Filmmaking: Write, Direct and Distribute Your Feature Film

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 9 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.

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.

Basic knowledge Students should love watching movies and desire to make their own. The equipment required is a computer with a basic text writing software, an HD camera (a cellphone may suffice), and the ability to download film editing software to their computer
