Do I need to already have a finished script or idea?

Nope. You can come in with:
-a fully formed script
-a rough idea
-or just a “I know I want to make something, but I have no clue what yet”
We’ll help you shape your idea into something clear, shootable, and actually doable.

Perfect—this is exactly who it’s for. This workshop is designed for:
-actors who want to create their own opportunities
-writers who want to see their work on screen
-first-time directors who are ready to actually make something

You don’t need to already identify as a “filmmaker”—you just need the desire to make a project.

That’s one of the biggest things we’ll cover. We’ll walk you through:
-realistic budget ranges
-where your money actually needs to go
-and how to scale your idea to match your resources

Even better. We break everything down in a way that makes the process feel clear, manageable, and actually doable.
No prior experience needed—we’ll walk you through what happens, when it happens, and how to handle it.

Yep. All attendees receive replay access.
