Production School in Silver Lake, California

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).

Silver Lake is a trendy, edgy and hip neighborhood in Los Angeles. It’s been a magnet for Los Angeles’ alternative and indie rock groups for decades. The Satellite venue is a mainstay for both local and established indie artists—it’s where Beck, Silversun Pickups and Patrick Park first got established.

If you are passionate about film, especially alternative and indie rock, the Film Connection is geared to help you turn that passion into a career. Our disruptive mentor/extern model of film education is designed to teach the real-world skills and requirements that can hone your chops and open the doors to success. Granted that’s a bold statement and will only be possible if you are involved and on-board with what the Film Connection programs will demand of you.
