Don’t Spend More on your Film Education if You Don’t Have to

Jackson is the state capital of Mississippi, as well as its largest city, hosting a population of nearly 175,000, and anchoring a metro area of over a half million. Named for Andrew Jackson, the nation’s seventh president, the city has historical significance as a strategic location in the Civil War, and later as a major player in the Civil Rights Movement. Jackson is home to several film or television production companies, and with its warm climate and accessibility to the Mississippi River and the Gulf coast, it serves as a good central hub for location filming. If you’re looking at a film career as a director, editor, producer, or otherwise, Jackson has plenty of opportunities for you to learn without having to relocate elsewhere.
