No time for film school? No problemo!

In 2014, I bought a DSLR camera (go team Rebel T3i) and I started re-teaching myself filmmaking. I'd had two years of film studies in high school, but that sure as heck wasn't enough to launch my freelance career. I made a lot of mistakes, and my goal is to help you avoid most (or all!?) of them. If you're on the path to becoming a full-time creative, a solo filmmaker, or you dream of making narrative films, welcome! You're in the right place. Yes, you can do this alone. But it's a lot more fun, if you've got someone hanging out with you.

Learn Solo Filmmaking. Be your own damn boss.

As a solo filmmaker, you call the shots. You run the camera, sound, lights. And you're in charge of the edit!  Become a solo filmmaker in this 6-Week Filmmaking Class!
