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

Do you want to be the next Quentin Tarantino? Do you live in Cheyenne? Do you have a drive for success and glory?

Well, then the Film Connection Film School in Cheyenne, WY can help you.

We match young aspiring filmmakers with seasoned industry pros who can help them navigate the quagmire of Hollywood.

We team you up with a screenwriter, an editor, and two different mentors. And the coolest part? They’re all working on your idea. That’s right. You’re not working for them. They work for you. Their talents are being put to use bringing your big idea to fruition.

You need to evaluate the state of the industry. The only way you’re breaking into the industry is if you know someone. The traditional film school doesn’t introduce you to people. It just helps you understand what’s been done before. But what’s the point of that? We’re blazing a new trail here. We want to go into the future. Upwards and onwards, right?

Film Connection gets you in the right place at the right time. Film Connection opens doors. Film Connection steers you toward success. Pure and simple.
