I am currently going into CAS, hopefully as a cinema studies major, but I really want to focus on production. I originally applied as a for-fun school so I didn’t pay much attention to which school I applied to and have minimal film experience, but film production is what i want to do and I love NYU now so I’m definitely going there.

I know there really isn’t a chance for me to transfer into Tisch without a portfolio, which I can’t create without taking classes, which I can’t do because I’m not in Tisch. See the problem?

So my thought is that I might get a minor in studio art, focusing on film, in addition to the cinema studies major. Then apply to the Tisch grad school for film production? Is it even possible that I might transfer to Tisch at the end of sophomore year or something? Is this a crazy idea, or is it possible that I could still have a career in film production? Yeesh, life is complicated. Let me know what you think!
