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.

I just wanted to say thank you to film connection for their consideration. I had originally signed up for one of their 6 month programs. I paid my initial deposit, however due to a family emergency I was unable to commence the course. I contacted them straight away, explaining my situation and less than 24 hours later my full deposit was paid back to me. This is great customer care, and I am determined that as soon as possible I would like to recommence my course. Thanks www.filmconnection.com for your understanding. You have not lost a customer, but you have gained a very willing client who will be back as soon as humanly possible.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to film connection for all they have done for me. I enrolled into their program 3 years ago and thanks to their excellent tailor made curriculum and excellent mentor I was very quickly able to find lucrative work as a grip in Los Angeles. As I am originally from Orange County, the move was not too great and well worth it. For anyone seriously wishing to get started in the film making business do your research, renew your library membership and contact www.filmconnection.com. Or you can take you chance pounding the pavements looking for work.

I have been making documentaries in Hollywood for the past 5 years, thanks to film connection. I enrolled into their program and my mentor managed to turn me from an eager wannabe film maker into a prolific film maker with a respected reputation in the business. He not only taught me how to make movies, but also how to balance the books and communicate with clients and staff. Without all this help I would have been pretty useless in the job, a job that earns me a very respectful wage. So thank you again www.filmconnection.com for helping me.

Thank you film connection for helping me start in this fantastic industry. They immediately got me working as a foley artist on a couple of New York Television projects. The experience I gained was invaluable and this was only just the beginning. Within weeks I was doing solo projects for the sound department. This was truly a dream come true. I still have 6 weeks to go on my program and I hope to get a full time job locally in New York, my mentor is confident that I will get a suitable position. Thanks again www.filmconnection.com for helping me.
