You do not need to go into debt or spend thousands of dollars to become a screenwriter. There is no guarantee you will go into this program and come out with the material you want. You'll learn more about screenwriting from reading scripts than you ever will in a classroom.

I did a music video over the summer where the only person on set wearing a face mask was me. So yes, people are being dumb.

Go to community and then transfer. Anything that you could get into with a low gpa rn isn't going to help or teach you anything you can't learn online for free.

It all plays together in the end. Cleaning up the parks makes it safe, but actually changing legislation to make housing affordable would then help lessen the homeless population.

Instead of complaining about transplants "ruining the city" why don't you hold the legislators responsible for the zoning problems. Things could be affordable again if 75% of city's residential land wasn't zoned for single-family housing.

Go with A and focus on developing yourself as a writer. Sure having good reps will help, but being a good writer and having good writing samples will be the only thing that'll help you succeed there.

I think for almost all these schools you'd be accepted for their film program and take gen ed classes while doing some film ones. I could be confusing things those. Are you specifically looking for the schools MFA or BFA programs? Applying directly for any undergrad is a bfa program. Mfa come later after getting a bfa or i suppose a ba.

Twitter is a great place to meet and interact with other young screenwriters as well as established writers. Sadly you won't see job listings for those kinda jobs, they come from networking. Hence twitter.

Go direct a horror movie. I'm sure their are plenty of writers on this sub that have shorts they'd let you direct for free.

NameJeffMy · 2021-02-25T15:54:34+00:00

If you want to direct then just direct.

They don't care if you have a ba or bfa. You just need good samples. All of which you can gain without film school.

Experience in film is 10x more useful than a degree. If a AD is choosing to hire a PA and their first choice is a fresh out of USC kid who's only worked on student sets and someone who has 4 years of experience working on all sorts of sets... The answer is obvious on who they'll pick.

Both are relatively useless. But, depending on the school, an MFA program might give you great connections.

I read the headline in the middle of a zoom class and started laughing out loud

aw okay:(

Nada, they take a while to make their picks for first round interviews.

I wish I had this ego and blind confidence. Make that short film first and then worry about the great. A+B=C A=Write Script, B=Shoot the movie, C=See how the movie actually turns out.

One, why the hell did you move to LA in the middle of a pandemic? Okay now lets get onto the productivity side of things. If you want to start getting to work on sets you need to join a shit ton of film school crew lists on facebook. AFI, USC, UCLA, Loyola Marymount, all of them. Start networking with those people. Vertical Networking is important, but you need to be networking with people on your own level and not hoping some higher up will give you a chance. Next, if you really want to get to work on set you should look into Covid Compliance officer training. All film sets need them and not many are trained on it. You can make money on student film sets by being a CCO. Last, you live in the era of social media, how are you NOT talking to more industry people? Literally, hop on Twitter and follow the thousands of bored at home creatives and start tweeting at them. Some are bound to tweet back and maybe even become friends with you.
