U.S. applicants who have taken coursework through an Exchange Program, Semester Abroad or Study Abroad, please contact an Admissions Counselor at GIAC (512-475-7391) to determine if you need an original transcript from the foreign institution. Once you are admitted, you will need to send a hard copy of the official transcript.

Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV): Include education; work experience and internships; honors and awards; and publications or creative works.

Academic Writing Sample: This should be a report, article, review, or anything that you've written for a class (or similar). No page limit, we recommend something at least 5-10 pages long.

Portfolio (Creative Sample): You will need to provide a Vimeo URL for your video(s) to serve as your admission portfolio. Please provide the URL and password (if applicable) on a separate PDF document uploaded on your MyStatus Page. . ** See detailed instructions below

Instructions for Portfolio (Creative Sample)​

Please include up to 20 minutes (doesn't have to be a full 20 minutes) of the best examples of your filmmaking work. We are open to all genres and styles.
