Being an entrepreneur and filmmaker, Jimi Petulla desires to change the world, one individual at a time. As the founder and Chief executive officer of Recording Radio Film Connection, Petulla has spent the last three decades helping people get where they need to be to help make the most of their hard work, talent and determination. Those who find themselves in the status quo in many cases are the ones who are convinced that people from certain backgrounds lack the self-control or knowledge or are not diligent enough to make it ahead. Perhaps the biggest issue really is one of entry. Access is a vital ingredient for achievement in nearly any profession imaginable. For persons wanting to launch their careers in radio broadcasting, film making, audio engineering and music production, gaining access to these selective sectors is the very first thing people need. It's going to be do or die from there. Jim Petulla

Petulla's unique ability to see what's essential and what isn't has enabled him to craft effective, curriculum-backed training and educational programs for the three schools: Film Connection, Recording Connection and Radio Connection. Himself an entrepreneur and filmmaker, Jimi Petulla brings real-world experience to every thing he does. The excitement of being there, in on the action, learning straight from a professional in the industry is a very powerful inspiration for learning and self-transformation. He knows that learning and seeing things done by the pros is just unparalleled. This is the key element of all of the mentor-led plans at Recording Radio Film Connection. By putting individuals who would like to learn what it takes to make movies for private, one-on-one training and lessons with a real director, that very powerful experience inspires and enables them to start patterning themselves after a pro, right from the very beginning. As Petulla states, "Conventional schools want you to jump through a million hoops and the truth is you won't ever, ever get a real-world knowledge of what you want to do. When you are undergoing this training, you will have a bigger picture of what you will be doing after. You'll be then motivated of getting your foot into the industry.'"


After nearly 3 decades at the helm of Recording Radio Film Connection, JimiPetulla isn't taking it easy, no, instead he's growing his mission by starting a new project called The Connectors. Watch Jimi Petulla, entrepreneur and film maker get interviewed by Larry King (for more on Mr. Petulla click the link). For Jimi, the aim is to get those who have the ambition, motivation and talent but lack the funds, mentored-training for 6 months in the career of their choice. Petulla pointed out that this vision will grow to incorporate a wide range of various profession which are conducive for training, mentor-guided and on-the-job. Carry on paying it forward Jim Petulla !
