Film Careers Making Drama Movies

From classic films like Gone With the Wind, It’s a Wonderful Life and Twelve Angry Men to more modern classics such as On Golden Pond, Schindler’s List, Titanic or The Help, feature film dramas have captivated and moved audiences for decades. Dramatic films tell compelling stories, make us think, and most of all, make us feel.

Whether you want to be a famous producer like Jerry Bruckheimer or Robert Zemeckis, or a director like Steven Spielberg or James Cameron, if you want to be a dramatic filmmaker, you’re going to need to know the inner workings of the film industry. The most effective way you can learn these things is by being a student apprentice through the Film Connection. We place you in a real film production company with a seasoned film professional who knows the film business inside and out, and who will mentor you one-on-one in all aspects of the filmmaking process. You’ll learn film by actually working on film projects, you’ll learn how to shoot and edit film on the latest equipment and software, and you’ll have the chance to make valuable connections with other film professionals along the way.
