Submitting a Film Supplement for EA?

<p>I have a film supplement that I want to submit. </p>

<p>It's roughly 15 minutes in length, and is a documentary that I shot/edited/conceptualized/co-wrote. </p>

<p>I don't know how comfortable I would be submitting a full 15 minutes of film to the admission committee, because I feel like they wouldn't want to be bothered with a longish film supplement. Should I cut it down to 3 to 4 minutes (or less)? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I wanted to post here before I called just in case there was someone who had some relevant insight. </p>

<p>Y-E-S! No Admissions officer has the time to watch a 15 minute film, they just don’t. It’s the same with a music supplement. Think about every Hollywood movie preview you’ve ever seen – all of them are under 3 minutes. Your supplement needs to be as well.</p>
