Production School in Waterbury, Connecticut

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.

Hosting a population of just over 110,000 along the banks of the Naugatuck River, Waterbury, CT earned its nickname “The Brass City” due to its prominence in brass manufacturing during the first half of the 20th century. Today, Waterbury is known for its historic buildings, diverse neighborhoods and small-town vibe, even while maintaining an active film scene that remains connected to the greater New York City metro area.
