It should be no less than two and no more than three pages long. You may change the gender of any character in these prompts, but do not change ages or relationships. INT. LIBRARY - MORNING The TWO TEENS burst through the library doors and race to the shelves. Scanning the titles of books, they stop short when they spot the one they’ve been searching for. One of them grabs for it but then hesitates before opening it up. EXT. BACKYARD – MIDNIGHT A WOMAN hastily exits the house leaving the noise and chaos of the party behind her. Finally alone, she allows herself to exhale, laugh and slump down onto a patio chair. After a moment, she realizes she isn’t the only one out there. EXT. BEACH – MIDDAY While his family screams with excitement in the last moments of their volleyball game, the Young Man continues to write feverishly in his notebook. Wet from the ocean, his SISTER drops down next to him and catches him hiding the book beneath a towel. Writing Sample: Dramatic writing sample: No more than 10 pages and must contain dialogue. This can be a complete short screenplay, or the first ten pages of a longer screenplay (please indicate which you've chosen). It must be original; it may not be an adaptation, except of your own work in another form. The submission should be in screenplay format. No theatre plays, please. The story cannot be the same as the one in your feature film treatment or your optional video submission. Feature Film Treatment: Feature film treatment: On one double-spaced page for a film you might wish to write, or direct. The treatment must concisely relate a complete dramatic story sufficient to sustain a feature-length film, including major characters and plot developments and a clear statement of the resolution. The story cannot be the same as the one in your dramatic writing sample or your optional video submission. You must state the genre of your treatment and a log line. A log line is one or two sentences that describe the protagonist(s) and the story of the film.

Visual Exercise: Applicants for Directing who have not shot prior visual material are encouraged to shoot and submit the following OPTIONAL VISUAL EXERCISE: Write and shoot a 2-person SILENT SCENE (no dialogue), between one and two minutes long, which deals with the idea of "COMING TOGETHER". It could be two strangers who make a connection, a fighting couple who then make amends, or two people who 'come together' in anger, physicality or any other dramatic situation you choose. You may use subjects of any genders or ages, and any locations and props, etc. that you have available to you. Elaborate production expense is NOT the goal of this part of the application. You may shoot on any format. This Silent Scene should be uploaded to an online video service (e.g. YouTube or Vimeo). A link to the video must be included in the application along with any password necessary to view the work. Please be sure no download is required.
