Our Chicago Film Industry Mentors Help you Build Real World Connections

If you’re considering a Chicago film school, you’ve probably looked at your options and wondered what makes the Chicago Film Connection different. After all, there are a lot of schools out there vying for your attention. So what sets us apart? In short, it’s our connections. Because we work directly with Chicago-based filmmakers and production companies, we can tap into the local infrastructure in ways that most educational institutions can’t. This may be the most invaluable part of our programs.

Our mentors are already established in Chicago, so they’ve worked with many of the key players in the industry. And while we won’t say it’s impossible to break into the biz without a little help, filmmakers are very particular with who they work with. They prefer known entities over inexperienced ones. That’s where our programs give you a leg up. You’ll graduate from our program with not only a strong reel and portfolio, but also with the connections you need to get your foot in the door.
