Learn Film Production Close to Home with a Kansas Film Industry Insider

The best part is, you don’t have to relocate to Los Angeles to get started in a film industry career, because we can teach you right where you live! Do you doubt us? You’d be surprised at how many major motion pictures have been filmed in Kansas over the years.

Here are just a few of them:

  • Dances With Wolves (1990)
  • Terms of Endearment (1983)
  • Paper Moon (1973)
  • Picnic (1955)
  • Mars Attacks! (1996)
  • Twister (1989)
  • Friday Night Lights (2004)

In addition to these examples, Kansas has a thriving film scene of its own, with dozens of film festivals throughout the state—not to mention major TV productions like ABC Family’s “Switched At Birth” that regularly film here. Many of these productions rely on local talent, and by placing you as a working extern in a Kansas film production company, we give you the chance to make the industry connections that other film students simply never get.

Explore our Innovative Film Programs and Courses in Kansas. Get on a Streamlined Path to the Film Industry.

Your mentor will guide you one-on-one through our film curriculum, and you’ll get plenty of hands-on experience working with your mentor on real film projects. Whatever your particular interest (whether production, cinematography, post-production, etc.), we have mentors that specialize in these areas who can show you the ropes. And if your goal is to break into Hollywood, we can help with that, too: your curriculum will guide you through the process of developing your own film idea, and then we’ll arrange for you to pitch your film actual Hollywood executives! (They don’t call us the “Film Connection” for nothing.)

Don’t be fooled by other film schools that charge you ridiculous tuition rates, forcing you into crushing student debt that could kill your career before it even starts. We’ll put you on-the-job from the very first day of your training—not one single day sitting in classroom—and we’ll charge you 75% LESS than the other guys. That way, you can focus on what’s important—your film career—rather than worrying about how you’re going to pay your debt.

The Kansas Film Connection is the only film school that pairs you with a working film professional for on-the-job training. We’re the only school that puts you in the film industry so you can make real industry connections while the other film school students are sitting in their classrooms. And we do it for a fraction of what the other film schools charge! What are you waiting for? If you’re serious about a film career, you owe it to yourself to check us out!
