Learn film production in Idaho directly from an industry pro, in the real world, not a classroom. One-on-one mentorship. Build Industry Connections and Gain Real Experience.
The Film Connection in Idaho is not only the best film school in the state, but it offers you opportunities that no other film school can provide. With our unique mentor-extern approach, you will not spend a single day in a college or trade school classroom. Instead, you’ll be placed in a real film production company as an extern, learning one-on-one from a seasoned film professional as you participate in real productions. This gives you the chance to connect to the industry directly while you learn, giving you a solid advantage over other film school graduates when job openings arise.
Whether you want to train to become a film editor, cinematographer or screenwriter, or whether your ambition is to pitch your own film to Hollywood, the Idaho Film Connection is the place to start!
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
