Production School in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

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).

You don’t have to go into extreme debt to go to Film Production and Audio Engineering School

We can train you in a real recording studio for far less. Play it smart–get on the inside track, and get connected as you get educated. Our film recording school is a highly effective and affordable way to start your film engineering career.

Situated on the northern shores of Lake Superior in northwest Ontario, the city of Thunder Bay anchors a metro population of around 120,000 people. As such, it serves as a business and cultural hub for the region, which includes an active film scene with a diversity of genres represented. While larger acts and cultural events can regularly be seen playing at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium, smaller acts can be found almost any night of the week in some of the more popular smaller venues such as Kilroy’s and Black Pirates Pub.

Thunder Bay has produced several noteworthy and successful filmians over the years, including folk singer Ian Tamblyn, early rock idol Bobby Curtola, Golden Dogs bandmates Dave Azzolini and Jessica Grassia, and perhaps most notably, songwriter/bandleader Paul Shaffer, longtime sidekick for TV show host David Letterman.
