Together, we’ll unlock a framework for how to take your idea, talent, and resources and put them in motion toward making and selling your own feature film. You’ll discover the elements of a screenplay that raise or lower a budget and how to address them without losing quality. Find out how to access a crew and equipment without spending money, and why they’ll thank you for it. Learn how to structure your budget and your production days in the most efficient and effective ways. Explore the secrets of distribution so the largest number of people can see your creation. With this key information, some disciplined writing, and a little initiative, you’ll be equipped to stop dreaming and start doing.

I used this same framework for several narratives and documentaries and each film played in festivals, won awards, and received distribution. Including my $2,000 feature that landed on iTunes. This is not film school theory and a deep dive into the art of cinema. That stuff is great and you can learn it elsewhere. We’re going to talk about the types of scenes to write, crew to hire, and strategies to implement that will launch you into a successful production. I’ll take it step by step through each phase of the production process from screenwriting and development, pre-production, production, post, all the way through marketing and distribution.
