Thanks to the training I am receiving from Film Connection I should soon be working within the film business. I have always been fascinated by commercials so I was very happy when I was told that they could tailor a program that would concentrate on the commercial side of filmmaking. It not only deals with the actual filming, it also deals with promotion and marketing. This is perfect for me, as it will concentrate totally on what really drives me. My mentor is a really nice lady who has many years of experience making commercials on both a local and national level. She is going through just about everything I will need to know; fortunately she is giving me this knowledge a piece at a time, rather than bombarding me with information all at once. I have no hesitation in recommending www.filmconnection.com to friends and acquaintances.

Thank you film connection for making my dreams come true. Just to have the chance to be a part of this electrifying industry is every kids dream. It’s not all champagne and caviar though. There is a hell of a lot of work to be done before you will even be considered as a member of a film crew. Luckily my mentor, Joe is going through everything I will need to know in order to be taken seriously. I want to concentrate on the sound design side of things so Joe has really been showing me exactly what I need to be doing and what I should not be. I still have a long way to go, but I am confident that I will do OK thanks to www.filmconnection.com.

Thank you to film connection for helping me to be what I want to be, a cinematographer. Thanks to the thorough training I received from my mentor I was physically and mentally prepared for the challenges involved. I was tutored in all aspects of cinematography from someone who actually knew what he was talking about. He showed me the right way and also the wrong way to do things thus ensuring I do not make those mistakes. He also showed me how to work as part of a team and also how to work on my own initiative. The stuff I have learn will be invaluable in the future. Thanks again www.filmconnection.com.

I just wanted to say thank you film connection for helping me so much. The program is very hands on, which is great for me as I was never really into classroom studies. My mentor has gone through just about everything connected with making movies. I have been working on several sets alongside real working professionals, picking up all sorts of tidbits of information. He has also given me an extensive list of books to read up on. I still have 2 months to go on my course but can honestly say that so far it has been a lot of fun, hard work but fun. Thank you www.filmconnection.com.
