Learn film production in New Mexico directly from an industry pro, in the real world, not a classroom. One-on-one mentorship. Build Industry Connections and Gain Real Experience.
If you’re serious about breaking into the film industry, The New Mexico Film Connection is the smartest choice you can make. We are hands-down the best film school in the state because we put you in the heart of the action from your very first day of training. Unlike other film schools that stick you in a crowded campus classroom, we place you as a working extern inside a real film production company, where all your classes occur on-the-job and on the set with an actual film professional. You’ll get a firsthand look at how the business really works; you’ll gain valuable work experience on real film productions; and you’ll connect with and build a rapport with lots of industry professionals you’d never meet sitting in that classroom. Whether you want to be a cinematographer, film editor or screenwriter, or whether you want to go all the way to Hollywood to direct your own films, the New Mexico 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
