Stony Brook MFA FILM - 2026 - Producing track
I haven't been in school for over 10 years, so this application process was a forgotten feat for me. Overall I applied to 5 film schools, and of all of them I found Stony Brook's application process the most humane, so to say. Their website and descriptions of required materials are very...

AFI Directing - 2026
Application was pretty straightforward except for making a new short film. Worse and directed that by end of November, and submitted it with a different short I made a few years back. Interviewed over zoom and thought it went well.

NFTS Cinematography MFA 2027
The application process has been pretty straight forward and the school has communicated well throughout. The 'about you' section of the application is great to have, as it gives the panel a better idea of you and how you think as a filmmaker. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't incredibly anxious...

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...
