WHY LEARN FROM NICOLE SYLVESTER?
Hey, I’m Nicole.
I’ve been a filmmaker for over 25 years. I’m a producer, director, writer, line producer, and production manager. I’ve worked on projects ranging from micro-budget to mega-budget, and I’ve been everything from a PA to a department head.
I created this mini-class because too many filmmakers get stuck waiting — waiting for money, waiting for permission, waiting for Hollywood.
You don’t need to wait.
You need the right information and the confidence to move forward.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This mini-class is for you if:
-
You have a script (or an idea) and don’t know where to start
-
You’re overwhelmed by budgets, paperwork, and logistics
-
You’ve been “researching” filmmaking for years but haven’t pulled the trigger
-
You want to make a real movie, not just talk about it
-
You’re working with limited money — and need to use it wisely
No gatekeeping.
No jargon.
No Hollywood fantasies.
