Read about our recent international graduate - Maria Lavelle '17, Norway - now studying film at NYU Tisch!

The IPO caught up with Maria Lavelle after her first couple of months in New York!

"I study graduate film at NYU Tisch, a three-year conservatory in cinematic storytelling.

I absolutely love it! It’s so hands-on that I feel more like a working filmmaker than a grad student most of the time. The program itself is very small—there’s just 36 of us 1st-year students—and we’re literally from all over the world, so it’s been a pure joy getting to know everyone’s stories, dreams, visions and personalities.

It’s also been a amazing to see that my journalism and theatre classes at Augie prepared me well. (I think the two combined should be referred to as the “pre-film major” from now on). I still have tons and tons to learn, but in the midst of the overwhelming transition I found great comfort in the things that were familiar to me because of what I learned at Augustana – even if journalism and theatre isn’t necessarily what people associate with filmmaking.

The rigorous schedule and absolutely complete lack of free-time was challenging to begin with. We’re in class for 26 hours a week, and on top of the projects and homework, we’re out shooting from sunrise to sunset every weekend – so I still have yet to cook an actual meal. But I’ve come to terms with it now; Tisch is a lifestyle, and I love it."
