Customer Reviews
One of the BEST Film Production Podcasts!
I must say, while it does take quite a while for Lou to get these episodes out, they provide very solid concise information that is much easier to understand than reading some film book.
Very insightful, get into the nuts and bolts of filmmaking!
I recently enrolled and cannot believe how in depth your program goes into such things as screenwriting, directing even an entire course on creativity! I tip my hat off to you! I am a low budget filmmaker with only a handful of shorts to my name. I am learning a great deal with film school online and best of all I can take the courses any time! Thank you for a job well done! I highly reccommend your program to any and all people who would like to avoid the high cost of film schools and still get a great film education.
Great resource
I love this podcast. I wish there we're lots more. This is a quality podcast for budding filmmakers.
