Moviemaking is a remarkably flexible art form. You can invest millions of dollars on special effects, crew and locations, and create a blockbuster. Or you can get a bunch of friends together, borrow or buy some high-end consumer equipment and create the next indie masterpiece. If you've ever dreamed about seeing your movie on the big screen, and your name in the credits and promotional materials, this 2-hour crash course is the place to start. You will receive insider perspectives on every aspect of low-budget filmmaking from industry professionals who have been there, done that.
Jacqueline and Kerry Donelli are the new breed of indie filmmakers who embody the sort of true independence that inspired the independent film movement in the past. They not only break the rules but work creatively within them. They will show you how, with a few little-known secrets, you can take control of your film career. For their film Titillating Steven (available on Netflix), they did everything from coming up with the story idea and writing the script, hiring crew and casting talent, to getting SAG lisensure/insurance and an editor -- all with a one-person crew. Their film was accepted by nine film festivals, and they walked away with four awards!
These award-winning filmmakers will guide you through everything from idea conceptualization and screenwriting to how to direct, edit and market your film. You will learn how to formulate your idea into a script, how to hire a one-person crew, how to get free talent, free locations, and free music, and how to shoot your movie. They will provide tips on how to pitch your movie, how to submit to film festivals and other film marketing channels, how to sell your indie film to Hollywood, and how to survive the process and go on to make another.
