@JulienEd curious what you chose and where you might apply next year. Some form of creative resume is almost required for the top schools, though they are flexible as to what it might be. They are looking for passion and commitment as much as technical quality. Going to a program or internship is fine and a good starter, but then kick it up and make it happen on your own.There is respect for independent work (short film, script,etc.) that shows creativity and story telling ability that happens on your own outside the structure of program or class. You want to make films? Start making them.
