I got my call from Sheila as well. Did she interview you? I was thinking that they have one of your interviewers call, primarily due to the familiarity factor.

I just looked at your post again, yes, she interviewed you. That's the solution to that mystery.

Just got the call. I'm in!

I applied for screenwriting and Del Reisman was the one who called, but he was not one of my interviewers. Good luck for the rest of you. I assume phones are about to start ringing.

3 Screenwriters in...that's only 25 spots left for me.

Heart pounding, palms sweating, vision blurred...

Congratulations!

That's great to know they're still calling. I had begun to assume the worst. Thanks for the post.

Do you think they're only doing screenwriters now? Any Directors hear yet?

any cinematographers hear yet?

Thanks Yossarian! I'm especially excited since AFI was the only program I applied to. So who else has officially been accepted and is planning to attend?

Yes, at least 3 were called on Saturday. I applied for cinematography too, but haven't heard anything. Time is running out! Good luck.

Yossarian

thanks!! Perhaps today they will stay late and call people into the wee hours of the night...perhaps. Good luck.

I see that everyone is waiting for that phone call, or eMail... from AFI. I'm one of you, too. Also, I got a question for people who applied at UCLA. Did UCLA send official rejection letters or emails to everyone. I'm sure that they rejected me (since I didn't get an interview there), but I was wondering did they at least send an official rejection notice to those who didn't get in. Thanks, and good luck.

they send an email telling you to check a link which ultimately is the final rejection letter.

Hey, nice job Tex! I'm glad to hear that you made the cut. Applying to only one program can be nerve-racking. And to everyone else, just keep hanging in there!

they sent me an email that confirmed I was accepted... so an email isn't necessarily a bad thing.

For all of you - AFI applicants - check out couple of postings at http://www.yelp.com/biz/vdwsrc0eyD8cgthDw3VwBQ

Hi Y'all,

I'm waiting to hear on directing at AFI too...haven't heard anything yet. I'm actually in LA visiting UCLA, USC and AFI (msging from a computer on the UCLA campus, how dorky!), but I'm hoping I hear from AFI one way or the other before I go there to visit! (Also waiting on UCLA and USC directing but decided to visit anyawy). Good luck to all!

Just take a cab to AFI right now, walk to Hardmann's (or whatever his name is) office, and as him... just kiddin'. And another que to UCLA people: anyone accepted to UCLA without an interview? Thanks.

So I'm assuming that if I haven't heard yet, I'm not going to. Oh well.

Hey everybody! This is't a film school acceptance but I have some pretty big news!!

My most recent short film just got in to the Frameline San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival...for those of you who don't know about it, they call it the "Gay Sundance". This is about as big as it gets for GLBT film.

First I get in to film school...now this...for the first time in my life I'm scared I'm going to get hit by a bus tomorrow...instead of hoping for it!!

Great job Philly I'm really proud of you!!!

Congrats, Philly!


I remember my first film festival...and it was a little and obscure one!

Can't imagine what you're feeling now!!

Be safe tomorrow.



I'm tossing in the towel on AFI now. It's 5pm PST.


Whoooooooo, GO BRUINS!!
