Film Connection apprentices Tyler Moloney, Rodion Borisov, Joseph Wirth (left to right) had the awesome experience of joining writer/director and Film Connection mentor Richard Brandes at this year’s American Film Market in Los Angeles, CA, where they got to see firsthand how movies get sold and distributed on an international scale!
  
Recording Connection apprentice Nathan Cunningham (Charlotte, NC) who apprentices at Bright Ideas Productions was recently in the studio handling the mix for an original track alongside mentor Boo English.
  

Hakym Reagan at CAFF 2015
We’re very happy to announce that Film Connection graduates Blake Laitner and Hakym Reagan’s film The American Dream showcased at the Chinese American Film Festival. They had a great time seeing their film up on the big screen (again), walking the red carpet, and meeting and greeting some of the industry’s key players!
  
“I went to the culinary institute of America in Hyde Park but learned just as much during my externship at the Four Seasons Hotel in Newport Beach.
 
“As an executive chef I used to throw away resumes from kids dumb enough to blow 65k to attend The Art Institute and Le Cordon Bleu because they had no experience and prima donna attitudes. Cooking in the trenches of a real cutting edge kitchen is the only way to go.
 
“Students’ lack of experience, in fact zero experience after graduation and accumulated debt are what’s wrong with the culinary school system of today. Le Cordon Bleu charges 65k for 2 years of playing house! Conventional culinary school’s training is for suckers. Culinary schools are for profit and proud of it!”
 
— Martin Gilligan CEC, MCFE, American Culinary Federation’s ‘Chef of the Year 2005’ Los Angeles, CA
