25 Sep
Summary
- Two college admissions officers embark on an Illinois road trip.
- They grapple with difficult decisions impacting futures.

"Admissions," an independent road trip film, has completed production, starring Ben Wang and Minnie Mills. The movie, helmed by first-time feature filmmakers Aimee Pham and Kai Sampadian, centers on two college admissions officers.
These officers, portrayed by Wang and Mills, hold divergent perspectives on the admissions process. Their journey unfolds during a recruitment road trip across Illinois. Throughout their travels, they are compelled to confront the complex and often uneasy reality of determining which students will advance.
Simultaneously, the characters' own career trajectories remain uncertain. The film was shot in Chicago and various locations across Illinois, benefiting from the Illinois Film Production Tax Credit. Pham and Sampadian, both USC alumni, previously saw their script "Place to Be" selected for the 2025 Black List.
