The MFA in Cinema Directing Program is looking for talented individuals who have stories to tell and the creative vision and the desire to express them on screen.

We also look for qualities such as commitment, maturity, tenacity, self-awareness, and the ability to collaborate. We welcome people from other fields; filmmaking experience is not necessary.

We generally receive over 100 applications per year. The Film & Video Selection Committee invites 12-14 applicants per year.
