99 Minute Film School: Introductory Filmmaking Class

Of course, we can’t teach you everything there is to know about filmmaking in 99 minutes, but you’d be surprised how much you can learn about making films and the film industry in just a single evening. The 99 minute film school will run through the core essentials you will need to make a film and create a plan to launch your career, with dozens of tangible tips on everything from sourcing your film crew, marketing your film and finding work on film sets.

By the end of the class, you have an introductory understanding of:

• Finding a viable script
• Sourcing cast and crew
• Shooting tips
• Getting your film seen
• Social media basics for filmmakers
• The career ladder
• Distribution and exhibition
• Money and how to get paid
