USC or UCLA or NYU summer film program?

Hello everyone, I’m looking for any advice on the filmmaking programs offered by these unis. This is my last year in the UK university and I’m planning on going into film production (probably directing) in the future, which is why I thought a summer program would be a nice way to start. I’m also an international student from Kazakhstan.

  • about the NYU - for some reason the only class that it shows for the Summer Graduate program is Screenswriting for short films - which isn’t really what I’m looking for. Do you know how else I can access other classes?

What are the pros and cons of those programs? If you have applied or know anyone who did - how hard is it to get in and what kinds of things were they looking for? How helpful was the course after it has finished - did you get any contacts or jobs/internships afterwards?

Any information would be really helpful. Thank you!
