Here's a bit about me and Filmmaking and Video Production Hacks:

This course houses a collection of short films by international award winning writer/director Alex Ferrari, founder of Indie Film Hustle. He exploded onto the indie film scene with his break-through film BROKEN.

Shot on a budget of just $8000 and boasting over 100 visual FX shots, BROKEN became an instant indie film classic. He went on to sell over to $90,000 in DVDs by self distributing BROKEN.

He followed up BROKEN with the sweet and spicy film CYN, followed by the adrenalin filled Red Princess Blues (Starring Academy Award® Nominee Robert Forster (Jackie Brown), Richard Tyson (Black Hawk Down), Rachel Grant (James Bond 007).

These films have screened in over 600 international film festivals and have won countless awards around the world. I also share you you my 6 Secrets to get into Film Festival Cheap or FREE!

The critics agree:

"BROKEN is essentially a demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques...effective and professional." - Roger Ebert (Chicago SunTimes)

Included in this collection is almost 9 hours (and growing) of a guerrilla indie film school (over 50 videos). Film School Hacks goes through pre-production, production, post production and what to do after your done shooting your indie film. The Ultimate Indie Filmmaker's Course.

All they have done is to take their old short films' dvds together. Although I won't deny that there is an opportunity to learn here, but it definitely isn't worth the price. There are plenty of filmmaking courses on Udemy that are much better. This is just a bunch of old products recycled for churning out more money from them.

I'm not sure I would rate it as I expected, but I completed the course anyway. There is little actual instruction here. Most of the content is discussion between the film producer and individuals related to the productions he has made. It6s worthwhile, but as I indicated its not what I had expected.
