A Film Connection Scam?

recording connection scamOften, when you are a revolutionary in your particular field, there are those that do not like upset the status quo. And when you are Jimi Petulla, the mastermind powering the Film Connection, you are assaulted on all sides because you dared to upset the educational applecart.

There are lots of areas on the internet where you may see Jimi's name associated with Film Connection scam. This is the sad part of being innovative and being prosperous at the same time. Those who think that you are trying to bring down the present educational system will end up labeling the new educational approach a scam despite that reality that it has existed and has produced a number of successful graduates for over 30 years. Sad to say, due to the popularity of the internet, information can spread from one person to another like lightning and anyone can say anything they want and those who read it can or cannot accept is as true.

In order to hear the side of Jimi Petulla, Movie Maker Magazine conducted an interview with him and asked him queries regarding the courses offered. The Film Connection scam is an issue that can topple even the most secure institution thus Jimi made a through explanation regarding his school and why it can be the best option for anyone aiming to become successful in the film business.

Jennifer M. Wood, the host, made a conclusion that the Film Connection is based on the mentor-apprentice concept that has existed since the Renaissance period where one is trained by an expert and is ultimately hired by that person. Back then this concept has been productive and it has worked well for the students at Film Connection.

Jimi said that Film Connection which is a department of Career Connection does not do anything more than paving the way for aspiring persons to land internship options in several film production companies. He further testifies that thousands of beginners have found positions in film, radio and TV companies and stations worldwide.

The interviewer, Jennifer Wood, soon learned that history has shown that most people who are very prosperous in the entertainment business, did not come out of colleges with degrees. Most of these individuals started out by taking odd jobs, they were literally at the bottom of the ladder and worked hard until they were at the top and living the life they have always desired.

A saying that is very relevant in this scenario goes " those that can perform and those who are incapable of teaching." Students are studying under those who live their profession choice every day. Working experts who agreed to teach one of the students under Film Connection will act as instructor and coach to this student. They aren't just teaching but also "demonstrating" students exactly what to do on the working equipment in a real working environment. Those that call this scenario a Film Connection scam are obviously ripoffs themselves and don't have any understanding of true learning and mentorship.
