Film School Admissions
With degrees from two of the nation’s premier film schools, Rachel offers expert guidance in navigating the film school admissions process.
Get accepted to the film school of your dreams with help from someone who has two film degrees, has taught at 3 universities, and for three years served on the judging committee for freshman film school applications at USC. Coaching sessions are available at every stage of the process - from deciding where to go, what kind of writing and video samples to submit, or a discerning eye on your application materials before you hit send - this is insider knowledge you can’t find anywhere else.

Mentorship Program
Want to go to film school, without going to film school? I offer a mentorship program that includes biweekly coaching and a custom-designed curriculum for self study. It’s like taking a class at USC or Columbia, but you are the only student. This is also the greatest way to prepare for your film school admission - if you are at least 6 months out from your deadline, the Mentorship program is a great option to develop your sensibilities and hone your craft so that your application reflects a more uniquely sophisticated candidate.
$500 per month, by application only.
Testimonial:
"When I applied to USC Film School I was totally overwhelmed by the odds, and the amount of ideas I wanted to put on paper. Rachel has such a good grasp on what the admissions team is looking for, and how to distill your thoughts into something that catches their attention. She was an incredible help, allowed me to believe I could be accepted, and hey, I was!”
