I bought this course because it is specific to filmmaking. The information is dated and I didn't learn anything new. Even the interviews at the end are from one time Crowdfunding Campaigns and there are not any interviews with experts that have run multiple campaigns. I played the course at double speed while I was walking and kept hoping it would get to the useful information, but everything in this course was too obvious. I would pass on this course.
so far, so good

Well, the information is good - especially given the deep discount - even if getting a bit old now. But, it's hugely annoying that he keeps saying he'll post various text/links/documents and they're rarely there. Also, hasn't answer question in almost three weeks. Certainly worth the discounted price anyway.
Very well designed class.
An exceptional course loaded with everything you need for success!
Thanks a million.
It starts a bit too generic but from section 3 it starts getting deeper in the topics and gives a lot of really valuable information. It would be helpful to have a little more graphic content to help visualize the content (that's sometimes a bit hard to catch and follow), a list of the many links he mentions (as clickable links or text that can be copied and pasted) and a little updates cause some websites that are mentioned do not exist any more. But definitely worth, even as it is.
Valuable info, which is spawning new ideas.
very detailed
