Film & Video
New Application Option -- Screenwriting!

Students shoot and edit a short film based on a pre-selected script. Students work as a group and learn about the various roles on a film set (director, editor, grip, props, etc.) The student film is screened in a public exhibition.  Class discussions and film screenings may contain mature subject matter.  Up to 16 students are accepted.

NEW Application Option:

There are now two ways to apply for Film/Video -- submit EITHER a short film OR a screenplay. The screenplay option is intended only for students with no experience in filmmaking but with strong narrative storytelling abilities. The number of students acepted based on a screenplay is very limited.  Please note that screenwriting skills will not be taught at Quartz Mountain; it is simply a new way to apply for the discipline. Screenwriters are encouraged to apply for Creative Writing in addition to Film/Video. Please click here for more information about Creative Writing.

Interview Guidelines:

Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete a questionnaire about your work. Please bring the following items to your interview:
* EITHER three copies of a screenplay OR three copies of a short film.  (Films must be submitted on three separate DVDs.)  DO NOT write your name on your screenplay or film; you will be assigned a number at your interview. The screenplay must be typed and up to ten (10) pages long. Screenplays consisting of more than 10 pages will not be accepted.  The short film must be a 2-3 minute fiction or documentary film that you scripted and shot. The Oklahoma Arts Institute will retain your materials for consideration and they will NOT be returned.
