Kane Parsons, a 20-year-old from Petaluma, California, is pursuing his dream of attending film school by submitting applications to multiple programs, including Drexel University and the Rochester Institute of Technology. With aspirations to enhance his chances, he has attached his project titled Backrooms.mov to his applications. Despite feeling nervous about his prospects, Parsons remains optimistic about his work's impact on his acceptance. He has applied to six schools and plans to apply to three to four more. Parsons acknowledges that he lacks extensive extracurricular activities but hopes that the quality of his project will stand out. He expressed particular interest in San Francisco State University, while also recognizing that California State University, Northridge (CSUN) may be a more ambitious target. To bolster his application, he has included a reference from renowned director James Wan, who is known for his work on the film Obsession. Parsons humorously noted his concern about competing for scholarships with Wan, highlighting the competitive nature of film school admissions.
