No guys, I'm real. Just playng around in these forums and saw "film-connection" so I registered to offer a positive opinion for a program that worked for me.
Anyway, whatever, blah blah blah. My experience with them was a positive one. It's not brain surgery, they say they are gonna get you out on film sets and for me atleast they did. A bunch.
Who did film connection hook me up with:
Verizon Wireless comm. (camere dept.)
Minnie's First Time (camera dept. -- this is an Alec Baldwin film)
Ludacris music video directed by Spike Jonze (grip dept. -- cos' I wanted the exp. in different dept.
Deathride (a low budget horror movie directed by a famous Japaneese director named Suzuki)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (this was when I was in NYC, before I transfered to L.A.)
True Religion jeans comm.
etc. etc.
What can I say? They told me I was gonna get on film sets and they put me there. For me it worked cos' it was 5,000 as opposed to 100,000 for NYU or USC -- I learned what I needed to know, but I worked hard. They opened the doors, I walked through and kicked ass. Made connections. My mentor knows a lot of people and he introduced to me to everyone he knew. You're paying to get in the door and learn hands on. Which is cool, my buddy just graduated from NYU and he's now a PA on sets. I'm actually ahead of him minus the 95,000 tab. Honestly, he even admits he doesn't know more than me, and I'm already a 1st and a 2nd AC and getting paid.
peace
