Production School in Salem, Oregon

We took that old stale classroom concept, rebuilt and upgraded it by putting your classroom in a professional recording studio. Then we emptied out all the other students and left only YOU and YOUR TEACHER (yay for one-on-one learning!) who happens to be a pro film producer (with killer credits) to train you privately (at your pace, full time, part time, nights or weekends available).

Live film can regularly be heard in venues such as Wasteland and The IKE Box. Notable filmians with ties to Salem and the surrounding area include singer/songwriter Meredith Brooks, legendary fingerstyle guitarist John Fahey, ska band The W’s, and the late Larry Norman, considered by many to be the ‘Father of Christian Rock.’
