I applied online. I interviewed at BAYCAT (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
They usually follow up via email and set up a Zoom interview with a panel of 2-3 staff members. I only did one Zoom! They notify you in a couple weeks of whether or not you got it or if you are on a waitlist
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your takeaway goals from this program?
What kind of film/media are you interested in?
What is your experience in film? Why do you think this program would help you advance your career goals?
After applying online, I was asked to come in for an interview. At the interview, I arrived and was given a tour of the facilities and then taken into a room to be interviewed by 4 BAYCAT staff, from the Academy. They asked questions to get to know me and to try to gauge how passionate I am about media and film, and if I have useful skills.
