Review of Film School Secrets - Preferred To Top Film Schools?

Film School Secrets extended box imageFilm School Secrets is the online film school course that has finally gotten everyone questioning the value of film schools. You may have heard some buzz about this or seen articles elsewhere. A lot of former film school pupils are pronouncing "About time someone spoke the truth!"

Assembled by former top film school graduates, a former NYU film school teacher and working filmmakers, this course unveils the two biggest nasty film school secrets: the best film schools are outrageously costly for what you get, and are next to useless for starting a job in filmmaking.

If you are even slightly considering going to film school please do yourself a favor and check out the course that everyone is talking about while it is still available.

Film School Secrets is currently selling at a very low price but has already seen one increase and will soon be raised again. Despite its still modest price don't believe this is a light, ineffectual course like many others. This filmmaking course is filled with the real insider secrets you need to finally start a real career.

The core of the instruction is 8 modules of video training:

Module 1: Learn what working in filmmaking actually is and why graduates of top film schools are laughed at by real working filmmakers and film directors. You just need to know the secrets to beginning a career today and not blowing time on senseless, pricey courses that turn you into a joke.

Module 2: Why pay to participate on a film school set and be taught by a teacher when you can do it for free? Better yet, why not get paid to work on a professional set making feature films? That's always been the fastest way to learn. You can do it if you know how.

Module 3: Get just the filmmaking skills you will need to get started. Many of the most celebrated film directors have all agreed that essential filmmaking skills can be learned in hours to days. It isn't that difficult to aim a video camera, folks!

Module 4: A movie is nothing unless it begins with a great story that audiences want to experience. Find what makes a great screenplay. How to find professionals who want to help you make your story great.

Module 5: How to get top experts to work for you for very little money, or even for FREE if you know what to say. Shooting movies requires more than one person so get the best helping you for a fraction of the price of four years at film school. Learn from the experts while you create your movie.

Module 6: Shooting a film in Hollywood can be a major disadvantage. Discover how to shoot away from Los Angeles like the big studios now do and lower you cost to a tiny fraction of what it could otherwise cost.

Module 7: Ways to create your own movies without any experience, equipment or knowledge of filmmaking techniques. (Yes it can be done!)

Module 8: Selling and distributing your film by utilizing the newest methods of digital and on-line distribution.

An important part of Film School Secrets is Seth Hymes' hilarious exposé book, Film Fooled, which takes you course by course through his actual experience at NYU film school, one of the top ten film schools in the world. Nothing will convince you of the uselessness of film school quite like getting to read the often infantile course of study taught by bumbling instructors with almost no filmmaking experience.

Seth also gives you access to the NYU Production Handbook which NYU claims is worth the cost of their tuition all by itself.

I was so motivated by this course that I decided to include my 350 page Filmmaking Reference e-book that sells for more than the current cost of Film School Secrets by itself if you order now. You can see how important I think it is for you to try this course before you apply to an expensive film school.

And perhaps the most valuable items:

The course includes interviews with highly paid filmmakers sharing all the secrets of exactly how they got in to exciting jobs in the film industry. These are your treasure map to your success, too.

Finally the course includes the ability to contact and ask questions of the authors of the course for no extra cost. Invaluable!

Pros and cons of Film School Secrets vs. a top film school

Pros:

  • Actually teaches how to get started as a filmmaker rather than a lot of theory that is useless in starting a career.
  • Following this course and actually doing what you will learn will literally save you years of your life and thousands of dollars getting started as a filmmaker.
  • A tiny fraction of the cost
  • You will complete the training in a matter of days

Cons:

  • The course doesn't try to teach you every detail about movie making. You will need to continue learning as you continue in your new career.
  • The materials are presented in online videos while some might prefer all the materials to be in a published book. All the same the videos are very clear and simple to follow.
  • Your friends and family may not believe you until they see your name in the credits on the big screen

By the time you complete these lessons you will know why film school is not what you need to become a filmmaker, and know alternate real-world strategies for getting started, plus you will have contact with experts who can help you along the way.

There is no risk as there is a complete, no questions asked, money-back guarantee for 60-days.The price has gone up once and will soon go up again.

What are you waiting for?
