In the Film Connection for Film Production & Editing program, you will study directing, producing and screenwriting as you develop your movie idea with a professional filmmaker. Then, upon meeting the necessary requirements, you will be given the opportunity to fly to Los Angeles or New York and pitch your film idea to an executive who could buy or get your movie made.
Film Production & Editing DetailsIn the Film Connection for Cinematography program, you will learn the techniques involved in capturing a moving image and will start to develop “the eye of the DP.” The cinematographer is literally the set ‘magician.’ DPs are responsible for the technological wizardry required to get the needed shots and to shape light to achieve the director’s desired artistic effect.

Located in the Florida panhandle, Tallahassee is the state capital of Florida, hosting a combined metro population of around 360,00 people. Tallahassee is also a major college town, home to Florida State University and several other prominent colleges. While the number of film schools in Tallahassee pales in comparison to other hotspots like Los Angeles, New York or Orlando, the city has served as a filming location for major motion pictures, and several film or television production companies make their home here. Tallahassee is also home to its own popular annual film festival, and lots of short films are made here on a regular basis. If you want a filmmaking career as a film director, film producer, film editor, or cameraman, but prefer a smaller locale to the craziness of the typical filmmaking hotspots, Tallahasee is a surprising alternative to relocation.
Some of the movies that have been filmed in Tallahassee and surrounding regions include Something Wild, Night Falls on Manhattan, The Truman Show, G.I. Jane, Lonely Hearts, and even classics like Creature from the Black Lagoon and Rebel Without a Cause.
FILM CONNECTION Film School of Tallahassee offers an inexpensive, six month course that hooks you up with a working film or television professional who serves as your personal instructor and mentor, giving you hands-on experience with real film or video shoots. Along the way, you will make vital connections with other professionals in the film business, the very people who do the hiring. Many FILM CONNECTION graduates get hired before or shortly after graduation. You deserve to check out our film school alternative and see what we can do for you!
The Film Connection film school alternative is endorsed by filmmakers who are making movies, maybe even the movies you love.
Professionals in the film business—including famous producers, screenwriters and directors—endorse Film Connection’s programs for one simple reason: they know our real-world method works.
