<p>I think it is, since it just mentions how the characters wants a cigarette, but I don’t wanna take any chances. Your thoughts?</p>
<p>i think you’re more than fine.</p>
<p>They wouldn’t mind. At the Open House, some kid was asking the Tisch Director of Admissions if they would mind profanity in his film submission, they said it wouldn’t affected him negatively as long as it contributed to the story.</p>
<p>Wanting a cigarette? No problem. I would, personally, stay away from monologues laced with profanity and sexual language, simply because one never knows the sensibilities of the person for whom one is auditioning. But a cigarette? Not a problem.</p>
<p>as long it isnt encouraging illegal activities. you can make it discourage illegal activities. like you can talk about doing drugs but the character learns a lesson not to do drugs anymore and decide to help others. thats positive</p>
<p>I don’t understand why it has to be positive. How many film grads go on to spend their lives producing after school specials for pre teens? It does not have to be an episode of 7th Heaven. A cigarette isn’t even illegal if the person’s of age…it’s the not the same as shooting up smack.</p>
<p>It’ll probably actually help, knowing the sheer number of smokers on campus.</p>
<p>Kidding, but seriously it’s not going to be a problem. The admissions directors are grown-ups, they can handle it.</p>
<p>Your situation’s kinda like mine, alcohol drinking is a big part of my video submission for Tisch Film, but my music video deals with the effects of alcoholism on a relationship so it’s suitable I think.
