How the Hands-On Film Program Works

 

1) Develop the Film Together

Meet live on Zoom twice a week (about two hours per session). We shape the script, break it down, build the shot list, and prepare like real filmmakers.


2) Shoot on a Professional Set

We film in Los Angeles using professional gear and a working crew. You step into real roles—directing, shooting, producing—and gain true on-set experience.


3) Edit, Deliver & Launch

After the shoot, we finish post-production together on Zoom. You receive your final 4K film, IMDb credit, your footage, and behind-the-scenes content to build your portfolio.
