About This Course
Want to make a movie and don't know where to start? There has never been a better time to break into the film industry. Independent filmmakers are the toast of Hollywood. This is the course taken by the top filmmakers in Britain. The successes of The Queen, The Last King of Scotland, London To Brighton and Red Road have proven that independent filmmakers in Britain can use the techniques of this class to suceed. Now this course is presented in Toronto.

This intensive weekend seminar shows you how to shoot a 35mm colour quality feature film, ninety minutes long with a Dolby stereo soundtrack for as little as $20,000. We did it at Raindance. We made the 35mm feature film Table 5 for just £278.38 ($550.00). Share our first-hand experience in making movies that look great on a minimal budget. All formats, including film, HDV and HD, and even mobile phones are discussed

Elliot Grove has developed a clear process that will assist you in producing, directing and selling your first feature film. This is the step-by-step method which launches successful careers. Movies like Pi, The Blair Witch Project, Chuck and Buck, Clerks and El Mariachi were all made using the principles that are demonstrated through lecture and video clips on this course. The writers, directors or producers of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Janice Beard 45 wpm, Lighthouse, Waking Ned, Sliding Doors and Memento have all attended this intensive seminar before making their first films.

A 100+ page workbook full of useful information is given to each participant. If you do not learn enough low budget tips to cover the cost of this course, we will refund you the difference.

This course is part lecture and part group discussion.
