Applicants must submit a selection of their moving image work, no longer than 15 minutes, demonstrating their aptitude for sequential thinking and directing abilities. Your particular role on any collaborative projects should be clearly indicated. The admissions board prefers to see complete films to demonstrate your directorial potential rather than edited clips. Select your work carefully to demonstrate your strengths and indicate the direction you would like to develop.
If you are invited for interview, then you may bring additional material and original artwork and/or models.
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
