What you'll learn

  • You will be able to make an award-winning documentary.
  • You will be able to raise money for your project.
  • You will be at a HIGHER level than you were before.
  • You will get UNIQUE and EXCLUSIVE information on how you can make, sell and release your film without a big crew!

Requirements

  • You have basic or more experience in working with film/video.
  • You want to learn how to make a ground breaking documentary.
  • The course is more useful if you have an idea and know what you want to make. Even if you haven't started yet.

Description

Who is this course NOT for:

You need to have some basic filmmaking knowledge and skills. If you've never made at least a 3-5 minute story and video, this course will be too advanced for you.

Why take this course?

You won’t need a big team, budget, or a fancy diploma for my course. All you need is a story, and I’ll help you turn it into a documentary. This course is a view into my life, and how I make my documentaries. It takes you through the exact steps I took, when I made my award-winning film The Pearl of Africa and I’ll even share my personal lists of grants and festivals I applied for. It’s like a mentorship, with me, for your future film.

What you will get:

  • 42 lectures

  • 5-hours of educational content. 

  • Lifetime access to our online community

  • Lifetime access to all assignments that will take your project to the NEXT level. 

  • A unique insight into the life of a documentary filmmaker.

  • Pure and practical advice that you won't get in a film school or in a book.

  • ALL templates you need to make a documentary (pitch deck, budget, contracts, list of festivals and funders etc).

  • Personal advice  from an award-winning director and producer.

Who am I to teach you? 

Investing in yourself is the most important thing if you want to make a living working with a profession like this. During my 15 years as a professional filmmaker, I've invested in online courses, books, talks and workshops. There's been good ones, but also a lot of bad ones. But the education has really helped me get to where I am today.

Sign up now and don't wait! If you're not happy with the course, I'd be more than happy to refund all your money within 30 days. But I hope that doesn't happen! 

See you on the other side!

Who this course is for:

  • A beginner, mid level or advanced filmmaker who wants to make a documentary.
  • A person who wants to become a professional and make a living on filmmaking.
