Description

Learn the secrets of filmmaking starting with finding (and getting) financing, to successfully the process of surviving production, to distribution, and everything else between, by me Adam Bhala Lough, a Spirit Award-nominated, 3-time Sundance Film Festival alum and one of Filmmaker Magazine's top 25 filmmakers from Indie to Follow.

What am I?

I'm an internationally-acclaimed veteran of 14 years with four documentaries that are currently available streaming on Netflix and three of them were the top documentaries on the iTunes chart. I've experienced a tremendous amount of success in my professional career but I've repeatedly failed times. Learn from my mistakes and what I did wrong in the process so that you don't repeat the same mistakes again.

I'm also a teacher at one of the Sundance Native labs and Latino Screenwriting labs. I was also an instructor in this year's SXSW Film Festival, so I'm experienced in teaching in a succinct and simple method.

This course is to be used for:

• Filmmakers who are just beginning need a plan to guide them through the complex and often baffling task of being documentary filmmakers (what exactly is it that we do?)
• The people who will gain the most from this class will be those preparing to start their second or first feature or short documentary film
• Veteran documentary filmmakers that want to learn my tricks, shortcuts, and hacks. I learned these through experience from the direction of eight feature-length documentaries
