Film Directing
So you want to be a Film Director?
Well, you're not alone. The Film Director is one of the most coveted jobs in the world. As a result, it is one of the hardest fields to break into, much less be successful at. Now wait, we're not trying to talk you out of your dreams. If you've got the hunger to make it as a filmmaker, hold onto it- It's vital to your success.
Film Directing is intense, cutthroat competitive, and pressure-filled, but if you are successful, it can be one of the most rewarding ways to satisfy your creativity and make a nice living.
This is why each year thousands of students apply to film school and are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to pursue their dream. The problem is, this is the 21st century, not 1985. The market is saturated, and there are too many students with not enough filmmaking jobs to go around.
Each year, only a handful of new directors actually break in to the film business and forge a career as a film director. What that means is the odds are NOT in your favor, which is why you should approach your film school options with the precision of a surgeon. Don't get us wrong, we're not saying you can't overcome these odds, but to do that you need one thing more than anything else, connections, connections, connections. And from day one that is exactly what we help you to achieve. That's why we're called the Film Connection. Have you ever wondered why no other film school preaches connections? Because they don't have them- we do.
Why are connections so important? Ask Quentin Tarantino- the man is a brilliant film director, no doubt. But, without connections, he'd probably still be working at a video store. Tarantino had the connections necessary to plug him in to the million dollars he needed to make his first film, Reservoir Dogs. Do you?
