UCLA Interview

[Icarus Ascending]

This is Icarus Ascending reporting from Cloud 9. Just got an e-mail inviting me for a UCLA interview in the city. Anyone else heard???

Sh*t. Unless Columbia accepts me w/o an interview (which is probably not likely), then I will have to haunt these forums again in the near future. Right now, I'm too exhausted to think about going through the application process again.

huzzah maozbrown. Thanks for that. did they mention any other disciplines?

 

[maozbrown]

I only asked about the directing program.

 

[redpokiepenguin]

okay, thanks!

 

[robertish]

hey sorry for the late reply,
yes i did get it around six o clock.
I actually am from the SFBay but have been living here in Ny for only a month now, so if it is done by coast they're treating me as a Californian.
Allen, I just got the reply that I will be interviewing in NY in the afternoon on the 29th, whens your interview?
and no worries about the critique, its gonna take me some time too so, no rush.
cheers!

I believe that interviews for the Producer's Program start as early as next week.

 

[birdman78]

damn. I applied to UCLA directing and didn't get the interview.
Can't say I'm shocked. It was the first application out (nov 1st right?) - and I still hadn't polished my essay writing skills etc.
Still a bit of a downer.

congrats to all who got the e-mail.

Dear All,

A query from an international student - have had no word from UCLA yet about the screenwriting programme, and efforts to contact them prove impossible - don't seem able to find a single human being who actually works in the film department who answers a phone.

Can I (a) presume that no news is bad news by now and (b) does anyone have an actual name and number I might try to utilise? Much appreciated if anyone could help.

Cheers.

 

[maozbrown]

Try this number. It's for student services, and it leads to a living, breathing person.

310 206 4572.

 

[Winterreverie]

lol-- UCLA and no living person... I experienced the same thing-- try emailing the head of the dept.

 

[redpokiepenguin]

i haven't heard a thing either...but i also found typos in my personal statement after i sent it out...soooo ooops. oh well

 

[Russell Blanchard]

Rockstar... if you dont mind me asking, how did you here about interviews for the producing program?? I am an applicant and havent heard anything yet, but the good thing is this is the first thing i hear about interviews

 

[cabezon]

It's nice to see a few other producer program applicants on here. I hope we can all be classmates next fall. Let's keep each other updated. Best of luck.

 

[ediebeale]

I have an interview for cinematography. Does anyone know how many people applied? How many are interviewed? I know there are only three spots. . .

 

[rockstar]

Russell,

I'm a current student in the Producer's Program so we get word Ediebreale, congrats on getting an interview for cintematography, it's a big deal. I'm not sure how many people applied but getting an interview is impressive. Good luck!

Hi rockstar,

Can I send you an e-mail through thie website? I have some questions about the program.

 

[rockstar]

Dragonball, congrats! Feel free to private message me and I'll try and answer whatever questions you may have.

 

[dahinducow]

I have an interview for Directing. But I've left a message and sent two e-mails and still no response back. Which one of you is pranking me? Heh.

 

[tjcraig7]

hey guys,
Is it harder to get into the directing or cinematography? i know they take only 3 for DP and 17 for directing but I heard many more people apply for directing...
I don't mean to say anything about who got in for what ever, I'm just thinking about which one I should apply for.
thanks alot
o and congrats to everyone. good stuff

Does anyone know what the status is for screenwriting interviews at UCLA? There's been a lot of discussion about producing and directing, but none about writing! Thanks.
