AUSTIN FILM SCHOOL BY THE AUSTIN FILM CONNECTION
Your AUSTIN, TEXAS FILM SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE
While there is more than one Austin Film School to chose from, there is only one that gets you inside an actual Austin film production company, working as a film student apprentice while you learn directing, producing, editing, camera, screenwriting or general production. Make no mistake, the smartest way to break into the film business in Austin, Texas is from inside an Austin film production company as a film apprentice--and that's where FILM CONNECTION comes in.
Why spend upwards of 10-50 thousand dollars to go to film school at a film trade school when you can spend far less money and go to film school in a real production company? Play it smart, take the inside track, learn directly from the pros. Our film school alternative is the smartest, most cost efficient film program available.

AUSTIN is the state capital of TEXAS and the 52nd largest DMA in the U.S. The city, home to the University of Texas, relishes its little town bigness. The city's official slogan, "The Live Music Capital of the World", reflects the large music culture that has grown up in Austin. The long running PBS Show Austin City Limits is testimony to Austin's love affair with music, which is as diverse as the makeup of its student population.
Feature films have found a friendly locale in Austin. In fact, over 580 films, TV shows and series have been made in Austin, according to IMDB.
