Hi Guys, Im new to this forum ,but have been watching closely the discussions.
Here is my dilemma

I am a senior software engineer in an MNC,but I have been making short films for quite some time and have won few local awards too.Now I want to switch my career and join a film school to learn (graduate)cinematography. But I think the following things against me.

1) I am 25 years old
2) I am an undergarduate in Information Technology.

So do you guys think my age and my profession could be a reason for the schools to reject my application?

Few of the schools that I have short listed are:
1)LFS
2)USC
3)La Fémis
4)Filmakademie Baden
Thanks in advance for any replies!! Smile

No. They will not. 21 year old film BFAs are not what film schools are looking for. They're looking for determined, talented storytellers.
