From our students

My sister and I took Ela's Producing Workshop and our lives have been changed forever. We have completed three of our own short films in less than 10 months, and produced numerous others in the Columbia, South Carolina area. In addition, we have given back by starting a film networking group in our area. Ela's workshops are worth every penny - and more.

Best writing course I have ever taken in my life; much more fruitful and comprehensive than most of my writing classes in film school. Finally, someone who teaches practical means and not vague concepts!

I have an MFA in Film & Television, and Ela Thier is the single best directing teacher I have ever seen. I've never witnessed a director bring a scene to life the way she did, and she did it repeatedly. Now I need to rethink everything I thought I knew about acting and working with actors. Thank you for life-changing instruction.

Directing The Camera had a huge impact on my creative practice. I used the techniques to produce a trailer that won a prize from Samsung and was demoed at Sundance earlier this year. I'd like to take all of your other classes.

FAQs

The courses are delivered as a series of on-demand videos, organized into short, bite-size but comprehensive units so you can learn it all – fast.

The courses allow you to skip around and reference the topics that are relevant to you at any given time.

Each module includes PDF cheat sheets outlining the bullet points of each lecture, and actionable exercises to get you on your way.

These courses are definitely for you. I don’t use industry jargon without explaining it, I leave nothing a mystery, and I assume no prior experience.

The only idea you need to get started is that you’d like to create a film or write a script.

I went to film school too. If you’re fortunate, you met a really great teacher. But in truth, everything I teach in these courses is something I’ve picked up since film school. These courses are the real-life stuff that you’ll need when rubber hits the road.

There have been experienced filmmakers who have taken my courses and told me that they were invaluable. The overall approach might be useful, or you might find that one tip that will be the difference between achieving your goals or not. And of course, the community and support are alone worth the price of admission.

All that said, you have 30 days to check out the courses before you make a commitment. If you work through modules 1-3 at minimum (but not more than half of any of the courses), you are free to request a full refund and receive it – no questions asked.

Please review the refund policy of each course for more details.

If you can’t afford the courses, then I don’t think you should enroll. However, if you plan to spend more than $1K making a film, then I say with confidence that this course is likely to help you avoid making mistakes that might cost you thousands or more.

Then there’s bringing your talents out of the dusty closet and into the world – that part can’t be measured in dollars.

As a micro-budget producer who’s had to make pennies stretch far, I know all about putting every last dollar on the screen and nowhere else. I speak with integrity when I say that the price of this course is a fraction of its value.

Celebrities can offer excellent tips and insights. But they can’t offer a complete system that takes you from A to Z.

Jodie Foster (I’m a big fan!) is not going to teach you how to approach friends, family, and colleagues to raise $6K so you can produce your calling card short. It’s not something she’s ever had to do. 

Martin Scorsese is not going to talk about how to find and choose the right production designer when you have $200 allotted for your set design.

David Lynch won’t tell you how to reach your audience with an $80K feature. These folks haven’t had to do these things. When they got started, this was a different industry.

Getting a slew of tips from celebrities who’ve worked within the studio system has its usefulness, but mostly it’s a more robust version of the “bonus features” you get after watching a movie. It’s not comparable to receiving guidance from someone who’s been in the trenches and knows, from having done it time and time again, how to turn sticks and rocks into an epic film or show, without waiting around for a studio or a name producer.

Yes, each course is covered by a 30 day money back guarantee. All you need to do is give the courses a try and if you’re not happy, email us at [email protected] within 30 days of enrollment and we’ll gladly return your money.

Please read the requirements of each course to qualify for a refund before enrolling. They are listed on the enrollment page for each course.
