As far as a long list of unhappy Film-connection students, i have an even longer list of unhappy students from AFI or LAFilm, or UCLA, etc. A friend of mine, his name is Rhett Bear -- a working DP (check out his website if you don't believe me rhettbear.com) who went to Pasadena Art Center told me everything he learned at traditional film school that he uses on the job he could have learned on the job for a lot less money. If this Film-connection gets you on the job and helps you make all those connections like Bart says then it sounds like a program at least worth checking into. The truth is most people fail and are bitter about it. But that doesn't necessarily have to do with the programs. The film world is filled with misanthropes, failures, naysayers, n'er do wells, and unhappy misfits. Lets face it people, most humans enjoy failing then pointing the finger. Film programs work if the person is willing make it work for him. I've read all your posts, I'm gonna check this Film-Connection out atleast. Carey Tonkins
