I've recently started considering film/directorial fellowships so this is perfect timing (although definitely not ready this year to apply). Thanks for posting this (and looking forward to your future videos on the subject)! Having applied to network TV writing fellowships in the past, I can attest that writing bios as the same tone of one's work suuuucks. As you alluded to, it's much easier to see what's tonally not working than it is to actually write the balanced execution. "Kind of infuriating," indeed!
