Reviews of Hollywood Film Institute

★★★★★
Mike Perlin Non-Academic Staff Member, 21-Mar-2003
This is the acclaimed "2-Day Film School" from Hollywood that launched the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, Chris Nolan, Guy Ritchie and many more. The Cost of the class is only $299. We teach you how to produce, direct, write, finance and distribute a feature film. It's for adults. It assumes you have talent...we can't teach that. No baby talk, We don't say....Got to have heart, passion, talent, great script, great crew, organized....that's stuff all true but you don't learn anything...you've heard that 40 times already. When you make a film you write 38 bank checks. Film stock, lab, camera, sound, insurance, actors. Do you know how to buy film stock? How many feet to buy, where to buy it? Do you pay retail? This is what we teach....the 38 bank checks are the 38 steps of filmmaking. We don't call low - budget $1M, $2M or $3-$5M Low-Budget in Independent terms is $10,000 to $300,000 and we teach how to squeeze the 38 bank checks into that amount. Day 1: FILMMAKING: PRODUCE & DIRECT and the 38 bank checks. Day 2: FILM BUSINESS: DISTRIBUTE & SELL Festivals, Film Markets, Foreign sales, Video & cable Deals Day 1 is Making the movie Day 2 is Selling the Movie
