Taught by producer Nat Dinga, this dynamic six-week course is designed for aspiring filmmakers eager to write and produce media content with the resources at their disposal, with an emphasis on short film production.
Inspired by success stories like The Blair Witch Project and Clerks, you'll learn to identify and leverage your available actors, locations and equipment to bring your ideas to life. We'll cover essential strategies for story structure and practical production decisions that maximize your resources for production. Additionally, this course will focus on budgeting, scheduling, casting, finding crew, and next steps after your project is completed (festivals, distribution).
By the end of this course, you will know how to transform your ideas into a tangible project and strategically leverage that work to advance your career as an independent filmmaker.
