I know that USC as a university likes international students a lot. I don’t know whether that will help you specifically in getting into the film school though. The one thing I will say for USC is this: if you get into USC but not into the film school, go somewhere else where you’ve been admitted to your ideal major. Every year hundreds of people try to transfer into film from other departments or from being undeclared, because they came to USC hoping to get into film after they were there, and they only take a very few people through this method. Nobody I knew who tried to do this got in. But on the other hand lots of people take the ‘Critical Studies’ road who do not get into the Production major, and do just fine, similar to paying3’s example of filmwriting vs. production.
