HELLO:

My mother found this blog-board and told me I should come say hello to all my new classmates.

I hope you're all having a wonderful spring. New York is beautiful right now -- the sun is large and the trees are in bloom.

I'm looking forward to moving to California and meeting everyone and seeing the Pacific Ocean and living in Spanish style houses.


Cheers,
Robert Scott Wildes

Heya Robert, what's your discipline?

Also--I'm looking for someplace to live, as well. Possibly someone to split rent with, too. Any other female AFI Fellows out there right now...? =)

RIGHT.

I'll be in the Directing Program. You?


UP UP UP.

Cinematography.

Great to meet you Robert.

Do you have a link to your work?

Best,

Bandar (Directing fellow)

Awesome! See you in the fall!

Hey Robert,

What's your background? Are you straight out of Undergrad?

I think it would be a great idea for all of us future fellows to write a little bio about ourselves and post it on these forums (sort of like the bio we were required to write for AFI). Talk a little about where we went to school, hobbies, background in film, etc...

It'll help all of us get to know one another before we meet!

Anybody want to second this idea?

Hi all. I'm a screenwriting person.

I just sent my enhanced-photo and bio to Carl, so I'm one of you now.

I'll be moving to LA at the end of july and have allotted 1 week to find accommodations.

Anyone have a take on whether it's possible to live near the school and not need a car? I'm thinking maybe a bicycle with a basket on front.

k, seeya

Hey Paul,

If you are a screenwriting applicant and live close to the school, you may not need a car. But this is LA (I moved here from NYC) and will be the first to say it is a car city.

The number of productions you will be able to work on will be limited if you don't have a car, since most films shoot off campus within a 30 mile radius.

You can always just rent a car during the shoot days you want to help out on. Just a thought.

By the way,

If anybody needs a couch to crash on until they find a place, let me know. I can accomodate one or two people!

The AFI campus is also walking distance to the metro (LA DOES have one, and it's rather nice, it just doesn't go very many places).

But I agree with Bandar, even if you don't use it for school, a car is pretty much essential for life in LA (not only film shoots but also going to any social events anywhere outside of Hollywood)

KelMo,

Which schools did you apply to/are possibly going to?

Carpooling sounds fun.

Indeed it does!

Hi!
I haven't decided yet where I am going to be (AFI/UCLA), but thank you very much for your informations. If finally I decide to go to UCLA, I'll hope we can collaborate sometime.
Bandar, I haven't read the forums for a while, so I am sorry I didn't answer you... My sister lives in Valencia. In which place were you studying there?

Universidad de Valencia.

This post has died down recently...

Everyone still alive?!

Hey everybody,

I'll be attending AFI as a screenwriting fellow. I look forward to moving to Cali and meeting all of you.

A bar-b-que sounds like a great idea. Who amongst us is a grill master?

By the way, is anyone looking for a roommate?

Hey guys,

Screenwriting fellow here. New to this site as well, but seems pretty cool. Living in TX now and will be moving in early August. Will be looking in Los Feliz. Anyone coming from NYC (old stomping ground) or Texas (originally from Austin and living and working here now). Looking forward to meeting everybody.
