UCLA Producer's Program interview 2020

[KeenanDK]

Just got the email for the interview yesterday. I was a bit worried as it's the last program I've heard from, so it was pretty exciting!

They provided the questions ahead of time and they're all very film-focused, which is interesting because during my USC and Chapman interviews, we hardly discussed film at all.

Anyone else interviewing with them or already have? Interested to know how they went!

Ive been accepted to the Professional Program for Producers but Im still debating if I should do it. Has anyone had any experience with these programs?

I completed the Producer's Program this past spring. It's one of its kind, and truly worth every penny. Immensely eye-opening. You'll learn something new every day from some of the best in the industry. Absolutely, 100% do this. Sure, it's a certificate and not a degree, but the connections you will make are invaluable. In my program we also partook in an MFA class with MFA students, furthering our pool of connections with students and faculty.

Would you take the course or spend the money to make a film or two?

I'd take the course. Making a film is definitely worth your time (you will be highly encouraged to do so throughout the program) but I think that making connections with peers and industry professionals is invaluable.
