Welcome to Studentfilms.com, the online film discussion forum for filmmakers and students who are applying to film school, attending film school, need advice on making films, or just want to share their films with the world.
Hi...some of you might laugh when reading this :-(
my question is...is it possible to get accepted and transfer from a community college to a film school (USC, UCLA, NYU etc...): - without having any technical experience in film (i don't know how to edit, how to operate lightings etc), i never did any short, feature films etc... - without extracurricular related to film all i have is very good grades (only A's and one B), and some personal work i did such as - with a small work experience (As a foreign student, i am not allowed to work in the US...so i never had a job for really long)
the only positive thing i have is: - a good academic standard... only A's and one B. - personal creative works: 3 scripts for short films, 1 play, 1 documentary, 13 treatments or scripts for commercials.
I was hoping that i could convince them with the essays they require...but what worries me is my very weak technical experience and unexistent extracurriculum.
Thanks for taking time to read and answer this :-)

i am going to say you probably could get in as long as your marks are good. i know a girl who got into NYU and all she had as far as film work was a storyboard.
