Thinking about changing careers and curious about going into the film business, but you have no clue what to do? Here’s the good news ---- You Don’t Need To Go to Film School!!

Start making films right away. You DON’T need 4 years of film school or over $50,000 in student loans.

Learn how to produce a film with very little money and limited resources from a filmmaker who only a few years ago was JUST LIKE YOU – wanting to learn more about how to get involved in the film business. Producer Kim Fishman came from the corporate world without any experience in film and dove into the film industry using her business skills and savvy. Filmmaking IS a business and those who say its art have never made a successful film.
