Hey all, I'm just curious about who on here has had interviews and/or as been accepted into the 2009 MFA FIlm Directing/Production program?

Thanks Myke

I had my interview last week. I think it went smoothly, but who knows. They told me that they would be letting people know around the 25th.

Thanks momotato! Good luck...

Have all the interviews taken place already for Directing/Production applicants? Because I still haven't heard a word from UCLA
This year a lot of the schools are a bit later than normal on their decisions for directing applicants... maybe that applies to here as well?

 

[Race_Bannon]

Oh and congrats on getting an interview momotato!

I had an interview on the 14th, I felt pretty good about it but you never know with these things.

 

[Casey Cooper Johnson]

I am curious, when you were contacted for interviews, was it by phone, email, or post? Thanks.

 

[mykefilm]

Boy, I hope they notify us already. It's pretty stressful...

 

[momotato]

They contacted me by email. The office seems pretty busy, it took me two days to get back in touch with them to actually schedule the thing.

what kind of questions did they ask you?

 

[momotato]

They asked me about my upbringing, my life and then I went into my pitch. They also asked me to list my 5 favorite films. After my pitch I asked them questions about the program.

what professor's did you have when you interviewed?? I' just curious if it's the same as last year

 

[mykefilm]

[Race_Bannon]

Yea, same - got it last Friday. Good luck to everyone who's still waiting to hear!

Momotato...

Was that you waiting with DVD's in hand for your interview as I exited?

I was the deceptively california looking blonde guy in cowboy boots.

I was interviewed by Becky Smith, Marina Goldovskaya, and this is terrible (I had one hour of sleep before my interview) a man who's name I can't remember, though I think it was Bill.

No, I hid in Statue park until my interview. I had a terrible time sleeping the night before and tried to fall asleep on campus. What day did you interview?

My little peach...

You were a sleepy head when you blazed your way in, huh?

My interview was from 11AM to Noon on Sat. 3/7.

Is the pit turning in your stomach too...

I had mine on the same day at 5pm. Marina was sleepy too, kind of made me feel better.

 

[Sojouner]

WOW!

This board is stiff...

You guys should read how the screenwriters are burning it up!

Where are my directors?! PRESENTE!!!

How are everybody's nerves waiting for the big word?

I'm going to get my head pounded by a 20y/o heavy wgt. Figure a sparring session will help me keep my mind off the decision...or permanently erase the concern.
