While there’s a lot of interest in the film industry, people who are looking to build a career for themselves in film or television often end up asking, “Where do you start when you’re trying to break into the film industry?” It can be a difficult question to answer. When it comes to becoming gainfully employed working in film production, television, or new media, knowing the right people i.e. people who are actively working in the industry can be hard to do. In fact, many film school graduates who live in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, or other filmmaking hubs throughout the United States might have a hard-earned degree yet they never actually find their “in” and get their face and name known to the very same people who do the hiring, who produce, line produce, crew, or simply have a lot of contacts who are calling them, looking to hire the crewmembers for upcoming shoots.
By the end of our program, you’ll have a full-length feature screenplay, two polished scenes, and a trailer for a feature film.

Located in south-central Kentucky, the town of Bowling Green hosts a population of over 55,000 people. Although relatively small in size, this is a fast-growing community, having grown by nearly 15 percent in the past decade, despite the recession. The beauty of the surrounding natural scenery, as well as close proximity to the Appalachians and major cities like Cincinnati and Nashville, make Bowling Green a good spot for location filming. If you want to become a film director, film editor, or film producer, Bowling Green can be a surprising alternative to relocation to other areas like New York or L.A.–and Film Connection can help.
