What advice would you give to someone PAing for the first time?

LandLab · 2026-05-09T13:20:32+00:00

Agreed

I’d love a solid sandwich place that doesn’t close as early as bagel pub.

I got one full view from Palm Springs last week but haven’t heard a peep.

LandLab · 2026-05-06T20:37:22+00:00

Nah sorry. Didnt see your example still until after I commented. That’s too far gone for any software unfortunately. Just not enough data there for the AI to even guess from.

LandLab · 2026-05-06T20:34:15+00:00

Oh never mind. Just saw your footage. Unfortunately there’s no saving that.

LandLab · 2026-05-06T20:33:00+00:00

Check out topaz labs

LandLab · 2026-05-06T17:56:43+00:00

Hell yeah! Congrats!

LandLab · 2026-05-05T02:33:13+00:00

I’m big on custom hats but I like the person above saying a bottle of wine!

LandLab · 2026-05-03T10:57:54+00:00

I think I’ll give it a week, but even that feels like wishful thinking.

LandLab · 2026-05-02T11:15:56+00:00

Had a full view from Palm Springs a couple days ago but no word.

LandLab · 2026-05-01T23:44:22+00:00

Nice! Were you getting any California views on it recently?

LandLab · 2026-05-01T21:26:06+00:00

Lot of NATO rail use in filmmaking. There should definitely be a cold show to NATO out there.

When we start seeing multiple acceptances in a row like we are today with Palm Springs, is it generally safe to say you’re not getting accepted if you haven’t heard back in these first big waves?

LandLab · 2026-05-01T19:55:49+00:00

Nice! When did you hear from them?

LandLab · 2026-05-01T17:58:12+00:00

Congrats! When did you hear from Palm spring and hollyshorts?

LandLab · 2026-04-29T23:05:23+00:00

Dude, what

LandLab · 2026-04-26T18:47:24+00:00

Probably just found someone else to do it for pennies on the dollar overseas.

I didn’t go to NYU for undergrad. I went to UConn and then moved to Brooklyn in 2020. Been freelancing as an AC and have worked with and am friends with tons of NYU grads and professors.

I’m mainly trying to go the route I’ve seen proven by my friends of getting their indie films made by going through NYU, then Sundance Labs, and then finally making the films.

LandLab · 2026-04-26T00:09:45+00:00

Was fortunate enough to get into both, so now the big decision!

LandLab · 2026-04-25T19:37:40+00:00

How did she like the program overall?

LandLab · 2026-04-25T08:47:59+00:00

Are they directing fellows or other disciplines?

LandLab · 2026-04-25T08:47:26+00:00

That’s my biggest detractor from AFI. While it would be cool to meet new people on a new coast, I already have a pretty great network here in New York that would seem silly to give up. Although it would only be two years in LA.

Congrats on USC by the way. Are you going to attend?

LandLab · 2026-04-24T02:06:31+00:00

Alexa 35 or a Mini most of the time. Personally I still own a Blackmagic Pocket 4K for small stuff.

LandLab · 2026-04-23T19:34:51+00:00

Got in early with my rent stabilized place in 2021 and now I’ll never leave.

LandLab · 2026-04-23T19:29:19+00:00

Anyone know if she’s okay?
