If you’re reading this, I know you don’t have all the time, money, and resources in the world to go make your film.
That’s why the first thing I’ll teach you is how to leverage your strengths and strategically “scope” this project to ensure success, based on your specific circumstances.
Past students have found the realistic guidelines and deadlines in this section extremely helpful.
Feeling stuck with no story ideas, lifeless characters, endings that fizzle out? Discover how simple writing a strong short film can be.
This section is your full story roadmap – from the blank page, all the way to typing “THE END.”
Along the way you’ll learn the screenwriting techniques and concepts you need to make your story sing. You’ll even get some of my unproduced, low-budget short film scripts to use if you find yourself totally stuck.
In other words – no matter what your experience level – you can’t fail.
Learn how to produce a film like a pro while getting the most bang for your buck. Organize your shoot, build your team, and make them want to work with you again and again.
This is the section I reuse myself the most because it saves so much time and mental energy I’d rather dedicate to the creative aspects of filmmaking.
This section reveals how your favorite directors prepare for a film, equipping you with surprisingly simple techniques to captivate your audience and bring your vision to life with maximum impact.
I’ll show you how to find the answers to every creative question in your film as the director, with tons of examples of realistic situations you’ll face.
You’ll also learn how to effectively lead your cast and crew, and take the pressure off yourself by inspiring your team to contribute their full creativity to your vision.
Learn both the technical & storytelling tools of editing, exactly how I do it in Adobe Premiere, without wasting time on all the features and effects you’ll never need for a narrative film.
I’ll even give you footage from one of my own films to edit alongside the lessons, so you can learn this craft easier and faster by working with me instead of just watching.
PS – If I had this course when I was starting out, I would have saved myself thousands of hours of amateurish & inefficient editing!
Ever hear the saying “you’re the sum of the people you spend the most time with”?
