Film is the ultimate artistic medium. It combines all of the best elements of the other mediums and has none of their weak spots.

Film is the ultimate form of artistic expression.

It’s also the most difficult to become involved in. How do you meet people? Where do you start?

The Film Connection Film School in Parkersburg, West Virginia. That’s where you start.

The Film Connection wants to help you make the movies you want to make. We want to facilitate your desires. We know that finding an “in” is really hard. And that’s where we come in.

We team you up with working industry pros that will help guide and assist you in all of your creative endeavors.

You need to evaluate where things are. Traditional film schools don’t help you find work. They don’t prepare you for work. And they don’t help you make the movies that you want to make.

The Film Connection does all three.
