Brief Introduction
Make Your Dream Come True by Filming Your Movie and Distributing It Around the WorldDescription
This is an all-encompassing guide for making an independent feature length movie. By the end of this course you will have the information you need to successfully make a feature film that you can distribute around the globe to be seen by possibly millions of people.
I'm sharing with you my experience as a veteran screeenwriter, director, producer and editor of 11 feature films. Normally film students pay a lot of money to learn this information at universities, and often all they really learn is cinema theory.
These videos tell you what you need to do and how to do it to make your movie.
This course covers:
the basics of screenwriting
turning your screenplay into a shooting script
organizing and scheduling your film shoot
tips on saving money
calculating your budget
fundraising
contracts you'll need with cast and crew*
basic tips for filming, lighting and recording audio
basic film editing instruction and concepts, along with tips to make the editing easier
tips for finishing the film to give it the professional look
thorough review of distribution options for your movie
and tons and tons of details about all the steps in between
The videos include lectures, demonstrations and examples illustrating the information I'm sharing.
This course also includes sample spreadsheets, contracts, and a list of additional resources. You will get all the forms and resources I use to make a movie.
*** A special bonus video (Lecture 53) is included on filming with Covid-19 Safety Precautions. During the global pandemic it is possible to continue making films safely. The 24 minute video explains the basics of how filming adapts to safety precautions and how we can keep everyone healthy on our indie film productions.
I LOVE filmmaking. I LIVE to make movies. If you have a story you want to tell, this course gives you the tools to do it.
*I'm not a lawyer. These sample contracts are not legal advice.
