Step 1: Short Answer Questions

Please answer the following question in a video format. Video messages should be no more than 3 minutes long and should answer the question thoughtfully.

1. What is your understanding of filmmaking and why do you want to be a part of the program? *

2. What’s your favourite movie/TV show? Who’s your favourite director? *

Good filmmakers watch movies. You don’t need to talk about something particularly critically acclaimed - rather, focus on a film or director that truly resonated with you, and use it as a way to share something new about you.

3. Where do you see yourself in five years? *

We want to know that you’re in the industry for the right reasons. When you consider the future, you don’t have to have a specific role in mind, but ensure your career goals follow a natural progression from this position to more senior roles in film.
