Congratulations Robert and Warren,

I am an international student from India accepted for the Stark program as well.

Don't worry Robert you aren't the only one. I haven't received any confirmation by mail from Graduate admission either. In fact I dont think they have reached a decision for me since the status hasn't changed from 'forwarded to the academic department'. What does your status say ? I mailed them (pstark) yesterday to confirm my postal address (since I was all paranoid) and they replied saying that the email they sent is pretty much what comes in the postal hard copy.

Also I heard from another topic that the coming week shall be spring break, so i guess we will have to wait a little longer to hear from the graduate admissions office.

Fingers crossed. XX
 
Thanks, Warren and Jazz, for your information!

August is just 5 months away. Can't wait to meet you in class now!

Good luck to all others!
 
Warren -

What did you have for previous experience? I got rejected from Stark this year, and am looking to make my app stronger for next year.


RKW -

Same question for you... what is your previous experience in film? or work?



Jazz -

Same questions...
 
Hey Warren I just took a look at some of your work. I'm impressed. How long have you been at it? (the web series that is) :)

I graduated with a degree in Mathematics. However I transitioned to media and have been working in a production company doing non-fiction shows for Indian Television for the past couple of years. One of the shows: http://starvoiceofindia.indya.com/
 
Hello,

I got an email last night accepting me to the UCLA PP. Still no word from AFI post-interview but UCLA was my first choice...Just a heads up to you UCLAers.
 
Waitlisted for fall '09 and accepted for spring '10. I might just take spring '10 regardless if I get bumped up. I could use the extra time to prepare for the move and get myself situated out there.

Well, LA Filmmaker it seems I am the one still in college... Will grauduate this summer in Beijing with a marketing BBA and a film production BA. I've been working on student films all the time since very young and produced/directed/wrote several projects. Had some internship experience with China Film Group in mainstream productions.

Hey, Warren and Jazz, your works are impressive!
Here's one trailer link where you can take a look at one of my projects last summer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvRzwoDWmqc
 
Hello Warren/Jazz/Veron,

I just found this site 20 minutes ago. I wanted to contact the people on this board who are entering into the Stark Program next fall.

I recently committed to the Stark Program and will be joining you guys in the fall. I figured we could get in contact before USC formally introduces us. I look forward to spending the next two years of my life sharing my ideas and learning with and from you guys. Best wishes.

Dave
 
@ Tom : I hope you get in Fall so that we meet sooner :)

@ cabezon : I haven't heard anything from Chapman yet. I guess we should hear in another few weeks. To be honest Chapman was my back up and since i have been accepted at USC I am a little less worried. But I 'll let you know when i hear from them. Have you heard from other schools you have applied to ?

@ Robert : Thanks Robert.. and RW Productions.. very impressive yourself, I must say.

@ Dave : Pretty exciting this board is, isn't it ? I found it just after learning I was accepted. Its great getting in touch with fellow applicants / soon to be classmates. Hoping to hear from you soon :)

Hi everyone!

So recap... Jazz, Dave14, RKW, LWarrenT, joenyc, Veru, Lf47 and Turu.. we've been accepted into Stark! And I miss someone, I'm sure”¦

Some questions: Have you confirmed?? Has someone applied to UCLA PP? What do you do if you have to choose between them? (No, it's not my case”¦ but could be)

However, I'm really excited! I spend hours looking for housing in LA! But more important is talking about producing! Your works are really interesting! I do not have any online, meanwhile here is the web of my work: www.antena3.com

See you soon!

Turu

Hello Turu! My name is Dani and I am also for Madrid! I have been accepted into the Producing program at AFI. When are you moving to LA? How is the house searching going? I haven't started looking yet.

Anyway, keep in touch!
 
Hey guys! I had a call from a producing professor at Chapman yesterday. She said she just wanted to get a feel for what I was like in person...so I kind of phone interview I guess...but it wasn't really scheduled at all, very informal. Anyway, she said decisions should be made very soon, within the next couple of weeks! EEK!
 
Hey Kalie good luck! Did you receive an email too?

I received an email Sunday night requesting an interview. I'm supposed to do a phone interview, I think lol. They interviewed me last year in person and I was waitlisted.

Maybe I'll get a call this week.
