Chapman - Directing MFA Fall 26
Application was relatively straightforward. Only bothersome part was the self portrait video but that’s more of a reflection of me than the program itself

MA Animation for Film and Games & MA VFX Environments and Assets - 2027 - NFTS
I put a lot of effort into perfecting my portfolio and making recorded interviews instead of typing them out - hopefully this gives me an edge! I’m a little nervous about hearing back because it’s my absolute dream school but there is no application timeline so far so I guess I’ll just have to...

Declined Admission (Off Waitlist After Interview)
AFI - Producing 2026
Second time applying, but initially applied for Cinematography last year. I interviewed with Sandy Stern and Nikit Doshi. Sad I was waitlisted, but I think I would be a lot more upset if I hadn't already been admitted to Columbia. Thankful for the opportunity!

NFTS MFA SCREENWRITING - 2027
First time applying so a little nerve racking. It was interesting to learn what they expect from you as it has changed from when I've looked into in previous years. The questions seem pretty open to interpretation, when I enquired about what they specifically wanted from the more vague questions...

FAMU Directing - Fall 2026
There were a lot of materials for this one, the statement of intent (basically a series of short answers) was pretty demanding creatively (at least for me). Quite a few questions asking you to pick and analyze films, images, books, and songs that relate back to you and how they represent your...

Chapman Directing MFA - 2026 Fall
The process is interesting. Except for the usual materials like portfolio and personal statement, Chapman also requires a video showcasing your personal life. It's pretty unique to me, at least in all the other schools I applied I didn't see such thing.
