DESCRIPTION
Film Connection offers courses in Directing, Producing, Writing, Editing and General Production for the film and television industries. Accredited by the National Private School Alliance, Film Connection is not a Title IV School. There is a curriculum that is followed so that all students learn how movies and TV shows are really made. Business skills are part of the curriculum.

Film Connection features the mentor apprentice method of teaching students the necessary skills by having them work one-on-one with their mentor on real world projects. Film Connection enjoys working relationships with mentors in film and television directing, producing, writing, editing and general production in most major U.S. and Canadian cities.

ADVANTAGES
Choice of locations, real world experience, one-on-one training and attractive pricing are the main advantages of Film Connection, and that’s saying a lot. No other film school offers as many locations for the student. Not having to relocate, or quit a day job, can offer significant financial advantages to the prospective student. Financially, the low tuition price is also a factor.

Perhaps the biggest advantage held by the Film Connection is the real world experience. Course instruction takes place on film sets and studios, or inside production houses and edit bays under the guidance of a working professional who serves as the student’s private tutor. This provides the student with tremendous opportunities to learn a wealth of practical knowledge and meet a host of professional contacts in a short period of time.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
No Title IV College Degree. In the film and television industries, the closer you are to the production side of things, the less a degree means. Learning in a mentor/apprentice environment is a lot like learning to swim by being tossed in the deep end of the swimming pool with no warning. For some, it serves as a catalyst and provides the ultimate learning and network situation…others can find they are simply in over their heads.

FINANCIAL AID
Film Connection offers several internal payment plans that vary in the amount of down payment and monthly payments. Sallie Mae student loans are also available to qualified applicants. The Film Connection Financial Aid Department will help you with your Sallie Mae application at no extra charge.

SUMMARY
Film Connection works best for the person who is a self-starter. It is tailor made for those with an entrepreneurial makeup. If you have a burning desire to make your own film, tell your own story, but don’t know where to start, the Film Connection is for you.
