Learn Film Production Close to Home with a North Carolina Film Industry Insider

The best part is that you don’t have to move to Hollywood to connect to the film industry; There are plenty of opportunities to make those connections right here in North Carolina.

Need proof? Take a look at just a few of the major motion pictures and television productions that have been shot on location in North Carolina, or on North Carolina sound stages:

• The Hunger Games (2012)
• Iron Man 3 (2013)
• The Green Mile (1999)
• Forrest Gump (1994)
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
• Dirty Dancing (1987)

• Dawson’s Creek (TV series, 1998-2003)
• Hart of Dixie (TV series, 2011-present)
• Revolution (TV series, 2012-present)

North Carolina is a film-friendly state with an emerging film industry, including great locations and several film studios located throughout the state.  The list above doesn’t even come close to the number of film and TV projects shot here on a regular basis, so you can see there are plenty of opportunities to connect—IF you have the right connections and can get your foot in the door.  With most film schools, the only door you get into is the door to a classroom; with the North Carolina Film Connection’s on-the-job training, you get in the door of a real production facility, from day one of your training.

Explore our Innovative Film Programs and Courses in North Carolina. Get on a Streamlined Path to the Film Industry.

Our one-of-a-kind program is endorsed by some of the most influential people in the industry, many of whom choose to teach our students.  Our on-the-job teaching approach means you won’t spend a single day in a classroom.  Whether your field of interest is in screenwriting, editing, cinematography or other film disciplines, we have mentors specializing in these areas who can tailor the curriculum to your needs.  And if your goal is to break into Hollywood with your own film, your mentor will even guide you through the process of preparing and developing your film idea, and then we’ll arrange for you to go to Los Angeles and pitch your film to ACTUAL FILM INDUSTRY EXECUTIVES.  (When we say your path to Hollywood starts in North Carolina, this is what we mean!)

But all of this opportunity is worthless if you graduate film school buried in student debt—that’s the worst way to start a career.  With other film schools, debt is practically inevitable—but not with us.  We keep our tuition rates about 75% LOWER than the other guys, so you can concentrate on launching your film career, rather than worrying about how to pay your debts.
