Enrolling with film connection was THE best decision I have ever made, Period. There was so much I learned in just 6 moths of full hands on training in a genuine film set. I worked alongside real working pros and this made the whole world of difference. I was given regular assignments and these were evaluated to ensure that I understood what I had learned. For me this is the best way to learn the craft, not stuck in a stuffy classroom. I just want to say thank you www.filmconnection.com for your help.

I just want to say how much I enjoyed my 6-month program with film connection. I learned so much but also had so much fun in the process. I felt like a kid in a candy store the first time I went on set and was allowed to use the equipment. I swear you could hear me utter wheee. All the gear was brand-new and state of the art. The folks I was working with were very knowledgeable but also down to earth, helping this newbie get to grips with his new “toys”. There was a lot of hard work to be done and much practicing which was never a problem for me. I am now working for a commercial and infomercial company here in Chicago. So once again I just want to say thank you www.filmconnection.com for helping me.

I just thought it right to say thank you to film connection for all the help I received during my 6 month mentor/ apprentice program I enrolled in 9 moths ago. My mentor showed me everything I would need to learn in order to become a competent cinematographer. He also taught me how to work as part of a team and to work off my own initiative. I am indebted to them for all the assistance they provided even after I completed my course. Thanks to their assistance I was able to find work in a small production house close to my hometown of San Diego. Thanks again www.filmconnection.com for all your help.

Just a quick thank you to film connection for all your help that you have provided me during the last 3 months of my program. My mentor has been superb, guiding me and showing me what and what not to do. I have been assisting in a couple of film sets, working alongside real pros and picking up all their little secrets and pearls of wisdom. I am so glad that I decided to enroll with you and not enroll in a community college course. Classroom studies are not my forte so it is great to learn on an actual film set. I look forward to completing my course and finding work in this fantastic industry. Thanks again www.filmconnection.com for giving me this chance.

Just wanted a quick note to say thank you to film connection for all their help and assistance that was provided not only during the actual program but also afterwards, such as help with interviews and preparing my resume. Their assistance made all the difference as I was taken a hell of a lot more seriously because of their backing. So much so that for the last 9 months I have been working for a small production house near San Francisco. This is idea as it is only a short drive from where I live. The work is varied and challenging, but never boring and thanks to the training I received through them I was fully prepared for my role within the company. Thanks yet again www.filmconnection.com
