Description

Filmmaking is an expensive and time consuming craft. At times, it can get frustrating. Based on my experience, I have come up with a compact and easy-to-follow approach to get started on your short filmmaking journey.


In this course, I talk about understanding what 'no budget filmmaking' is and what it entails. I will also guide you on how to produce a 'no budget' short film, utilizing whatever resources you have. I also teach successful approaches to producing a short film with a limited budget and finding the right target audience to get views.


Making films with a very limited budget is no easy feat. With the lack of funds, one must find clever and intuitive ways to make a film. My course will explore on how to develop these methods to your advantage. With references to other short films done with little to no budget, I share their approach and what worked for them too.


Learn why it is effective especially for young, aspiring filmmakers and step-by-step strategy in planning your no budget short film. Everything in my course is based solely on what I have learnt myself, my journey into making films and also finding a sustainable way to continue doing it.

Who this course is for:
