've very little experience in film... my background is actually in theatre I've done alot of acting and singing but the arts have always been in my blood stage/music/film and NYU just felt like a natural next step especially when it's right at my back door how can I not take advantage of it.

Unfortunately I've no portfolio to show of unless you're interested in my theatre and music works. I submitted photographs for my application and they were pictures I took randomly from my holidays. I am nervous other applicants are so accomplished already and my background is kinda different I'm a clean slate at this (which I'm very excited about)

Hey Warren, I checked out your website but everytime I try to load the film my Firefox kept having to shut down.

but yeah I'd love to see your works if any!!!


cheers!

Hey RyuPhynix,

Not sure what the problem is. I just tried it in firefox in my computer and the films load OK. Are you using a PC or a Mac? Also, do you have Windows Media Player 9 or higher installed? If so it should work OK. Or you could try another browser. Let me know if it works out.

 

[RyuPhynix]

hey!!! it's my internet connection problem! i can view them now... working perfectly!

Hiya,

I've been reading these forums for the past few months and couldn't resist signing up. I also applied to NYU's grad film program and was invited to interview this past Feb.(only school). However, I've been waitlisted and have opted to be placed on the waiting list for both NYU's campus as well as Singapore's campus. In a way it's like applying to two schools for the price of one. If I don't get in, I'll still make films and reapply this year for next year. As I end my rant, I'd like to say it's so awesome to read about how supportive and informative everyone is on this site inn regard to filmmaking and film schools. This kind of spirit and ethusiasm for the art and craft is wonderful. Keep up the good work and good luck for those waiting for an answer or have been admitted into their repsective film programs.

Hey L4, congrats on getting this far. A couple questions for you:

How were you notified, letter, email?

And were you given the chance to be waitlisted for just NY or just Singapore or both?

 

[L4]

Warren, thanks a bunch. The same goes out to you. To answer your questions, I was notified by email and I was given the option to be placed on the waitlist for NYU, Singapore, or both. I opted to be placed on both waiting lists. At this time, I've yet to get a response.

 

[Warren Tessler]

Just got the call from John Tintori at NYU--I'm in at Singapore! Wow! I'm so pleased. He told me their finished with their initial decisions and people who got in are being notified by phone and everyone will receive something in the mail next week.

 

[bilalka]

wow, congrats!

 

[RyuPhynix]

OK! I'm ultra nervous... got mail from John Tintori asking me to call him...

hope its gd news...

nerves so wrecked now!!!!

 

[RyuPhynix]

Oh i forgot!!!!


CONGRATS WARREN!!!

 

[Warren Tessler]

Thanks RyuPhynix. I'm hoping that if you got an email asking to call him, it's good news!

 

[RyuPhynix]

i swear i'm totally spazing out... can't call till 12 hours from now coz of time difference...
it's going to be a loooooooong day!!


so you coming to Singapore?

 

[RyuPhynix]

[Jerry Prokosch]

Congrats, that's great. Since I haven't heard, I'm assuming I didn't make it. Oh well. Best to you guys.

 

[Warren Tessler]

RyuPhynix, congrats!

hi everyone...my friend just told me about this post..pity i didnt know about it earlier... its really quite informative...im spazzing too!!!but hope for the best....i got my notification by mail that i'm in singapore on the 7th of april since i asked for early notification (as im applying for external funding which required an answer by 10 april)....but i just yesterday recived an email from john tintori asking to call him....so am a bit confused...since im quite the spazzing paranoid neurotic..im really wondering....it cant be to withdraw the offer can it? they cant do that right..then why does he want me to call..... i mean why would he want me to call him...any ideas anyone...warren and ryu u guys got in congratss.... im in too unless...this is driving me insane

 

[Warren Tessler]

Shivani, I believe the calls he was making were as a personal courtesy for everyone NYU is initially inviting into the program. He said that everyone, whether they got in or not, will get an official letter next week. He was probably just going down the list, emailing and calling everyone who got in and didn't notice that you had already been notified. I wouldn't worry about it, that is at least until you call him back and speak to him.
