About the Entertainment Connection, continued
“I
started getting my first breaks within six months of starting the
Entertainment Connection Film School in the year 2000. It is much more
practical and real world than traditional film schools. I did my first
two shorts the first year, and then got a great job as a production
coordinator. Today, I have directed my first full length feature film
which is in Target, WalMart, and Hollywood Video and is being
distributed by York Entertainment. I am now a mentor in New York City
for Entertainment Connection and have my own production company.”
