Mhh I am so terrible with names...was Markham a white bearded person or a guy with short hair and glasses?

Why do I ask this? I guess so time passes quicker until Friday...

I am with you man. At least come Friday we will know..everyminute I am just praying the phone is going to ring with a "restricted" number (that's what showed up the last two times I got calls)..

Same here. I had a great feeling after the interview but what will kill me is the film I send in. It is my NYu Thesis but they got the december version (first cut) which was awfull...I supplied them with the recent cut which is way better but I am unsure if they will take another look at it.

Oh well...I guess I am looking for reasons now but it is still open.

Has anyone else heard anything yet about AFI? And for those of you who have applied before or know more, is there a chance the rejection letter would come in the mail tomorrow, or does it seem to come later?

Tomorrow is the day so they told me. I am expecting a rejection letter by now but I still have some hope left.

Is AFI a grad school of sorts? Do you go there after college?

Yes, it's a grad school conservatory program, meaning it's more hands-on and takes a "learn by doing" approach. You can get an MFA in one of six specializations: directing, screenwriting, producing, editing, cinematography, or production design.

As the deadline looms near..good luck to all!

good luck! I hope we all get in.

GOOD LUCK!

Anyone, anything? Still waiting here, and getting more anxious by the minute. Good luck to everyone in the last few hours of hope.

nothing...mail did not arrive yet.

I don't think the mail was suppose to arrive today because it is supposed to be "dated April 14th, 2006" according to the application. I think just those that got admission will receive phone calls. But as of yet no call (and didn't get anything in the mail).

me neither

haha I feel like calling them

Yeah, I just want to know already, one way or the other. The waiting is worse than the not getting in.

agree, drives me crazy

Anyone gotten word yet? I know they often times call people on or before the decision date, but it's not always the case. A bunch of people tend to ultimately get in off the wait list as well, so don't freak out if you guys haven't heard yet. They're going to be overly cautious this year in particular. Last year they wound up with too many directors and it created a huge problem.

Good luck to all!

P.S. Kris, are you in L.A. yet? drop me a line if/when you get here.

Nota "Waiting to get out" Mono

Heya Nota, I am in LA

11415 Rochester Avenue haha

Let me know if you got any problems with crew, I am so eager to start working (right now, I am still waiting for drivers permit so I'd have to take the bus but I am not too far from AFI)

I will go back to NYC on May 5th -13th for my graduation ceremony, an then back in LA until June1-20 when I shoot a film in Philadelphia. Before or after that, I am around....but let's get a drink sometimes soon if you got time:

Nothing in the mail either today. I guess we will know Monday.
