There’s a film school right here in Las Vegas…and it rocks! That’s because Film Connection Film School in Las Vegas, NV offers industry contacts in addition to top-shelf film education.

Select our exceptional 6-month behind-the-scenes program or our distinctive 8-month director program. Aspiring directors in this program get to work with local and dream mentors in Los Angeles, and they’ll be flown out to L.A. so they can pitch their project to an industry executive who may even greenlight their idea on the spot!
