Get Hands-On Mentorship at our New Jersey Film Production School. Learn from Industry Insiders.

The New Jersey Film Connection is hands-down the best film school in the state, offering you the chance to connect to the film industry in ways no other film school can. How? Simple: instead of sticking you in a classroom with a bunch of other film students, we put you in a real film production facility as a working extern, where you’re taught one-on-one by an actual film industry professional. While those other film students are sitting in their classrooms, you’re gaining valuable work experience, making real industry connections, and generally becoming an “insider,” which gives you a real advantage when job openings occur.

Let’s face it: if you really want to be a cinematographer, film editor, film producer, director or professional screenwriter, you have to have more than just an education. You need CONNECTIONS, and that only happens by getting involved in real film productions. That’s why our film school gives you the edge: by the time those other film students graduate and start knocking on the doors, you’ll already be inside the door! In fact, if you play your cards right, you’ll be the one opening the door to tell them the job is taken—by you.
