Film Connection Works
|
It's your "in," your "foot in the door" to
the media
biz. Film Connection does what its name implies: "connects" you to
someone in the business. Which brings me back to my
original statement: College is a waste of
time and money. You want to do something with you life? You want to be
somebody? There's one sure fine way  to reach that goal: apprentice
yourself with a pro.
Apprentice, Familiar sounding work, right? I guess the first image
that comes to mind is "The sorcerer's Apprentice." Remember that
episode from Fantasia, the Disney film with Mickey Mouse and the
walking brooms? The idea of an "apprentice" has been around for
centuries. Think about it. Could there be any better way to learn than
watching and being taught by a pro in his own environment? |

Connection's CEO Jimi
Petulla on apprenticing and educating. Call
him a revolutionary, but Jimi Petulla's method of learning by
doing is really just a "a throwback to the Renaissance period," where you
learned your art by paying your dues and taking advice from a true
master. Through his Film Connection program, aspiring moviemakers all
over the country are becoming working moviemakers—and learning from the
best in the business. Here, Petulla talks about bringing the 12th
century into the 21st. |

| Is Film Connection the savior of
American adult education? One thing is certain: Film
Connection's
radical, yet time-honored approach to teaching could shake higher
learning to its unstable
core. He is founder and president of
Entertainment Connection, a California-based program that applies the
old world concept of "apprenticing" -- i.e., a learning experience
where students receive personal, on-the-job training from a seasoned
professional. |
