Dear filmmaking colleague,
Are you ready?
It’s time to join your fellow genre filmmakers and writers and get instant access and advice from world-class experts in the industry.
To maybe even break into the mysterious and exclusive realm of making your genre film successful. (Actually you’ll find it isn’t all that mysterious.)
This first-of-its-kind virtual VIP Genre Summit is coming, and it’s designed to get you there.
Most programs and so-called “master class” workshops are really just repurposed common knowledge.
For people who are serious about their craft, they want rubber-meets-the-road experience. Not just a workshop in theory but true operational excellence hacks.
Do you want to learn from a professor who’s well educated and made a few student films but never really broke into the industry as anything more than a key grip, or do you want the absolute best lessons from the experts who make the wheels of genre filmmaking turn? We won’t spend time on giving you lessons in film history or other theory. We’ll teach you to
- Get your film distributed.
- How to turn your idea into a cult classic.
- Develop a unique monster following a world-class blueprint.
- Making an unconventional genre film and stand out from the competition.
- Craft the ultimate pitch that will get your project sold.
I’ve brought you here to act, not to learn useless facts. This virtual summit experience brings you in front of true experts of the craft—We have arranged the world’s best genre professionals to share their secrets to success and how you can learn from their careers.
Success is simple: Learn from the experts, do the work, and forge your own path. This completely new summit experience leads you through each step perfectly.
We cover what most workshops don’t and start where most of them stop. More than just getting your project to become its best self creatively, this VIP virtual event leads you through the exact steps to achieve success:
- How to Produce Your First Feature Film or Short Film.
- A step-by-step approach on writing a buzz worthy screenplay and an effective strategy to sell it.
- How to get past Hollywood’s gatekeepers with your project.
- How to stop looking for any representation and find the right one for you.
In your VIP virtual summit you’ll meet with the writers, directors and producers of your favorite genre films to develop your own exclusive blueprint for taking your genre film from nothing to a cult classic.
So, welcome. Whether you’re looking to stretch or increase your budget, direct your actors better, create the ultimate villain, or learn what gets Hollywood to notice your work, you’ve come to the right place.
