Get Hands-On Mentorship at our New Jersey Film Production School. Learn from Industry Insiders.<\/span><\/h2>\nThe New Jersey Film Connection is hands-down the best film school in the state, offering you the chance to connect to the film industry in ways no other film school can. How? Simple: instead of sticking you in a classroom with a bunch of other film students, we put you in a real film production facility as a working extern, where you\u2019re taught one-on-one by an actual film industry professional. While those other film students are sitting in their classrooms, you\u2019re gaining valuable work experience, making real industry connections, and generally becoming an \u201cinsider,\u201d which gives you a real advantage when job openings occur.\n\nLet\u2019s face it: if you really want to be a cinematographer, film editor, film producer, director or professional screenwriter, you have to have more than just an education. You need CONNECTIONS, and that only happens by getting involved in real film productions. That\u2019s why our film school gives you the edge: by the time those other film students graduate and start knocking on the doors, you\u2019ll already be inside the door! In fact, if you play your cards right, you\u2019ll be the one opening the door to tell them the job is taken\u2014by you.","image_content_area_2":null,"content_area_2":"
