- Comments by Selection Committee -

 

 

This year, 45 applicants were interviewed by the selection committee in the final stage of the application process for the Busan Asian Film School’s 2024 International Film Business Academy.

 

Each year we are always impressed by the accomplishments and potential shown by the applicants, and this year especially the level was very high. 

With only 17 spots available, we found ourselves in the uncomfortable position of turning down many highly qualified applicants who have already accomplished much in their careers. In some cases, our decisions were based on how much we believed our program could make a difference to the applicant’s current and future career, rather than on the applicant’s overall accomplishments to date.

 

These were not easy choices, and we hope that those who were not accepted will not take our decision as a judgement on their future potential. 

As always, applicants are welcome to apply again in future years.

 

As a school, we remain committed to providing opportunities to fellows from a wide range of countries who may not have access to formal training programs in producing. To the selected fellows, we congratulate you and look forward to having you in Busan in the coming year.
