YOUR FEEDBACK NEEDED
I really want to make these No Budget Confidentials as great as they can be, and you can help. Please fill out this brief, anonymous survey and give me your thoughts about the session. It will only take a couple of minutes, but will make the next session you attend so much better. THANK YOU! |

WATCH RICH KIDS
If you haven't watched Rich Kids yet, please check it out on Netflix. And remember to let the film run to the very end (until it switches to the next movie)--this really helps the filmmakers. If you don't have Netflix, you can also rent it on Amazon.
NO BUDGET FILM SCHOOL MAILING LIST
As you might imagine, you're now on my No Budget Film School mailing list. This means you will be getting my somewhat-regular newsletters, and information about upcoming classes and programs that I offer. Even better, you'll be entitled to special discounts to all paid programs that I do. If for any reason you don't want to remain on this list, it's very easy to unsubscribe at the bottom of every email.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS Finally, please help me spread the word about No Budget Confidential. If you know any filmmakers who might find these conversations edifying and inspiring, please let them know. Please share on your social media or however you connect with people. Yeah, sure, they're confidential, but tell everyone you know about them, (it will make it that much bigger a secret!).
Thank you again! |
| | | | Don't Miss Episode 3 of My New Zoom Interview Show! With Filmmaker Rob Smat, Discussing The Last Whistle July 2nd • 5pm PDT (8pm EDT)
I'm excited to have writer/director/producer Rob Smat on my next episode of No Budget Confidential. We're going to talk about his new $100k feature The Last Whistle, which is currently streaming on Netflix. Rob is a remarkable guy. First, he's young. He graduated from USC in 2017. By May 2018, he was shooting his first feature in his hometown of Fort Worth. By November, he was premiering it in festivals. He garnered a worldwide distribution deal with Vertical in 2019 and the film made it on Netflix by early 2020. And, he's finishing up a feature-length documentary right now!
Look, I believe we can learn a lot from overachievers, and there are so many great lessons from Rob's story. Join me this Thursday as we break it all down, share pics from the set, show you clips from the film, and answer all your questions. It's Live, it's Free, it's No Budget Confidential.

| | | Be A Better Filmmaker In Only An Hour! Sunday, July 5th • 1pm PDT
Filmmaker and graduate screenwriting professor Tom Provost is going to share some of his best stuff from his upcoming Cinema Language class in this live, free webinar. He'll be packing a lot of information into an hour, focusing mainly on what he describes as the essence of storytelling--Disclosure of Information. He'll reveal all the ways master filmmakers reveal information, controlling how an audience reacts to your story every step of the way. Good, effective stories don't happen by accident. They're crafted. And just like you can't build a house without the proper tools, you can't build a good story without understanding the different ways to convey information to your audience for maximum effect.
He'll show clips and stills from a range of classic films (new and old) to illustrate these ideas, and answer all your questions. You'll walk away with the ability to write better, direct more effectively, and watch movies with a new, keen eye.
Space is limited, so sign up early. If you can't make it, we'll send you a recording of the session.
