Don't Go to Film School - Make Your Movie

Take it from someone who makes no budget films. And has had their films screen at over 300 film festivals around the world.

You don't have to go to film school to make a movie.

You don't have to go to film school to distribute and share your movie with the world.

Anyone can make a movie. With no money. And screen it around the world on movie screens.

There's a big film festival world out there. And they're hungry for new movies.

It never ceases to amaze me when I'm at a film festival with one of my films, I watch other films there, and there's an endless line of film credits. It's obvious that these filmmakers spent a lot of money, and had a nice sized budget to make their movie. But the films that are talked about the most at film festivals, and generate the most buzz, are the personal films. The films that only that person can make. The films that people are afraid to make or have no idea where to start.

It's a job. But you can make a movie and share it on the film festival circuit, with a great festival run without any or little money. I'm living proof.
