Description
If you're ready to take your filmmaking dreams to the next level, then this is the course for YOU!
This course is going to demystify the process of making professional, broadcast quality documentary content, and then show you what most instructors don't - how to actually sell that content to broadcasters.
I will walk you through the entire process, step-by step. This covers pre-production, production, post-production, and selling!
How do I know all this? Because I did it all myself, with two friends and hardly any money. And our series ended up on television in Australia and Europe, as well as Netflix internationally and Amazon Prime.
We didn't have a coach to walk us through the entire process, but you will. I'm going to walk you through it all. Whether it's figuring out how to prepare for your shoot and what equipment you might need, to filming it all then putting it together in post-production, how to export it to broadcast standards and the different ways shows are sold, as well as what the selling process looks like. I'll even cover some psychological aspects of undertaking a project like this.
If you thought it wasn't possible to get your documentary film or series onto a platform like Netflix, then think again! This course is for any filmmaker who has a shoestring budget and a can-do attitude!
Who this course is for:
- Filmmakers who want to take their careers to the next level.
- Anyone who wants to learn how to make and sell their own documentary film or series.
