I really enjoyed my program with the film connection. Through trying to gather different ways to remain educated while at a price that’s affordable, film connection definitely was the perfect way. The film connection connected me with some very knowledgeable people that I know will help catapult my experience and learning course even after graduation.

I enjoy my sessions with my screen writer and mentor, I’ve learned a lot about writing scripts and developing stories. I think being online held me back a little because I would’ve loved to get hands on training but I’m grateful for the opportunity

I think this program delivers what is promised. I was in the screenwriting/directing program. I definitely feel like I got a lot of value out of my screenwriting mentor. They were very responsive and gave me great writing feedback. And were also willing to hop on a call and give advice on the fly.My directing mentors helped when asked but they definitely expected you to do a lot on your own, which may work for some but I struggled with. They taught me about editing and using a camera, but it was more difficult with anything beyond that.The only negative I have is the textbook, which has some good advice, but a lot of it only works for white men.Overall, I believe this program delivers what is promised and you can learn a lot.

This was fairly decent program. Most of the value that I received and will receive going forward has come from my mentor. I’ve gone in a different direction with my project than the film suggest, but through working with my mentor, I feel more than confident about the trajectory of my career and creativity!

The wealth of information and knowledge that is in this training/school is vast. Elliott in student services support communication is impeccable. He was always available for me and ready to assist. My mentor provided to me through the school is on top of his game and has and continues to show me priceless techniques and skill sets needed to be successful in the film industry. Awesome experience!!

I took the film production and editing program. Your experience may vary depending on the mentors in your area you are assigned. Luckily I had a good film mentor and a great writing mentor. They do a great job and giving you hands-on experience as soon as possible. You will get from the school whatever you put in, so if you are motivated and can bring plenty of ideas, you’re going to be kept busy at all times.

My experience with film connection was great, the opportunity to work hands on with a professional at my craft was amazing. I think its better to be hands on because you learn more techniques. The program was flexible so it did not interfere with my work schedule, All around it was a great experience.

I felt like this was a good experience to learn different areas of the film industry and how it works. I got some good hands on experience with the program. It was nice because I have a couple videos I made with a professional production company. While I feel this was a good experience I still think I have a lot more I can learn and improve my knowledge.

I enjoyed my time at this school. My mentor was so helpful for me. The school provided a lot of resources thats been helping reach my goal. I appreciate this school so much.

My experience at Film Connection has been amazing! Ive gained so much knowledge and gained a great amount of relationships with other creatives. My mentors are Phenomenal! I spent a lot of time with them going over each chapter in detail and comparing them to real-life situations. I even got the opportunity to work with them on a few projects! Im grateful that I was able to learn from Daniel and Bayou! Theyre great humans and very insightful teachers. Im excited to continue this journey as a Film Director! Thank you Film Connection!

I looked for a program that would allow me to learn about film making and its processes and Film Connect was able to do so while being very flexible with my job schedule. Im the type of person who doesnt do well learning in normal class setting and the one on one mentoring was much more appealing to me.

First thing is that I am very satisfied with all the information I received within the last few months. My mentor has been outstanding and I consider him my close friend. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.

My time here we good. Good film mentor. Lots of hands on experience.

I love that they put you with a mentor to teach you about film. I believe the way every mentor mentors is different, but me personally, my mentor had me watch 3 movies a week and write three reviews. I usually wrote 10 pages of my script a week and read a few scripts. I think the experience was valuable I really enjoyed my mentor he was kind and always willing to go out of his way to help me with what I was struggling. The only few criticisms I have are that 1 I think people need longer to write their scripts, the type of person I am is I need to take time to make things good. I think a lot of people would agree, otherwise you have a half done screenplay that you have to pitch to a studio. 2 I wish I was in person in a studio but because of where I was located (and Covid) I wasn’t able to unfortunately. Overall a great experience that I will remember and hopefully benefit and get a career out of.

I was able to learn more in 6 months than I did in two years of college. I am slowly making my way into the film industry and have made great connections so far. I’m right where I need to be because of Film Connection.

Great student services this program was amazing and put me in contact wit a lot of amazing people who have supported me every step of this journey would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get into film

Getting into the atmosphere and connecting with professionals is priceless. I learned quite a lot from the lessons that were assigned to me weekly but nothing beats having a mentor that not only gets your foot into the door giving you the opportunity to connect with real professionals in the field. My mentor was always there for me if I had any questions and went above and beyond anything I expected. My academic facilitator called weekly and answered any questions I had and offered advice on projects I was working on. They provides you with all the tolls to be successful and as they say, it is up to you to make the program all that it can be.

Working with RRFC was a tremendous help in getting me into the film Industry. It has been able to get me a couple of steps further into the field, by not only working with actual professionals but giving me an overall understanding.

Working with this school is one of the best. If you want to get an actual experience in the film industry this is the place.

WOW TIME FLEW BY! And thats exactly why I wanted to do this program. The entertainment is always moving forward and changing and I didnt want to have to go to school for 4 plus years just to get out and start at the bottom somewhere.. So Im SO GLAD I found this program instead! 6 months flew by and it was seriously the best decision I couldve made for myself and my goals for the future. The greatest part of this program was the fact that I got assign to a SUPER awesome mentor who was/is able to help me grow in my craft and actually get me onto sets right from the get go! Like seriously, the first legit film set I was ever on and it was a feature length horror film, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANYTHING MORE PERFECT! Im also so grateful to my academic advisor because I was never left in the dark and he was always there to help me and answer any questions I had and also just super nice to have a friendly chat with! I am so appreciative of both of them helping me in taking the first steps in what I want to be my life long career path. Thank you!

It was a great program. Really helpful. The mentor gave me everything I need to be successful and my student advisor helped a lot with my work and being able to pitch my film.

When I entered the program it was late into 2020, so sadly I was not able to get to much hands-on experience on set but the program proved to be worthwhile. I am still going to be offered student internships to get some hands-on experience when things get better, and my mentor said I could still ask for advice if I need any. I did the online program but it still was extremely valuable and it was easy to talk to someone if I needed help.

There are not enough words to describe the skills and experience that I obtained during my education at RRFC. Having a previous education in Audio Engineering at Musicians Institute and then The Recording Connection, after a few years in that industry I realized I wanted to be in control of what I created and not so much only editing other peoples work. I had been doing my own film stuff since Covid started and I recalled my positive experiences with The Recording Connection, so I looked for a film program and what do you know... I found the Film Connection. I knew if it was anything like the hands-on in-studio experience I had with the Audio Engineering program I did through RRFC then I would have a great education in this field. I was able to pick a local studio where they set me up with my mentorship. Having this mentorship was crucial in the application of the ebook lessons and beyond, creating networking opportunities and relationships that continued after I completed the program. Also having access to my own academic advisor who gave me the best support pertaining to the program and beyond. My advisor Elliot, was highly supportive and invested in my experience through the program; always checking my understanding of key concepts and techniques. He always reached out to me, and never failed to be there for me when I needed clarity. He made sure to always reach out to me at least weekly to see how I was doing. The experiences and relationships that I have with my mentor Ken and advisor Elliot have been great and I hope will continue. RRFC provides career making relationship building opportunities I havent seen anywhere else. I learned so much more with RRFC than I ever thought I would through a school program. Upon graduating I now have the confidence to move forward in my career as a filmmaker.

What I enjoyed about this experience was working with a really good mentor who walked me through the program step by step and taught me everything their is to know about screenwriting. I had a good time and do recommend this experience.

I had one of the best experiences. If people want to learn the heart of filmmaking I say go to Film Connections. My mentors are there to answer any questions for that I have at any time and they have best personality a person can have

The experience that I had with RRFC was wonderful I genuinely do feel like I have learned and will be able to find a career because of this program. The communication while in this program was great too I felt like if I had any problems they could quickly get sorted out.

Awesome place to learn everything about filming , I had the best experience with mentors.

I learned so much in just a short amount of time, I would highly recommend to any upcoming filmmaker.

I liked the experience of getting out in the field and actually learning more about the editing software. The ebooks I had also did a good job breaking down certain ideas that I wasnt clear on before. Overall a pretty solid experience.

Its only good if you work for it. I see a lot of students expecting to be given their career. This school is perfect for the independent thinkers, as long as they can trust it to the end and work hard for their own.

Film Connection or RRFC (Radio Recording & Film Connection) is a easy-going institute and not as high-demanding for time and work like typical standard colleges are. This school does not have a campus nor any specific due dates for assignments which makes time management, transportation and attendance very easy and relaxing making it to where you can set your own schedule to get the things you need to get done done and they partner you up with excellent mentors for the area of expertise youre aiming for. This place is very professional to me, a calm work flow, very good quality and I take high value within their system.

I have had a great experience here so far. It’s a straight up program, no beating around the bush. You just get right down to business and it’s very personalized. Everyone I’ve talked to has been super friendly and helpful, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this takes me!

My experience with Film Connection was enriching. I was able to learn how to learn camera and editing from my mentor. I was also able to gain keen insight into what is to be expected of me as a professional filmmaker who desires to make a living at this profession.

Great lessons, you get to learn many new things about the industry, and mentors are really great at teaching. Would recommend for anyone who wants to be in the business.

Usually I learned most of the filming aspect by myself for my YouTube channel, but Ive decided to gain more knowledge to hone my craft. Attending this school is worth it for me, because not only I had a fun time learning about the film industry, but to get an intern at a studio nearby to gain experience of whats it like in the business. Now I wanted to take it to the next level by learning more and meeting other people, so i can create more content to inspire others to do what they want. Best believe Doppoganga is going to represent.

I originally enlisted in the program after being informed by my friend. Having completed the program, I can say it was a learning experience for sure that present great opportunities. There are a lot of different ways to break into the industry, a lot of which probably dont require as much money as Film Connection is asking for. However, I felt that having the chance to work with someone who is already in the industry and who already owns equipment you can work with was well worth the money. Overall, the experience with the mentors is great. Where I felt the program was lacking was the curriculum. Much of the text book and courses seem outdate with many links to videos coming up as unlisted or deleted.

CASA allows for hands on learning from your mentors. The program helped me learn a lot about my craft. The mentors I had put me in pressure situations that allowed me to learn in the heat of the moment. In my opinion that’s the best situation you could be in.

This program is a MUST HAVE for filmmakers trying to get into the industry. It allows you to get your foot in the door with a professional right away, and gives you access to top of the line gear and knowledge. It also does what no college or university can do, and gives you help finding your first job in the industry. If you’re dedicated, work hard, and make the most out of it you will not regret this program.

Before the program I didnt feel like I had a solid skill set I could get a job with. After doing the Film Connections program I feel a lot more confident, knowledgeable, and responsible

I learned many things about the program. Learning some hands on, editing , and screenwriting skills. Hopefully I will continue to master those skills to get a good job somewhere around in America

I loved the time I spent here!. I have learned so much and been given so many opportunities like working on an actual movie set! The hands on experience is what really makes this school incredible. Your mentor would be an actual worker from a movie studio and teach you the things you need. Seriously, this school has pushed my career into new heights!

This program is awesome! I learned so much and I feel like I’m gonna make it as a film producer because of them ! THANK U FILM CONNECTIONS!

I learned so much from this experience and being able to work hands on has been so wonderful. The staff and the mentors are amazing and always there when I needed them. I absolutely recommend this program for anyone who wants to get into the film business.

Honestly, best decision Ive ever made! Film Connection is affordable and hands-on training. The assignments are very clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed my experience with my mentor and my academic facilitator. My mentor is very professional and made sure I get the best learning experience that I need. He is the best! If you ever want to go to the film school, this is the place for you to go to!

I enjoyed my experience at the film connection very much, meeting people actually industry and working on sets was hugely beneficial to me and hopefully lead me in the right direction towards this industry.

This was such a fun ride, these twenty weeks went by so fast but overall worth it, Thank you Film Connection for the opportunity.

Im coming close to finishing the program and its been really helpful. I have learned a lot, met new people and students, and have been granted access to plenty of resources for filming. Its a great gateway to the industry.

Training with an actual pro helped advance my skills beyond what I could have going through a textbook. Being hands on helped feel like I gaining real experience. Real engagement is what will help in the long term.

Film connection established my connection to the best mentor Ive had so far in my creative career. They gave me a path to pursue my higher goals in education and creativity.

Film Connetion is also the mentors really were hands on any questions I needed answered it was answered and it was one call away the mentors also were very persistent with being on time with our appointments I really would like to thank Elliot Campos, Eric Abrams, and Shawn Taylor for all of the hard work with me.

Working with RRFC has been a limited but satisfying learning experience. I have had a lot of stuff about writing I have known of but there were definetely other things I got from the program in terms of how I write my stuff and how I can express them. A one-on-one mentorship program was helpful as it got me to connect with my teacher on how specifically my writing needs to work. I think what wouldve helped was if I was learning this outside of my house, doing some activities of doing projects to fulfill to credit. But I understand that I couldnt do that in the middle of the pandemic. So Im still happy with what I got to learn.

This program has helped me in a vast variety of ways, from working hands on with equipment on a live set, to having personal mentors helping me throughout my experience. Everything the program has to offer is right at the tips of your finger, the textbooks offer many different lessons with a fluid way of explanation. I was granted the opportunity to work with Two of the most Insightful professionals i have ever met in the industry. Extremely excited to go pitch my movie in the upcoming few months!

Being from an area that has very little opportunities to get into features, the Film Connection mentor program allowed me to get my foot in the door while learning hands on preparing me to enter the field of production my self

The mentorship process offers a first hand wealth of knowledge that is vital to becoming a professional in the film industry.

Amazing experience, learned great things with the mentors. I strongly recommend

All the way from Arkansas I was able to work with a Hollywood Director and write a screenplay. I formed a great relationship with my mentor all while learning how to properly write and pitch a movie script. I was able to do this all while working a full time job as a News Producer. If you want to become a qualified film professional quickly, all while managing every day life, I highly recommend this program. It’s great for networking. The professionals you work alongside show they care and are very helpful.

Great program. Material and modules really hit the nail on the head. Could use more force with screenwriting mentors to commit to their students. Otherwise, great mentors that have a lot to offer. This program shows that you have to really control how bad you want it to happen.

I very much enjoyed the Film Connection Film Editing & Producing program because my mentor was flexible with my work schedule. I am a teacher full time so he was very understanding for my time restrictions but we definitely made it work. The hands on learning was a big plus for me as opposed to only reading out of book to learn. Personally, I learn better through experience. The networking factor was also a big benefit, my mentor has been in the industry for nearly 40 years and could point me in any direction to someone who could help with a production.

A Great experience , learned a lot from my mentor and teachers and from the book they gave me, looking forward to keep learning from them

Working with Film Connection is great. I get a lot of hands on time with my mentor. I love it a lot.Going to different shoots is a lot of fun I learn so much and then once we are done shooting I get to go and edited the video which I like. Everybody is really helpful and my Student Adviser is always there if I have any question. The program is only 6 months and it works great with my schedule.The tuition is great I dont have to pay a lot all at once. I can but I chose to do payments which is not to bad. After I am done with the program I plan on going to Georgia to further my career in the film industry. I want to learn more then just film editing. I want to learn more about different stages in film. I love that I can work hands on because I work better that way then just sitting in a classroom and not doing a lot hands on work. Working with the industry is a lot of fun you go on shoots a lot and when you are not shooting you are editing. I work on my E book which is really easy and teaches me a lot about film and what it is all about and the quizzes are not hard at all. Learning with Film Connection is the best think that I have ever done. I Love It!

The staff was really helpful i would recommend this school to anyone who is trying to get in the film industry

Joining Film Connection gave me a better understanding of what it takes to get into the film industry. From pre production to post production and even marketing for your film after all that, they provided the necessary information for my future career.

Gave me hands on experience that I needed to really pave my way in this industry. Definitely flexible and gave me proper knowledge to move forward.

I definitely enjoyed my time during this program. The mentors were super helpful and flexible. I got exactly what I came here to do, which was widen my knowledge on film. I would recommend this program for anyone looking to gain more knowledge in the film industry and get more experience.

My experience with Film Connection was definitely amazing. The entire program exceeded all my expectations and I learned a great amount of valuable knowledge that quickly put me ahead of everyone my age. My mentor was the most amazing and caring person, and the online curriculum was extremely beneficial and easy to understand!

Working with Film Connections was a great way to get into the Film Industry. They pair you with someone already in the business and you get that hands on experience that you dont get in other schools. It is a short program in comparison to other schools which means you get to work right away but you still learn a lot in that time. Overall I am happy with my experience.

This school is a really great school for someone with a busy Schedule. I had a lot going on, but they made it so I can still get my assignments in on time. You also get to work with a mentor who is in Hollywood and has experience. For me it was really awesome hearing first hand what goes on in the industry and hearing feedback from a professional.

Film Connection has been a great school to attend, Ive learned a lot of vaulable and beneficial stuff that has prepared me for this job industry. working with my mentor has also been great which has allowed me to have hands on learning which will help provide me with a kickstart in this job industry. Overall my experience has been great.

One of the best learning experiences of my life. With the help of the online lessons. Guidance from Elliot on burning questions ive always had. Direct hands on work, and guidance with my Mentor Johny. Not only did I learn allot, but the programs gave me the confidence in myself to pursue my passions.

I love the experience. The online classes ate easy, and meeting up with my mentor once or twice a week is SO worth it!! I’m having a lot of fun and I’m so glad I’m doing this and not some boring class somewhere else.

This was a great program. The hands on aspect of it is really the best part about it. I learned more doing actual shoots with people than I did in my four years at college. I met a lot of interesting and helpful people along the way and enjoyed my experience with my mentor, who grew to be a very good friend in the process. Thanks to this program, I was able to write a short film and am now currently deep in the pre production process of getting it made.

Everything was alright for the most part. There was miscommunication in terms of going to this school for specifically editing and among other things. In my 6 months at this school, I didnt gain anymore knowledge of editing as when I started. Overall if you dont know what you want to do in the film making industry, you definitely experience a variety of things.

Highly recommend the professionals at Film Connections. Im now a reputable Screenwriter due to the mentoring of Ron Osborn. My script has made tremendous headway with producers in LA.

Attending RRFC online has been an incredible experience, not only did I get an amazing mentor but the people he works with have also been incredible. The experience is better than a classroom lecture, I learned at my own pace and got hands on experience. Lastly, when I am finished my debt will not be super high and that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thank you RRFC !!!

A great expirence, my mentor didnt just simply gas light me and tell me how great I am. But informed me when I needed to fix something but also when I was doing good. They were very flexible with everything I asked. I was able to learn more about other aspects of filmmaking as well other than just my section. Overall a great expirence and highly recommend it.

I decided on Film Connection because it felt like it would help me get immersed in the industry. I though it was an amazing opportunity so I just sought after it. This program definitely gave me those opportunities to make those connections happen.My mentor was great. He gave me insights into the business, the industry, things I should work on. Then he would tell me stories of what to expect when it comes to shoot, even on shorts or on big features. He gave me a lot of insight I didnt really know about the business beforehand.If I had any questions hed answer them and then sometimes he would hook me up on dates with short films that maybe need PA work or something I might be pursuing in. I wanted to pursue directing, so my mentor gave me a lot of opportunities to go on sets, work with the director or with other positions to give myself other knowledge andexperience.I also got to work on my own shorts where he helped out a lot because as producer and actor, well especially the producer part, he knows the whole rundown. How much things cost, who to get, he really helps you to figure all of that out and to build connections so when you do want to make another short film you can rely on those people who can also rely on you, all through my mentors help. So its really a nice web that he creates, or any mentor can create.Since graduating, Im going to be directing a short film for a student whose actually producing a couple of films, short films. So Im definitely still working and my mentor keeps feeding me opportunities as they come up. There should always be something coming up soon, which Ill be on that one which is going to be very exciting.

My learning experience with Film Connection was an awesome one. The hands-on training with a real professional was valuable. Ron Peterson, my script mentor, is very knowledgeable, and his lectures challenged me to become a better storyteller and writer. Elliot Campos, my academic facilitator, never missed a beat. Throughout the entire process, Elliot remained supportive while ensuring my journey was an easy one. Rogy, the owner of Rogy Productions, is an exceptionally talented videographer and cinematographer. He understands the industry and knows what it takes to be successful in the film and production industry. There is no greater experience than being a part of a winning team and thats what the folks at Film Connection are. Theyve helped me identify my vision for the future. I would never trade my experience with Film Connection for the long days and months in a classroom or lecture hall.

The experience with film connection was a breathtaking experience that indulge me to absorb information & live like an actual filmmaker in a daily basis

Everyone I worked with is very insightful and experienced in the industry! Loved the experience.

The length of this program really worked for me because it allowed me to absorb a lot of knowledge and work on my screenplay on a weekly basis in only about 6 months which felt like an extremely efficient process to kickstart my screenwriting career

Full disclosure: Film Connection has been a client for 15 years. The improvements and desire to be better are constants in their actions. Their mentor/apprentice method of filmmaking education is the absolute best way to learn the skills and the business you need. They open the door and provide you with opportunities. Its up to you to use them to y our advantage.

It was so great experience with RRFC , the mentor Richard Brandes is an amazing guy and he is always been good positive support for me to come up with great vision of screenwriting. Even though I was torturing him a lot with stupid questions but still he tolerated me ask more and more questions. If you want to be a screenwriter writer and if you are getting Richard as your mentor it will be a great success for you. The assistance from the school was great too, they always keep on calling to know how I am doing and how the classes are going on and always try to help me to find out ways to explore more. It is an affordable Tution fee for a middle class family and easy to pay off as well.

My mentor was amazing to work with. I learned quite a bit from this program.

I was one of the producers on a TV Pilot that was filming in both Los Angeles and Reno, Nevada. This was quite an ambitious shoot and we needed all the extra hands we could get to assist. I did my due diligence and research, and found the Recording Radio Film Connection. I reached out to the program and connected with Gervais Maillard, the Lead Career Services Advisor, who could not have been more helpful and efficient. Gervais understood the exact type of production assistant help our TV shoot required, and sent us over information on several students who expressed interest in assisting with our project, so I could vet them immediately. The best part was that I had originally reached out seeking help in Reno, but ended up with wonderful PA help in LA, as well! And, just when I thought it could not get any better, one of our skilled assistants in Reno stepped in to help G&E and to grip for us one day. Truly the best part for me was receiving messages when we wrapped production, thanking us for changing their lives and that they were grateful to put their Film Connection training into practice on a real Hollywood film set! Thank you for your services and I will be back for our next production!Best,Brooke Lewis Bellas

Before entering the Film Connection I had authored two books so I thought screenwriting would be a natural progression from that. It was anything but. Thanks to the patience and guidance of my mentor I was able to make the leap into using words to create images on the paper that can then be translated back into images on the screen. I just pitched my first script and they are interested enough to keep my script.

Saw your Google Hangout on casting! I really enjoyed it! Very well spoken and helpful.

The Film Connection has helped me learn so much about the film making process. I can’t wait to start making my own films so that I can put this knowledge to use.

I’ve been running around like crazy, lately. When one shoot ends, then another one starts. It’s fun to be busy but man is it tiring.

The thing that blows my mind the most about making movies is being on set and seeing the lights and the atmosphere. One minute it’s a room with people in it and the next it’s all lit and looks like a film.

I didnt have a good experience in this program. In the end i hadnt been on set after eight months and the contract said youre mentor work is completed after a year and you had a number of months to get a refund. The directors were small directors and the one i got canceled projects and took other students. I got a refund but they have never sent payments on time as there agreement. I have not been pleased with this program. I thought it would be a great experience but in the end was told by the career person they wouldnt be able to help me be a cameraman because of time. Its disappointing that they have a contract agreement but also to send payments they cant even send the payment out. If you do this program make sure you know the contract. After several major issues happened i could not allow them to just take the money only to hope i might get something after being a pa. If you take the film program at lavc valley it pretty much covers everything this program does and its less money.

Im 13 year old and last summer I try out for modeling as nd I got accept but my didnt have the money to pay it and I really want to become a model
