Learn film production in Michigan directly from an industry pro, in the real world, not a classroom. One-on-one mentorship. Build Industry Connections and Gain Real Experience.
Welcome to the only film school in Michigan that will actually connect you to the film industry! The Film Connection in Michigan creates opportunities that no other film school can offer. Instead of placing you in a college or trade school classroom with a bunch of other students, we put you in the heart of the action, in a real film production company, where you will learn one-on-one from a real film professional. Your classes occur on-the-job and on the set, giving you the chance to connect to the film industry while the other film school students are still sitting in those classrooms. Whether you want to work in film as a cinematographer, editor, producer or screenwriter, or whether you want to go all the way to Hollywood to pitch your own film, the Michigan Film Connection is the place to start!
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

I got great movie recommendations that gave me many creative influences. My mentor gave constructive feedback on my script. I learned about how to work on a film set and collaborate with other art departments. I enjoyed my experience with Film Connection.
