This isn’t a boring North Platte film school classroom. This isn’t an overcrowded college laboratory. This is life. Real Life. YOUR LIFE.

Want to be a part of the growing film community in North Platte? The only way to do it is with the Film Connection film school in North Platte, Nebraska. Our 6-month behind-the-scenes track pairs you with specialists in the area. By your program’s end, you will not only have the real-world experience that’s missing from most film school graduate’s resumes, but you’ll have legitimate industry contacts for any ideas that you develop in the future. Our second track is our more extensive 8-month director program. Here you will work in partnership with local mentors and a dream mentor in Los Angeles. In your final week, you will be flown out to L.A. to pitch your idea before an industry executive. There’s no telling how far you can go with our training!
