A Day in the Life of Our Students

   Film Connection student Jacob Sizemore (Dallas, TX) knows the road ahead isn’t an easy one, but he’s up for the challenge. “Normal people seem to have a certain fanaticized idea of how to make a movie. ‘It’s simple right? Just take the camera, push record, say your lines. Easy.’ I only wish it was that simple. I have made several short films in the past and have gone through many struggles that all filmmakers go through on a daily basis. That being said, I am still learning and it will only get harder as I get more experience. However all of that is inconsequential when considering you are literally capturing a moment in time to create art. People who have a love for film as I do will understand that. There is nothing like the feeling of finally getting the perfect shot after 50 takes, or finally coming up with a great idea after a long period of writer’s block. These are the moments we live for.”    Just two lessons in, Recording Connection music business student Ernesto Trujillo (Grand Junction, CO) is putting his newfound knowledge to work! “I have a better understanding of the marketing plan cycle, I definitely used these ‘four P’s’ in releasing my first original single which got over 18k views on YouTube and much more love from our fans from many more sites. I will also be using these steps for my next project coming out in a couple of days. These steps will be very useful whenever marketing any of my music or anything else involved.” Learn more about our Music Business program.
