Film Production School in Columbus – Tupelo – West Point

Our Columbus Film Industry Mentors Help you Build Real World Connections

Located in northeastern Mississippi, the neighboring cities of Columbus, Tupelo, and West Point anchor a greater metropolitan area spanning several counties with a combined population of over 200,000 people. Tupelo in particular is widely remembered as the birthplace of rock legend Elvis Presley. This area has a warm climate and miles of countryside, and is within driving distance of major cities such as Mobile, Nashville, and Memphis, making it ideal for a diversity of filming locations. Although film schools are scarce here (except for ours, of course), there are several production companies that call this area home. If you are considering a career in filmmaking as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, the Columbus-Tupelo-West Point area provides a surprising alternative to going to film school elsewhere.
