This isn’t a boring Corpus Christi film school classroom. This isn’t an overcrowded college laboratory. This is life. Real Life. YOUR LIFE.

Did you know that there’s a low-cost alternative to the expensive traditional film school in Corpus Christi, TX? It’s called The Film Connection and it’s going to blow your mind.

Are you an aspiring filmmaker who dreams of changing the face of cinema? Well, now you can. Film Connection is an externship program that pairs aspiring filmmakers with working film professionals.

The Film Connection is what film schools should be. It’s a hands-on learning environment where you gain the skills and experience that you’ll need to make the movies that you want to make. Traditional film schools are expensive and dogmatic. We get it, German Expressionism was crazy and the French New Wave changed everything. Awesome. Let’s move on. Let’s do something new and original.

Let’s have students make movies about what’s important to them.
