| Film Connection is the right place for you. I know that it may sound a little different than most places but that is why it works. It's focus is not just showing you the ropes around the set (cause that is where you will be) but it will give you a huge jump on networking. And let's face it, you really want into film. . .It's all about the contacts. Find me at myspace.com/purely_films or at http://www.mediawarrior.ning.com . First take a good look at the comparison chart at Film Connections. Then meet up w/ me & ask me anything pertaining to FC!

BTW I don't know him....so you might want to go after someone who is NOT trying to find help. Or could you put down the stick and help the poor guy out! OMG!

| I know a couple people who got their degrees from The New School. They went to school online because they both worked full-time. It works as far as I know - they have both since graduated with their MAs. It says on the website that you can get Bachelor's Degrees too. Here's the link: http://www.newschool.edu/onlin...ertificates.aspx?s=2quote: Originally posted by Jsmith:
ooook, so, I'm a real person, and would really like to know if anyone has tried film connection. sounds like good fun and a good way to start. but the spam here on this forum is a little disheartening. i live in dallas, and don't have the option of leaving it at the moment, so my choices are severely limited. anybody know anything about it?

| The thing with training schools is that people will never agree with each other as to whether it works or now. It works for some, doesn't for others. It's the same with all kinds of education. | | | |

| You didn't get dropped into the studio of choice, or found the work harder than you were expecting? | | | |

Hey gang! I promise I don't know either of those two spammers but I graduated from Film Connection last year and am generally dissatisfied with my experience. I found that many of the instructors barely spoke English and I probably only met 20 people in the industry, all of whom were interns for graphic design firms in the Midwest that only do promotional work for the Travel Channel or Food Network. Of course, my experience may not be reflective of anyone else's but I know several FC grads who are going back to school to get their JD or MBA... Good luck with the process!
If you were unhappy with your course, did you voice your concerns, leave feedback? | | | |

| The problem is that if people are not totally happy about something, they tend not to say anything about it at the time. Then complain about it afterwards. If people don't give constant feedback and report problems ASAP there is no way to improve things until it's too late. | | | |
Freshman
| If you don't give constant feedback/ raise any issues as and when they arise there is nobody to blame but yourself. | | | |
Freshman
| No disrespect but if someone is expecting help with their worksheets because they cannot be bothered to do it them selves they cant blame film connection if they falter. | | | |
Freshman
| The thing some folks don't seem to fathom is that you actually have do do some hard work to succeed. Your gonna get no where without doing some work and studying. That goes for all methods of education, in any field. | | | |
Freshman
| Then blame the school when things don't go as planned. | | | |
 | Please Wait. Your request is being processed... |
