Film Connection grad Cecelia Sayler
After Film Connection student
Cecelia Sayler pitched her screenplay to filmmaker
Lenny Shapiro, he invited her to attend AFM (American Film Market)! When Cecelia sent him an email to express her thanks, he just had to share the news with our team. Here’s an excerpt:
Filmmaker Lenny Shapiro and Cecelia Sayler
“Thank you so much for such a fantastic opportunity and learning experience. AFM was such an eye opening and helpful place to learn and grow and I just wanted to reach out and extend my gratitude… I learned not only about the industry and what’s popular and trending, but I also learned a lot about networking and what to say and do, and what not to say and do. I learned a lot about my own writing style and how to adapt my script to fit what’s trending.
Thank you for inspiring me. You pushed me to work harder and think smarter. You taught me things that no textbook could have. These are the lessons that will stay with me as I continue to grow, not only a writer but a person too…
Thank you so much for all of your time and energy invested in me…I’ll be in touch!”
*FYI, gratitude never goes out of style. Find out more about learning
in-industry from a professional filmmaker.

Already a graduate of a conventional audio engineering school,
Jose Castrejon got a lot out of the one-on-one approach of our Advanced Audio and Music Production program. Speaking of this time with Recording Connection mentor Ira Parker at Maximus Music, he says:
“Whatever comes to your mind, you just ask it and he’ll answer for you. When I was asking him about certain instruments, like, ‘Hey, boss, how would I set up a mic for an accordion?’…It’s like learning that certain position for a microphone and watching him do it, and then he makes you redo it. It’s definitely that one-on-one learning experience that I was looking forward to.”
