Get Real World Film Production Experience in Detroit

With tuition rates that are a fraction of the cost of traditional four-year universities and remote-learning opportunities that allow you to work with your own schedules more easily, the Detroit Film School offers an affordable alternative to obtaining a quality education. The tuition rates at four-year universities can be exorbitant, especially when you factor in the costs associated with living in an expensive city like Los Angeles or New York.

With the Film Connection Detroit Film School, however, you don’t need to worry about those costs since there’s no need to uproot your life and move away from home. Instead, you can stay right where you are and pay just a fraction of what you would pay at a four-year university. That way, you can save money on tuition and still get a quality education without having to make costly lifestyle changes.
