I help people navigate the film school application process. Whether you’re just starting or refining your materials, I can guide you in creating a strong, standout application. I've helped applicants get into top programs, even without a film background.

Admissions want to see that you can tell engaging stories, both in your work and your application. Everything should align—your statement, scripts, films, grades, and references.

I was accepted to AFI and Columbia by focusing on my strengths and improving weaker areas. I know what top programs look for and can help you stand out.

I hear you — it can definitely feel overwhelming at first blush. I just sent you a direct message here on FilmSchool.org; hopefully, it came through!

I'm happy to help demystify it all and see if we can find a way to work together.

Hey all! Just wanted to talk a little bit about how Zeno helped me improve my storytelling skills in a way I didn't even imagine it was possible! From the first conversations, he showed me different aspects of my work that could improve and how we would do this together. I had already applied to NYU in 2022 on my own and didn't get in; Zeno approached my old application and helped me understand some sides of it that were probably the reason why I didn't get accepted in first place. For the 2025 cycle (Fall transfer), we came up with a well-rounded, strong and authentic application. Every essay reflected more and more of my personality and the way Zeno encouraged me to look for stories was profoundly inspiring. His feedbacks were always direct and precise. He is the best cheerleader you are ever going to have -- but he also knows how to approach you and be honest when he feels you are repeating mistakes. In the end, I got into NYU, my dream school, and I also got an interview at USC -- the two most competitive film schools for undergraduates. I am beyond grateful for all his support and encouragement. You won't regret hiring Zeno's services! If anyone is interested in getting to know more of my process in the application, and specifically, about Zeno's tutoring, feel free to reach out
