<p>Since my grades are subpar for tisch for film, i'm trying to make my portfolio shine as much as possible.</p>
<p>i do not have a reel to submit, so I was wondering if they look at writing a short story in a dimmer light? i have a pretty solid idea and my english teachers have always told me i have an innate ability to tell and execute a story effectively, so i felt it would be in my best interest. </p>
<p>i guess my main question is: does submiting creative writing in lieu of a film reel put someone at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>all opinions are welcome (especially current Tischies and Tisch graduates!)</p>
<p>P.S.- should i doublespace my 6 page story or keep it singlespaced?</p>
