We want each and every one of our veterans turned film engineers or film producers to excel in our industry-oriented programs.
The Film Connection knows that life after military service can be a difficult transition. Reintegrating into society can be an arduous task. That’s one of the reasons that we have a mentorship system in place. It helps you, the returning veteran, learn how to interact with individuals in the film industry. Your mentor can even introduce you to people who work in the industry, from record executives to recording artists, to downright famous producers, you could have the opportunity of meeting people who make film for a living while you’re training as an apprentice (extern) to a pro in the studio.
The Film Connection respects the tremendous commitment and dedication women and men in our armed services have demonstrated in service to our country. We want to show our thanks and appreciation by helping honorably discharged or currently active military personnel build thriving careers they’re really excited about.
Some of our graduates have gone on to become film directors, script writers, and production company owners. Others are creating and producing their own films across genres like documentary, drama, comedy, action, and animation
