Are you an aspiring filmmaker who has a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for success? Then The Victoria Film Connection wants you to enroll. The Film Connection is a cost and time-effective way to get the ball rolling on a career in film.
The Film Connection is an apprentice-based program where you are paired with currently working professional filmmakers who will teach you the ins and outs of the industry.
During the program, you’ll be working on the project that you’ve always dreamed of making. You’ll be working with a screenwriter to nail down the characters and plot elements of your story. You’ll be working with a Mentor who will show you the best way to convey your message. And you’ll be working with an editor who will help you to cut the footage together.
Traditional film schools are expensive and they don’t get you jobs. That’s just the plain fact of the matter.
Film Connection gets you in the room with the people who matter and teaches you the skills to impress them.
Victoria, Texas is a small town of about 60,000 people located near the southern coast of Texas. Despite its small size, Victoria enjoys the benefit of location, being within 30 miles of the scenic Gulf coast and conveniently close to several major cities, including Houston, San Antonio, and Austin–making it an ideal place not only for diverse filming locations but strategically close to a large amount of filming activity. If you are considering a career in film as a film director, film producer, film editor, or otherwise–but would rather avoid living in the big city–Victoria provides a pleasant alternative with plenty of opportunities to learn.
Many major movies, TV shows, and documentaries are filmed all over Texas on a regular basis, including in and around Victoria. Some of the movies that have been filmed in Victoria and surrounding areas include The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Armageddon, Friday Night Lights, Blood Simple, Spy Kids, and Miss Congeniality, just to name a few.
With its close proximity to so much production activity, Victoria provides aspiring film students with a great connection point to make industry contacts with film professionals. FILM CONNECTION of Victoria helps you make those connections by placing you with a working film or television professional who personally instructs you, giving you valuable hands-on experience during real film and video shoots. Before you’re finished, you’ll be well-connected yourself; in fact, over 70 of our graduates get hired, often before they are finished with their studies. Enroll today, and let us get you started!
Some of our graduates have gone on to become film directors, script writers, and production company owners. Others are creating and producing their own films across genres like documentary, drama, comedy, action, and animation
