Make and Sell a Feature Film with No Money

Good information for me as a potential person doing a low budget film. Got me straight in terms of actors, basic crews needed. Ways to get funding or deferred payments. Will utilize information gained here to bring out a moview on a shoe string budget.

This classes are not made for those who want to learn the basics of film making But this is one of the best videos for an aspiring film maker.

This class was excellent--just what I was looking for! I enjoyed how the class was taught. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and articulate. The delivery was conducive for learning. I gained a wealth of information for making my film, it no longer feels impossible. I can't wait to get started!

I recommend the course “Make and Sell a Feature Film with No Money.” It is succinct, to the point, and provides practical advice. It clarifies what it is, by highlighting the curriculum – balancing “good, fast, and cheap,” what type of movie to make with writing parameters, the producing strategy, production tips, directing within your budget, and distribution and marketing tips. It takes you through the whole film-making process. It also presents strong points for why limiting yourself can actually be more creative. It presents the idea that limits can be freeing, thus satisfying both the practical and creative side for the film maker. It also clarifies what it does not do, which is actually great – it is not trying to cover everything about film making, it is covering specifically covering how to make a film with no money. It assumes people already have some very basic knowledge of the process, and it helps them take that knowledge to the next level. The teacher is enthusiastic about teaching this – his manner is personable and approachable. It truly feels authentic that he speaks from first hand experience. It does not feel like he is reading from a script, he speaks in a natural manner. He shares personal examples and stories throughout by sharing his own experiences – what worked, what did not. He also has “behind the scenes” shots of his own film sets to further highlight his tips. These examples really solidify what he is saying. To help make the material manageable, it is all broken down into short, clearly labeled increments. This makes absorbing the material easier. Transcripts and closed captioning are also provided, further making it easier to learn. Overall, this course provides a lot of practical advice presented very succinctly. I am glad I took this course.

Yes, perfect match for what I was looking to learn. The basics of getting started; the pros and cons of making the plan of filming. The instructor is clear, concise and explains the why's and why not's of making your film. Great advise given in an easy understandable way.

This course is great because its direct and gives lots of good advice. I understand it very clearly and the visuals are very good

That was amazing! It's amazing how it goes through all the production processes, from concept to production and finalization. It's not something you can find on youtube! I am really happy to have had the opportunity to learn more and objectively! You know those between the lines that no one speaks? Yes he talks about and explains in a simple way! Thanks for doing this!

Wow, this course is amazing so far. From the knowledge I learned studying electronic media myself, plus this course, it can really teach you step by step how it really is that simple to make a movie on a low or no budget. Highly recommend you check this out

While most courses are focused on getting the most out of your camera, this course is focused on getting the most out of each dollar and minute you spend. This is the business and practical side of filmmaking that aren't typically taught in film school. Isaac speaks from years of on-the-ground experience. Save yourself money and headaches and take this course!

This is a great class for learning about low budget filmmaking! Many practical steps for pre-production and marketing, really enjoyed taking notes and learning how to be successful as an independent filmmaker.

Without even watching all the videos yet, but knowing the skill and intentionality of Isaac Stambaugh, this instructional series will be an invaluable resource for beginner to seasoned filmmakers alike. I am so excited this project has come to fruition and I am personally enthused to learn all the tips, tricks, and wisdom Isaac has to offer, drawing from his many years as a passionate and productive filmmaker.
