he's just going to be stern and cold. don't be intimidated by the jacket. some questions they like to ask: what's your favorite movie? what's a good movie you've seen lately? why? what's the worst move you've seen lately? why? what movie would do you wish you would've made? and then the usual interview questions: strengths? weaknesses? etc. they may even ask you something about being a volunteer on sets and knowing students and why you want to go to fsu when you didn't apply to other schools (assuming that you didn't apply to others schools)?

another good question is this: if you don't get into film school, what are you going to do?

they may even ask a question about what kind of stories you want to tell, and what kind of voice you think you have. since you're fresh out of undergrad, they may want to know what life experiences you have that would make you a good candidate/story-teller.

My over all suggestion is to be yourself, but the best part of you you want someone to see. I wouldn't be too sarcastic or anything like that unless you know for sure that it's going to be an awesomely funny sarcasm. Try to be as sharp as you can. Roll with the punches. Sit in the chair actively--as if you really want to be there.

And most importantly: let them know that you want to be there. You've been on set, you've seen us get worked into the ground, you've seen the thesis process and the pros and cons of the school and you STILL want to get your master's there because you know you'll leave with a world class education. And you want to get in right now, because you want to learn the tools to tell your story as effectively as possible so you can go out and do it ASAP.

Good Luck!!!
