An immersion approach to filmmaking instruction

Turning film school conventions upside-down, at a Filmmakers Boot Camp you start by doing, not by being lectured at.  Participants collaborate on each other’s projects, solving the same problems that confront pro filmmakers.  The instructors are with you every step of the way as your producers, your coaches, your know-it-all older siblings, and most important of all, your advocates.

Rather than separating filmmakers for individual shoots and then abandoning them to lonely hours of editing, the Filmmakers Boot Camp involves every student in every stage of every project, and every filmmaker shoots his or her film twice. Each participant becomes a better filmmaker by facing real-world creative challenges on 12 shoots and 12 edits, not just his or her own.  It's like taking a filmmaking program 12 times. 

Take a look at a Level II program schedule program here. We shoot and edit from 8 AM to 5 PM, with an hour-long lunch as a group at noon. We reconvene from 7 to 11 PM for topical screenings and discussions. The days are long, approximating the working hours of feature-film crews.
