For six years I have been working as a cinematographer in Los Angeles thanks to the excellent training I received with film connection. The six month course gave me all the basic information I would need in order to get my foot in the door with the studios. What’s more, it also gave the confidence needed to sell myself to the studio bosses. Well it worked as I have been gainfully employed for the last six years for the same production company. They must have liked what I had to offer. Thanks yet again www.filmconnection.com

Just a quick note to say thank you film connection for all the help you have given to me over the last 5 months. From the initial interview they have done everything possible to make my mentor/apprentice course a success. The mentor is great, he has taught me so much and given me so much confidence. I have been working in a real film set as a assistant cameraman, it has been a great learning experience, one that will hopefully set me up within the industry. The skills I am acquiring are internationally recognized and respected within the industry. My mentor is introducing me to colleagues and acquaintances within the business and hopefully I will be able to find a position within a few weeks thanks to his help. Once again thank you www.filmconnection.com.

I just want to say thank you to film connection for their excellent mentor/ apprentice program. Although the course runs for a mere 6 months it was very intensive. I learned more in 6 months than a friend learned in 2 years at a competitors program. Although there was a great deal to learn and take in, my mentor made sure that I learned a bit at a time and tested me to ensure that I fully understood all that I had learned. I was also able to continue working during the course so that was great as it meant that I did not have a large debt after finishing the course. A word of warning though guys and girls, it is very intensive and you must be fully prepared to work your socks off. This is no place for slackers. If you are up for the challenge I would suggest you give www.filmconnection.com an email or call.
