Film Connection in Baltimore provides unique, real-world learning opportunities for aspiring filmmakers. Unlike traditional filmmaking schools, Film Connection immerses you directly into the industry, by pairing you with a mentor who is already an established filmmaker. You learn first-hand from your mentor how to create both narrative and non-narrative films, while also getting exposed to the network of contacts that comes along with established film professionals.
In a traditional school, you’re usually sitting in a classroom, listening to what the teacher has to say, waiting for your turn with other students to get your hands on the equipment or to talk to the teacher. With the Film Connection film school Baltimore, there are no other students, there is no classroom, and there isn’t a teacher. Three’s you, your mentor, and the set, location, or production company.
In addition to providing access to mentorship and hands-on experience in the film industry, Film Connection also offers courses on topics such as scriptwriting, directing, producing, and editing. This gives aspiring filmmakers the tools they need to create successful projects in a fraction of the time it would take otherwise. The courses can also be completed remotely so that students can work at their own pace regardless of their other commitments.
And you can do it all without leaving your hometown. Attending a “name” university may require you to uproot your life, spend money to move, and spend time looking for a place to live while figuring out how you’re going to pay for everything. With a film school in Baltimore, your life remains unchanged–at least until you finish one of our programs.
The benefits of studying with Film Connection in Baltimore go far beyond just learning from your mentor and taking courses; you have the opportunity to make meaningful connections throughout the local film community. Either through your mentor, the people that you’ll be working with on the set, and other industry people that you may be introduced to during your time with Film Connection.
These are the connections that can help you find work after completing a program or can help you complete your project. The film industry can be a tight-knit community, so it can be hard to find your way in. With our Baltimore film school, you’re already on the inside, learning the right ways to make films, and getting a chance to impress others every day.
What sets Film Connection apart from other filmmaking schools is its commitment to providing students with real-world opportunities rather than just theoretical knowledge. With a focus on professional development and practical experience, you’ll finish Film Connection programs well-prepared for a career in filmmaking or television production – complete with industry contacts and relevant portfolio pieces showcasing your achievements.
Thanks in large part to Film Connections’ supportive environment, many graduates go on to launch successful careers within Baltimore’s thriving film industry. Ultimately, studying at Film Connection can provide aspiring filmmakers with valuable insight into how the business works – allowing you to learn more quickly than they might otherwise have been able to do on your own – while also making important connections within the industry.
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
