Getting into the Filmmakers Boot Camp

Tuition for the beginning program can be found here, the intermediate program here, and the advanced program here. Filmmakers apply to the beginning program by submitting an application only, and to the intermediate and advanced programs by submitting a one- or two-page script (or even a brief concept pitch) along with an application form. 

Filmmakers submitting scripts for the intermediate and advanced programs are encouraged to send in whatever they have; we will work with you on rewrites before the start of the program. Together we'll make sure that your script is ready for filming.  

Follow these general guidelines for your script: Use one, two or three characters your own age and only one or two settings that you can easily find in a small town. Have something original to say. Be constructive rather than destructive. Avoid spoofs and parodies. Dare to be personal.

Download the application form and a screenwriting template. Rolling admissions have already begun, so don't wait until the last minute!
