Of all the schools that I have been to, including those not related to film, Film Connection had the most lasting impact on me. I was immersed in the actual set and picking up on a lot of good practices my mentor and other professionals were doing. My questions were comprehensively addressed either by my mentor or the other experts that I got to meet. This helped me ease up on the environment where I will soon be a part of. Going to Film Connection three years ago was the most important decision that I have ever made. I am very glad I went through it.

Terence F. - San Jose, California

Terence F. San Jose, California Four years ago I signed up to Film Connection’s mentor-apprentice program and I am so glad I did. I was given the opportunity to work alongside actual professionals and also to use the same gear as the pro’s use. Let’s get this clear, it was an apprenticeship and not an internship. I was not just used as a glorified coffee boy or laundry collector. I learned a craft that would ultimately transform my entire life. I now work at a film publishing house near Santa Clara, CA and I love it and would heartily recommend www.filmconnection.com to anyone.

Wesley T. - Fremont, California

Wesley T. Fremont, California Thanks to everyone at Film Connection, and especially my mentor, Terry, im well on my way to becoming a cinematographer in Hollywood. He has taught me just about everything he knows about film making, which is considerable i can tell you. He has been giving me regular assignments that i must complete, on time before i can progress. He is very motivational and constantly pushes and encourages me to go further. Next week he will be introducing me to various work associates and friends within the studio system. Hopefully it will pan out for me. Either way i am so glad i am doing this course. It is very worthwhile. Thank you www.filmconnection.com.

Todd H. - San Jose, California

Todd H. San Jose, California I'm doing what I believe I was put on this planet to do, that is to make films. This is thanks to the superb training I received from Film Connection, and more specifically my one on one mentor, Philip. His task was to teach me all the fundamentals of film making, but he went a lot further than that. He also taught me all those little things that often take many years to learn. He also advised me to enroll in a basic electronics workshop so that if any equipment decides to pack up, I would be better prepared to fix it or find a work around. For the last 3 years I have been working at a small production house near San Francisco and I can honestly say those 3 years have been the best of my life. If you have a love of film making and are eager to learn, why to go to www.filmconnection.com and see how they can help you.

Paolo U. Los Angeles, California So you want to work in film, do you also want to be in debt by 50-60 thousand dollars or maybe even more?

If the answer is no to these questions then it seems that you need to check Film Connection. It is not an intern, it is an apprenticeship. There is a vast difference between the two.

Stacey B. Lakewood, Colorado Making films is a dream come true. And while it may not always be a glamorous gig like a blockbuster movie, it is always fun and varied work. Thanks to the excellent training I received from Film Connection I have acquired the skillset necessary to make it in this dynamic industry. As I was more interested in the sound area of films, my mentor helped me to concentrate on that particular area. I learned just how important sound is to film and also the various ways sound can change a film. My mentor has also been kind enough to introduce me to vary people from the filmmaking industry that he knows. This course is definitely worth it if you are serious about working in film.

Paul C. - San Francisco, California

Paul C. San Francisco, California Twelve years ago I enrolled with Film Connection, it was the best decisions I have ever made. It gave me the knowledge and the confidence to work alongside the guys I have most admired. As well as teaching me the fundamentals of film making, it also taught me the little things that often take years to acquire. For the past 5 years I too have been mentoring for Film Connection. I just want to give a little something back after all it has given me. If you love the movie business and feel that you have a lot to give, why not do what I did and become a mentor. It’s very rewarding. I would like to say a big thank you to www.filmconnection.com.

Prakash S. - Ontario, California

Prakash S. Ontario, California I enrolled with Film Connection just over 7 years ago and I have to say that it was probably one of the wisest moves I ever made. From the moment I signed up I was looked after. I was assigned my very own mentor, whose task was to train me and do his best to get me working as soon as humanly possible. My mentor was great, he went through everything with me, gave me assignments to work on and introduced me to people he knew in the filmmaking industry. Thanks to them I was able to find work as a cinematographer at a major studio in Hollywood. I owe a major debt of gratitude to them for all the help and assistance they granted me. Thank you www.filmconnection.com.

Sudesh K. - Jersey City, New Jersey

Sudesh K. Jersey City, New Jersey I’ll keep this short and sweet. You want to make it into film? You have talent but no gear? You are highly motivated and hungry to succeed? If the answer is yes to the above, give Film Connection a call; I did and it was the best decision I have made. They provided me with a mentor, whose sole task was to do his utmost to get me into the film business. He trained me on everything. I was taken to actual film sets to not only see how it is done but also to assist the film crew with their tasks. This was electrifying as you can see just how things operate in the real world. I was assigned tasks that I had to complete on time before I could move on to the next one. I was hard work but well worth it. For just over a year I have been working full-time for my mentor and it has been great. If you really want a crack at filmmaking give www.filmconnection.com a call.

Richard M. - Seattle, Washington

Richard M. Seattle, Washington Thanks a lot to everyone at Film Connection; especially to my one-to-one mentor Andy. I have to be honest that I’m not a natural learner and I am so grateful that he persisted with me. He stuck with me when I felt that I might not make it. He had total confidence in me and that really motivated me. Next week I will be assisting in an actual film shoot for a commercial. I am really looking forward to that. I’m hoping that after I complete my course I will be able to find work making commercials, either locally or maybe even in Los Angeles. I am prepared to travel to where the work is. Thank you so much www.filmconnection.com and thank you Andy.

Terence R. - Raleigh, North Carolina

Terence R. Raleigh, North Carolina Just a quick thank you to wanted to everyone at Film Connection and especially to my mentor Anthony. He has been so inspirational and motivational to me. From the very beginning he explained that it would not be easy. However he has taught me so much and motivated me to such a degree that I am even more determined to succeed than I was before. He has even offered to take me to a film festival and introduce me to folks that he knows. I feel so privileged for that. Thank you www.filmconnection.com and thank you Anthony.

Roberto D. - Des Moines, Iowa

Roberto D. Des Moines, Iowa I just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Film Connection. They really helped me make a start in filmmaking and were totally upfront with me from the very beginning. They made it very clear that it would not be easy and that I would start from the very bottom of the ladder. There was no deception or candy coating. They also said that if I worked and studied hard I had the very real possibility of making it. This was honest and I respected them for that. My course was quite hard, there was a lot to take in but it was well worth it in my opinion. My mentor even managed to line up some interviews for me and now, I am working for a small production house just outside of Los Angeles. If you don’t mind working hard and have no illusions about what it will involve you should give www.filmconnection.com a call or email. You will not regret it.

Ben D. - Provost, Utah

Ben D. Provost, Utah Film is one of the most prestigious industries out there right now. The glitz of Hollywood, and of courses the Oscars and Emmys. This is why so many people want to work in this business. It’s also a very difficult industry to break into. It’s often a case of who you know as much as what you know. That is why I enrolled with Connection. As well as learning just about everything you need to know about film making, their mentors will also introduce you to people in the business, colleagues and acquaintances. These meetings can get you hooked up with some of the most professional individuals within the Hollywood studio system. My mentor has promised that if I keep working hard, studying and take on all the information he passes along to me that he will introduce me to the many professionals he knows in the system. This is a real motivational boost to me and makes me all the more eager and hungry to succeed. I have no regrets about signing up with www.filmconnection.com, thank you once again.

Bob P. - Portland, Oregon

Bob P. Portland, Oregon Thank you Film Connection for everything they have done me over the last 4-Months or so. They assigned me a personal mentor to train and assist me. There is nothing this guy doesn’t know. The great thing is he does not lose his cool when I screw up, in fact he says that mistakes are a part of learning. He sets me assignments which I must complete before I can progress to the next level. The course is very intensive, but definitely worthwhile. I recommend this program to anyone wishing to work in film. Thank you www.filmconnection.com.

I just would like to say thank you to Film Connection for everything they did for me. From my training right to and including finding me work in a great production house nearby. The course was tailor made for me and fit into my rather busy lifestyle. I worked evenings and weekends in a hotel, so being able to train during the day and other spare time was a godsend. My mentor really knew his stuff and was gracious enough to pass on his vast wealth of knowledge to me. He set tests and challenges for me to ensure that I was picking up all the information he was giving to me. After the course he recommended me to an acquaintance who has since taken me on full time. This really was the best decision I have ever made.

Thank you www.filmconnection.com.

I feel it’s only proper to say thank you to Film Connection. My course was custom made for me and my lifestyle. I work full time so my lessons would have to be scheduled in the evenings, weekends and any other spare time I had. They were happy to work this out for me, which was great because it meant that I did not have to quit my job or cut back on my hours. They also worked out an easy payment system with low interest rates which was just hat I needed. My mentor made sure that I learned all the fundamentals of filmmaking and a lot more besides. They even hooked me up with a small production company close to where I live. Thank you so much www.filmconnection.com.

The course was tailor made for me and was very comprehensive. My mentor made sure that I learned all the essentials of filmmaking and also those little things that often take years of working to acquire. He also worked tirelessly to make certain that I found a suitable job within the industry, and for that I am extremely grateful. I have no problems recommending them to anyone wanting to get into this business.

I recently completed a 6-month course with Film Connection and just wanted to give my opinion. I was supposed to enroll a year ago but due to some issues I was unable to commence the course. By the time I got round to enrolling I was informed that the cost of some of the materials had gone up. They were kind enough to honor the previous price, which came in very handy. It just goes to show that making money is not their main motivation, helping their students is it would seem. The course proved to be as worthwhile as I had been led to believe. It was definitely worthwhile and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks again www.filmconnection.com.

I have just finished my 6-Month program with Film Connection and have to say that it was probably the wisest decision I have ever made. They had a mentor-apprentice program that was tailored for me. I was trained in all aspects of sound design (my chosen field) and worked alongside actual working professionals and not college professors. They have even arranged a number of interviews with various production houses in and around my hometown of San Diego. With the training I have received and my mentors recommendations I am sure to land a decent job very soon. Thanks once again www.filmconnection.com.

If you want to work in film and don’t mind starting at the bottom then you should contact Film Connection. They have a mentor-apprentice program that is tailored for each student’s individual needs. They will arrange a meeting with you to discuss what it is you hope to achieve in the course as well as giving the prospective student and his mentor a chance to get to know a little about each other. They will find out exactly what area you are most suited to. You are not committed to enroll and if you are not 100% happy you can just walk away. Only if you are totally happy will things progress. Why not give them an email at www.filmconnection.com and see if they can help you.

If you posses a love for film, have some talent and are keen and ambitious why not give Film Connection a call. They have a real passion for movie making and will happily share that passion with you. The 6-month programs they hold will teach you all the essentials of filmmaking and also many of the little secrets it often takes year to acquire. Their mentors are some of the best in the business and are actually working professionals and not stuffy lecturers. You will work on actual sets using the most up-to-date equipment available. Do bear in mind that there will be a lot to take in and you must be prepared to start on the bottom rung of the ladder. If you expect instant fame and fortune you will be disappointed.

People told me that I needed a degree from a fully accredited university if I was to be taken seriously in this business. Thanks to Film Connection, I have dispelled that myth. The training I received as part of their 6-month mentor/ apprentice program was more than enough to get my foot in the door. Combine this with a willingness to learn and lots of hard work and now I am working as a Foley artist for a major studio in Hollywood. They did not care about diplomas; they cared more for an enthusiasm to work and a eagerness to learn new technologies. Don’t let others put you off doing what you long to do, make up your own mind, you wont regret it. Thanks again www.filmconnection.com.

Thanks a lot Film Connection for helping me make the move into film, and in particular advertising. 10 years ago I completed my program with them and almost immediately I found rewarding and very lucrative work making commercials and infomercials. Thanks to them I also found the love of my life, Jules whilst I was training. She was the secretary at the place I was training at. It was pretty much love at first site. I do a fair bit of traveling as part of my job but Jules understands that I am doing something I was meant to do. The training I received was top of the line and I am so grateful for them for this. Thanks again www.filmconnection.com.

Thank you Film Connection so much for all the help that was given to my daughter, Melissa during her time on your program. She learned so much whilst on the course. She says that everything she picked up was relevant to working as a DP in film. Thanks to the training she received and also the assistance she received from her mentor she was able to find work in a studio in Hollywood. Although she is far from home, she is exactly where she wants to be. She is so pleased with the training she received that she wishes to become a mentor herself when she becomes a little more established. She wants to help others just like she was helped. Thank you www.filmconnection.com once again.

Thank youI Film Connection for all the help that I received from you over the last 6-months or so. Even after I completed the course, successfully I might add they continued to help me, even finding me a position within a small local film house. This is perfect for me as I would much rather work for a smaller studio than be a small cog in a very large studio wheel. My mentor taught me everything he knew about sound design and this is the reason the studio hired me. Thank you www.filmconnection.com.
