BUILD YOUR MOVIE

Turn the movie in your head into a movie you can actually make. 

Before you hire a crew or pick up a camera, you need to understand what you're making and build a realistic plan around it.

You'll cover:

01 — Film History & Art of Filmmaking
Learn from the filmmakers and movements that came before you while beginning to define your own cinematic voice.

02 — Screenplay Writing
Learn to look at your screenplay creatively and practically—because on an independent film, your script is your budget in disguise.

03 — Production Value
Learn how thoughtful choices in locations, design, camera, lighting, sound and preparation can make a smaller-budget movie feel bigger.

04 — Budgeting & Scheduling
Turn the screenplay into a workable production plan by understanding what your movie will actually require in time and money.
