David Walker – 2 Day FILM SCHOOL (movie making)

The concept. Hollywood is a business. It is called show business. It is not called art. Anyone with talent can learn the business of making and selling Feature Films, even Documentaries and TV/Cable Programs once given the basic information.

The proof is there. The 2-Day Film School has launched 1000s of film careers and has led to over $16 billion.

The currency. The course assumes you have talent and is broken into two days, the first focusing on making a feature film and the second on selling it.

Day-1 You can create, write, package, cast, direct, shoot, and edit your first HD/Digital feature film on budgets from as little as $10,000 to as high as $10,000,000.
