About the Entertainment Connection, continued

“I started getting my first breaks within six months of starting the Entertainment Connection Film School in the year 2000. It is much more practical and real world than traditional film schools. I did my first two shorts the first year, and then got a great job as a production coordinator. Today, I have directed my first full length feature film which is in Target, WalMart, and Hollywood Video and is being distributed by York Entertainment. I am now a mentor in New York City for Entertainment Connection and have my own production company.” –Derek Cohen
