This isn’t a boring Watertown film school classroom. This isn’t an overcrowded college laboratory. This is life. Real Life. YOUR LIFE.

It takes years to get a meeting with filmmaking professionals. You’ll do it in 8 months or less. Thanks to West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce Film Connection, you’ll get your very own industry contacts who will mentor you through your areas of concentration. Spend six months learning all the behind the scenes action or eight months writing, directing, and editing your own project. Both tracks supply a local pro to guide you, but only the directors program offers what no film education can: a pitch meeting during a week-long Los Angeles trip. This chance is rare for even the most connected Hollywood players and we’ve customized it just for you! Apply today!

Don’t Spend More on your Film Education if You Don’t Have to

Located along Florida’s gold coast, the cities of West Palm Beach and Ft. Pierce have a combined population of nearly 150,000, but they are set near a larger metropolitan area of over 5 million. The number of film schools in West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce is scarce compared to other parts of the world; however, there are several film or television production companies here, and the gorgeous ocean views, warm climate and close proximity to other filming hotspots like Orlando and Miami make this an excellent central location for location filming. If you are considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, the West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce area is an excellent choice for you–especially if you prefer the beauty of Florida without wanting to relocate to Orlando, Miami, New York or L.A.
