The American Film Institute, known to their friends as AFI, will visit Columbia this month to tell you about their MFA programs in Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Producing, Production Design and Screenwriting. There is no easy route to "amke it" in film, but certainly AFI is a program that has many successful alumni to it's credit. Admissions manager JJ Jacksman and Stephen Lighthill, ASC Filmmaker-in-Residence: Cinematography will cover the basics of applying and getting into AFI, and screen work from it's students and graduates. (Fyi - they count among their students TV hopefuls as well as film).
So....at 6pm on Thursday, October 26, 2006, be in Room 504 of 1104 S. Wabash if you're considering (or curious if you should consider) AFI in your future.
The following day, you'll find JJ and Stephen can also be found at the Go Go Graduate School event in the Conaway Center.
