Just found out I've been shortlisted to the Bachelor of Fine Arts(Film and TV) at QUT over here in Australia. The interview is Next Week, theres only 16 places going in the course, so all i can be is hopefull.

Thats fantastic! Hope you make it through! Someone needs to be the one to lift Australian films out of the rut and into the mainstream and it could be you... or me... it doesn't matter, as long as we try!

Good news! Best of luck!! What does QUT stand for?

QUT is the queensland university of technology. Their film course has developed a reputation as being one of the best in the state, and the country, and only accepting 16 people is probably why. Hopefully i can get in, if not the whole interview process should be a great experience.

That's amazing that they only accept 16. Is it undergrad or graduate?

its undergrad.

i hope to eventually do my masters down at the Australian Film Televison and Radio School, AFTRS- its the premier film school in australia, graduate stuff only, down in sydney, through usually only between 12-4 people get accepted there per year from accross australia in their MA Film (cinematograpy) course.

Thats awesome Parnell, hope u get in.
