Don’t Spend More on your Film Education if You Don’t Have to

With Film Connection you get industry-oriented assignments and direct training with your mentor. You also have remote lessons with your screenwriting mentor, a professional, experienced screenwriter who works with you on your idea so that you can learn, firsthand, what it takes to develop an idea into a solid story concept, then bring that concept to the page, and ultimately, into the minds of the pros who read it. Beyond reaching “The End,” our Film Connection for Film Production & Editing Program will even show you how to copywrite that screenplay, pitch it, and more.

Our Lexington Film Industry Mentors Help you Build Real World Connections

Lexington is Kentucky’s second largest city, anchoring a metropolitan area of nearly half a million people. Perhaps best known for its equestrian industry, Lexington is often called the Horse Capital of the World. Numerous entertainment industry people have hailed from this area, including singer Naomi Judd (and her daughter Ashley Judd, the actress), filmians Vince Gill and Troy Gentry, and actors Steve Zahn and Jim Varney (better known as the comical character Ernest). With plenty of beautiful natural scenery within driving distance, close proximity to cities like Cincinnati and Louisville, and lots of film activity around, Lexington makes a good alternative for aspiring film producers, film directors and film editors who would rather not relocate to the craziness of southern California.

Learn the skills you need to take your idea from paper to the big screen.
