NEXT CLASS SCHEDULED!

Don't Miss Kiss

No Budget Film School is BACK! After taking a hiatus to develop and produce my new film, "Pig," No Budget Film School is back in action with my two-day "The Art & Science of No-Budget Filmmaking" class, scheduled for May 30 & 31, 2009 in Los Angeles. This figures to be my best class yet, with more hard-learned lessons from the no-budget trenches, updates on tools and techniques, and valuable advice from successful no-budget filmmakers on the cutting edge of micro-budget filmmaking in the 21st Century. Here's who's scheduled to appear this time around:

Peter Broderick (President, Paradigm Consulting)
Jay Duplass (Director, "The Puffy Chair," "Baghead")
Alex Holdridge (Director, "In Search Of A Midnight Kiss")
Gregg Bishop (Director, "The Other Side," "Dance Of The Dead")
Matt Radecki (Co-Director, "TV Junkie"; Founder, Different By Design)

BE THE MEDIA!

Don't Miss Kiss

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).
