Whether you want to be in business for yourself in the Mississippi film industry, or whether you want to go all the way to Hollywood, the Mississippi Film Connection is the place to start!\n\nIf you think you have to move to Hollywood to get started in film, think again. There are a surprising number of major films being made on a regular basis right here in Mississippi, including O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)\nThe People v. Larry Flynt (1996), Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), My Dog Skip (2000), Heart of Dixie (1989), Crossroads (1986), Raintree County (1957), Showboat (1951), Mississippi Burning (1988), The Help (2011), Walk the Line (2005), Noah (2014), and A Time To Kill (1996).\n\nAs you can see, major film productions come regularly to our doorstep to shoot on location and have been doing so for a long time.
