Boston is a city that loves its media and provides plenty of opportunities for those looking to further a career in the entertainment industry. But producers and studios want real-world experience. And we feel no other film school puts you as close to the action as the Film Connection Film School in Boston.
What better way to learn the film or tv business than on-the-job, working on a real-world production, show, or series? You’ll be paired up with local mentors, filmmaking professionals who will guide your personal project and can help you get that toehold in the industry. And you’ll pay just a fraction of what you'd pay for a four-year university or “name” school.
Our film courses in Boston are offered in real Boston production companies, giving you a first-hand look at how the media is made. But while we feel being on the set is the best way to learn about film production, it’s not the only way to get facetime with one of our mentors. For decades, Film Connection has been offering remote learning to externs, giving them a direct link to the mentors of their choice.
As we all know, commitments can often get in the way of pursuing a career that we truly want. With our virtual programs, you’ll still get the guidance you need from one of our experienced mentors. This also means you aren’t limited to Boston mentors, either. Film Connection is located in more than 40 states and such entertainment hubs as Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and, yes, even New York.
When looking for a cinematography school in Boston, you want to make sure you're learning from the best. One of the reasons the Film Connection model is so successful is our mentors. We look for experience, communication, and a desire to work with the next generation of directors, producers, cinematographers, and more. They have to be as passionate about teaching as they are about filmmaking.
You’ll have access to the gear, get immediate feedback, and have your questions answered as soon as you ask them when learning from our Boston mentors. They know what it takes to make it in the industry and they’re ready to give you an insider’s look at the business.
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.
