I first became interested in applying to NYU when I fell in love with Charlie Kaufman’s films. After watching Synecdoche New York, I researched Kaufman in order to learn more about his career as well as his background. I first found out that he had attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and I then discovered all the other incredible men and women who have walked through Tisch’s doors, to later mold film into what it is today. As one of the top film schools in the world, Tisch has the ability to help me achieve my full potential as a filmmaker, allowing me to enrich my creative perspective as I learn from the minds that taught masters like Martin Scorsese or Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I long to live in the environment that New York city embodies,
