THESIS PROJECT: A 5-15 minute short written and produced by the MFA candidate.This can be one of many things: a proof of concept for a larger script, a webseries episode, a sizzle reel for a show, or even a stand-alone short. We encourage the students to collaborate with a director, as a showrunner would.If a student wants to direct their own project, they need to present a reel to the professor for approval.
PORTFOLIO DELIVERABLES: MFA candidates also polish 3-5 of their scripts which could include pilots, screenplays, plays or even sketches.Loglines for these projects will be printed in the MFA Screenwriting Directory, along with a photo, bio and contact information of each candidate.The Directory is sent to all agencies and management companies in town.
