VIRGINIA FILMMAKERS AND FILM PRODUCERS
If you didn't think Virginia was a hotspot for the film industry--think again. A diversity of beautiful natural and urban scenery, plenty of historical landmarks, close proximity to our national Capitol Washington, DC (the Pentagon is located in Arlington, and CIA Headquarters is in Langley), and generous incentives offered by the state have all combined to make Virginia a favored location spot for local, regional and major film projects. Virginia has served as a backdrop for such films as War of the Worlds, Minority Report, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Lincoln, and Cold Mountain, among many others.
The people you see featured on this page are all talented film professionals who have demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence as students and graduates of the Film Connection Film Institute in Virginia. Having been trained on-the-job in real film production companies and on the set, each of these individuals was personally trained and mentored by some of the top filmmakers in the industry today. Please take a look at their individual websites to see their prior work and to find out more about how they can help you with your professional filming needs.
