Short Films 101: Make Your First Short Film

This course is a step-by-step guide for anyone aspiring to make a professional short film. Using one of my award winning short films Domestic Accident (2018) as an example, you would learn how to go from a simple idea to a finished film that you are proud of.

You”ll learn how to plan for preproduction, production and post production. I will be giving detailed production information on decisions made and why I made them; mistakes made and why some could not be fixed. Detailed insights and tips that would save you time and money when producing your short film

You”ll also learn about resource filmmaking and how it can be a powerful tool for storytelling

Why Listen to Me?

I’ve worked on over 12 short films and 15 feature films that have screened across Toronto, Paris, London, India, Morocco and Rwanda. I’ve also worked on projects for organizations and brands like Guinness, SuperSport, Facebook and World Bank.

Course Requirements

What this Course is Not

This is an introduction course to making short films. Some level of filmmaking knowledge would be an added advantage. BUT It is not for seasoned film professionals who have been working for years
