Does anyone have any industry info on the UCLA MFA Directing program? Heard anything about it? Know anyone that went there? 

I don't know anything about the program itself, but I did once take a Greek Chorus workshop from Michael Hackett that was incredible/life-changing. And that was enough to make me curious/a little regretful that I didn't look into it as an option. So there's that.

How the "industry" views a program can be hard to pin down, I might start by looking at the bios of professors and where they have worked to determine potential network connections.

I have a friend who went their straight out of undergrad. She was primarily interested in film and has produced stuff more than she's directed since attending. What she has directed look to be shorts based on her IMDB. If you'd like, I can connect you two.

Alan Patrick Kenny, who teaches at OU, went to UCLA. I'm sure if you Google him, you will find a website. He might be able to provide "insider" thoughts, if that helps.

Michael is so great - I did a Shakespeare workshop with both him and Rodney Cottier in the Fall when I was first applying. So awesome.

I couldn't make it to the callback weekend so they asked me to pick a scene from their options, get actors, stage it, and then have a zoom interview with during which the actors perform the scene. 

So interesting! What an experience for you and your actors!

How's everyone doing? Any insights from finals weekends or news to share?

I've been interviewing current students at a particular program (gonna keep it on the DL for now since I think that program is going to make final decisions soon). So that's been insightful.

Hi Everyone! 

Long time lurker here. I only applied to Brooklyn College this year so kinda late to the process in general. I have my interview next week. Anyone have any advice who interviewed with them at the URTAS or over the last few weeks? What kind of questions did they ask?  

Thank you!
