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

Film school shouldn’t cost you your life savings. Now it won’t because Springfield Film Connection is here to help you. If you’re interested in working behind the scenes, our 6-month program is right up your alley. After selecting a production facet that interests you, we’ll pair you up with local filmmaking professionals in that area that will meet with you at their studios or production houses. We’ve also got our 8-month directors track, which lets you collaborate with local mentors and dream mentors in Los Angeles. At the conclusion of this program, you will fly out to L.A. to pitch your idea before an industry executive. You’ll have industry contacts and real-world filmmaking experience. No other school can offer that.
