Salt Lake City has become an exciting hub of art, culture, and film! Whether you are moving to The Crossroads of the West for the beautiful views and relaxed way of life or are a local, we’re here to propel you towards a career in the film industry. At Film Connection, we strive to give you the tools and experience you need to turn your aspirations into reality.

Let our pros take you under their wing for a mentorship program that will challenge and guide you towards the career you’ve always wanted.

TO PROVE OUR POINT, HERE’S A SHORT LIST OF SOME MAJOR MOTION PICTURES SHOT ON LOCATION RIGHT HERE IN ALABAMA:

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
Sweet Home Alabama (2002)
Failure to Launch (2006)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Big Fish (2003)
Mississippi Burning (1988)
Oculus (2013)

As you can see, both major studios and independent filmmakers frequently come to Alabama to shoot footage, partly due to generous incentives offered by the state. Many of these film productions use local talent to help them with location filming, and that’s where externing in an Alabama studio can give you larger connections to the film industry. And the Alabama Film Connection can put you in direct contact with these opportunities where other film schools fall short.

How do we do it? Our film externship program places you as a working extern in a real production company, pairs you with a film professional in your particular area of interest (e.g., screenwriting, editing, cinematography, directing, etc.), and provides a structured curriculum to guide the process. Yes, you’ll have some reading and homework, but where you’ll really learn the ropes is working on-the-job alongside your mentor, who teaches you one-on-one. And if your dream is to make your own films, your curriculum will be geared around helping you develop your own film idea, then pitching it directly to Hollywood executives when you graduate! Name one other film school that does this! (You can’t—we’re the only one.)

And here’s yet another advantage: how would you like to get this kind of training without going into debt? Thanks to our low tuition rates, you can. Other film schools charge outrageous tuition rates for the privilege of sitting in the classroom; we provide on-the-job training and get you in the door of the film industry, and we do it for about 75 PERCENT LESS than the other guys!

From Mobile to Muscle Shoals, and from Birmingham to Montgomery, the Alabama Film Connection partners with actual film professionals across the state to provide externship opportunities you can’t find at any other school. Are you ready to get started? CLICK HERE to apply for free.
