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

L.A. and New York are the only places for quality film schools, right? Nope. We’ve got your ticket to your movies right here. We’re the Film Connection Film School in Greenville, North Carolina, and our courses unite aspiring filmmakers with local professionals in a unique mentor dynamic that’s turning the industry on its head! If there’s a specific focus that you’d like to delve into, you can do it with our 6-month Cinematography program. You’ll be honing your personal project with a local mentor who will meet with you in their studio or production house. More adventurous filmmakers may want to consider the complete package, our 8-month Film Production & Editing Program which includes training in directing, producing, editing, and even screenwriting. In the longer program, you’ll even work with a screenplay mentor, a seasoned Hollywood writer, director, producer, or development professional who will help you get your original idea down in screenplay format and ready to pitch. Ordinary film schools or film programs just don’t offer the in-industry, direct mentor-led education we do. Make professional connections, grow real industry smarts, and get to build your career in film!
