No Budget Film School

10th Year Anniversary of a Classic

I had the recent opportunity to moderate the post-screening discussion at the 10th Anniversary Screening of "The Blair Witch Project" in Los Angeles. Cast and crew were on hand to regale the audience with exciting stories of how the film was made and the incredible ride it took on its way to becoming the most successful no-budget film in history. There are important lessons the making of "Blair Witch" can teach no-budget filmmakers, and none of them are what you're thinking or read. Read my current No Budget Report for The Three "M's" of "The Blair Witch Project"--the three reasons for its success.

I don't have any classes scheduled at the moment, but feel free to explore this site for useful content to support your no-budget filmmaking endeavors. I know this site looks like 1995, but I'm a producer not a web master and content is king here! You'll find helpful information--much of it exclusive--specifically designed for no-budget filmmakers.

Got a script and are ready to shoot? Can't wait for the next class? I offer private, one-on-one Consulting for no-budget filmmakers who need some guidance. Check out my No Budget Consulting Page for more information.

And I blog, Facebook and Tweet, so feel free to follow me here:

BE THE MEDIA!

Renowned media consultant and author David Mathison has assembled a who's who of new media experts and compiled his essential guide to the "personal media renaissance"--BE THE MEDIA. Until recently, publishing books, music and film required years of education and the expensive assistance of publishers, labels, studios, distributors and lawyers. Today, artists can leverage low-cost tools and new methods of distribution to connect with their audience directly, and keep more of their royalties and rights. This book covers everything from how to blog and podcast to the ins and outs of social networking and internet syndication. Specific chapters help authors, musicians, and filmmakers, (yours truly contributed to this chapter).
