Portfolio Requirements
The purpose of the portfolio is to allow us to get a sense of who you are and where you are as an artist. It is meant to show us that you have creative and artistic talent and where you stand in your experience. Share with us some samples of the projects on which you have worked at this point in your life.
Your portfolio should be organized into the following sections:
1. Film Related: This can include any films, short films, scripts, treatments, documentaries, music videos, production sketches and/or storyboards.
Include a minimum of two film related items in your portfolio.
2. Non-Film Related: This can include any creative pursuit outside of filmmaking, including photography, painting, sculpture, poetry, creative writing, building, or any other creative venture. Include a minimum of two non-film related items with your portfolio.
NOTE: Please include comments regarding the position you had in each project (i.e. writer, editor, actor, photographer, sculptor, etc.). Each item of your portfolio should be labeled with your name and a description of what your role was in creating the project.
