NO BUDGET FILM SCHOOL PRESENTS:
"The Art & Science of No-Budget Filmmaking"
Saturday & Sunday, August 20 & 21, 2011 * 9:30am - 6:00pm
Raleigh Studios - Los Angeles, CA
For more information and to register, visit:
http://nobudgetfilmschool.eventbrite.com/
No-Budget first-features launched the careers of filmmakers like Christopher Nolan ("Inception," "The Dark Knight"), Joe Carnahan ("The A-Team," "Narc"), Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan," "The Wrestler"), Marc Forster ("Quantum of Solace," "Monsters Ball"), David Gordon Green ("Your Highness," "Pineapple Express"), Justin Lin ("Fast Five," "Fast & Furious"), Tim Story ("Fantastic Four," "Barbershop"), and Craig Brewer ("Footloose," "Hustle & Flow").
These first films all went through the offices of Next Wave Films, the former low-budget financing arm of The Independent Film Channel. Now producer Mark Stolaroff, a principal of Next Wave, is sharing what he's learned from years in the trenches in this in-depth, one-of-a-kind no-budget filmmaking immersion.
Micro-budget (under $200,000) filmmaking is unique--the methods, models and priorities are radically different from those of studio or even "low" budget $1 million films. Learn the rules of micro-budget production critical to making this type of film successfully, whether your budget is $200,000 or $2,000. These cutting edge techniques can NOT be found in a book, at film school, or in other film classes. For filmmakers who are preparing to make micro-budget features, this class is indispensable. The approaches taught will enable filmmakers to maximize very limited resources and minimize critical errors that can doom otherwise worthy projects.
If you're through talking about being a filmmaker and ready to become one, this will be the most practical filmmaking course you will ever take!
Guest speakers include:
Peter Broderick (President, Paradigm Consulting). Considered one of the world's leading authorities on alternative distribution strategy.
Evan Glodell & Vincent Glashaw, (Filmmakers, "Bellflower"). Shot for $5k with a homemade camera, "Bellflower" was a hit at this year's Sundance and SXSW and is opening theatrically Aug. 5th.
Matt Radecki (Producer, "Marwencol"; Founder, Different By Design). A prolific producer whose post house caters to independents, Matt will discuss no-budget post.
Other Speakers TBA
AND...
No Budget Film School is also presenting Tom Provost's "Cinema Language: The Art of Storytelling" class the following weekend, August 27-28, and for the first time we're offering a special discount to folks who take both classes. More information on Cinema Language can be found here:
