That April test run was a very valuable experience. I got terrific feedback, which has contributed greatly to the construction of this new, longer class. And I was surprised to discover how well the Zoom platform worked in terms of disseminating the information and being able to take and answer questions from attendees. In fact, according to attendees, that interactivity added a lot of value to the class, very much like it does in my live classes.
The course covers 8 Sections over four 2-hour sessions. Here's how it breaks down: - Key Principles of Successful No-Budget Filmmaking
- Development & Casting
- Budgeting & Financing
- Crew & Equipment
- Post Production & Festival Strategy
- Final Costs & Delivery
- Distribution
- Marketing
You will learn...
- How the film was developed and designed to shoot for “no money”
- My one-of-a-kind "no-budget" Budgeting Process
- How numerous “name” actors were persuaded to work on the film for SAG Ultra-Low Budget scale
- How the film was financed using personal funds and Kickstarter
- The innovative post workflow used to complete the film
- Exactly how much was spent in each budget category
- The Film Festival Strategy developed for the film
- The Marketing & Publicity techniques applied

- And much, much more...
The 4 sessions will take place on:
