Just over 3 months ago, my son Ethan enrolled with Film Connection on one of their mentor/ apprentice programs. This was one of his best decisions. He has definitely matured since he began the course. His entire attitude has changed, for the better. He says that he really enjoys the course and going by his mannerisms lately I would have to agree. He says that it’s not easy; it is however fulfilling and rewarding. His mentor has arranged some meetings with some of his work associates for next week. We both have our fingers crossed. Either way, he says it has been worthwhile and fun. Thank you www.filmconnection.com.

I just wish to say a quick thank you to Film connection and especially my mentor, Philip for giving me the opportunity to work in the industry that I have dreamed about since I was a kid. Unfortunately my family was not blessed with endless wealth so I was unable to go to university for 4 years. When a friend gave me the heads up about the FC program I jumped at the chance. Being a part time course meant that I could continue to work and do my course in the evenings and weekends. This is ideal for me. They also offered an easy payment scheme through Sallie Mae, which was very welcome. I can only hope that I find a suitable position after my course, but in the mean time thanks you www.filmconnection.com.

Thank you Film connection for giving me the head start I needed in the commercial making business. Thanks to the great training I received at the hands of my mentor Greg I was qualified to work in commercial advertising. I not only learned how to make an actual commercial but I also learned how to market my product and how to deal with the studios. This was invaluable as it gave me the confidence I needed in order to deal with the big wigs and moneymen. It not only taught me how to work as part of a team, it also showed me how to work on my own initiative.
Thank you again www.filmconnection.com.

My parents are your standard working class folk. They have worked hard all their lives. They did not have the luxury of wealth in order to put me through 4 years of university in order to get a degree in cinematography. So, during and after high school I worked in a fast food delivery restaurant in order to save up the cash I would need to enroll with Film Connection. After I graduated I was able to find a full time job. Fortunately with film connection you can study in your spare time as the program is built around you. I work on real sets alongside real pros and my mentor gives me homework assignments that must be completed within a specified time. Then and only then you move on to the next stage. This is great as it instills discipline and teaches you to work to a deadline. I have no regrets about enrolling with www.filmconnection.com and I know that you wont either.

People told me that I needed to go to university for 4 years if I wanted to be qualified to work in the film business. They also said that studios were only interested in what diploma you had on your wall. What a crock. Studios don’t care if you went to some fancy college or if you went to Film School. All a studio boss is interested in is how qualified you are to do the job at hand. 3 Years ago I completed my 6 month mentor/ apprentice program with Film Connection and when I went to interviews I was told that they actually looked away from university grads as they tend to have a very narrow perspective when it comes to film making. They have taken on the quirks of their college professor and believed that only his way of thinking was correct, whereas someone who learned in an actual film studio setting was far more open to new ideas and thinking. Luckily, my mentor was a working professional who knew what he was doing. He passed on all his vast knowledge and also many inside tips. This knowledge came in handy when I interviewed for a position at a local studio here in Tucson, Arizona. My mentor came with me for moral support and we demonstrated what I had learned. Needless to say I got the job and have been working with them for three and a half years now. I am very happy where I am working and I take it they are happy with me. So, it doesn’t take fancy degrees to get work, it takes the ability to do the given job. Give www.filmconnection.com a call or email and with their training you will leave those narrow-minded university graduates far behind.
