It is extremely high value for the money, especially compared to film school. YMMV, but IMO the money you would spend on film school is better spent on making films to build your skills and portfolio. This curriculum tells you exactly how to do that.

The school asks you to invest in equipment, but if you have any doubts just try it out and watch some of the videos before buying cameras etc. I only bought equipment after I was confident that this curriculum could give me the skills to be able to make my own films if I did. If you don't like the curriculum, you're only out <$100 (and I think you can get a refund). If there's even a chance that you can get what you want out of a film school for $100/month + ~$12k in reusable equipnent, that's probably worth investing in for a trial.

A note on the other reviewer who said "all the info is on youtube for free." He's not exactly wrong. However if you're like me, you don't know what you don't know, so you'll never find it without a curriculum like this. For example, I could use reddit to learn that lighting is more important than the camera for production value, and I can go to youtube and google "how do I light a scene." But I would never know to also look for videos about light meters, gray cards, gels, etc. I wouldn't know to look for a video specifically the relationship between my camera settings and and the lights on my set. If you follow this curriculum step by step, you end up with a short film at the end. I'm not confident you can say the same about a self-directed youtube experience - but if you can, sure go for that.

I just wanted to make a film. At least one no matter how B-Quality it might turn out. I was just going to buy a cheap camera or use my phone. I ran into some videos online that led me to this school. I was dreading the thought of taking lessons and possibly sitting for hours of listening to nonsense. I didn't know what online school was all about but I took a chance thanks to the kindness of the school leader. The courses turned out to be incredibly easy to understand, very casual in a good way and extremely helpful. The teacher has been very communicative every time I had a question. Because of these courses, I now have knowledge of software and hardware that I would have never learned on my own and my short film turned out to look way more professional than I have ever dreamed. You are taught everything under the sun. Not only that, but I have confidence of creating more than one film. I can create several. I am very thankful for this school and the teacher. One of the best experiences I've ever had. I totally recommend it.

It's been few days since I started taking lessons and I really liked the lessons they are not too long easy to understand and navigating through these are very easy the community is diverse and we can learn while interacting with different people.

I’ve been involved in this online film school, and it’s genuinely been a standout experience. The course is self-paced and extremely well-structured, with clear communication and a highly supportive community. It’s helped me refine my storytelling and deepen my technical skills, and I’ve already been able to apply what I’ve learned directly to my filmmaking career.

The alumni network functions a bit differently than a traditional in-person program. While the global reach is a major advantage, it naturally makes spontaneous meetups or hands-on collaboration less common. For me, this hasn’t been a drawback, and as the school continues to grow, I expect its community circles to strengthen and naturally create more opportunities for in-person meetups.

Overall, it’s a five-star experience in terms of clarity, support, and practical impact.

An online “school” with no accreditation or legal accountability, promises “something no other school guarantees” which is just that you make a short film. Most film schools also guarantee you make films so this is a false statement. It would likely be better and certainly cheaper to just learn the same stuff from cheaper online platforms like Lynda, skillshare, or masterclass where at least the person teaching probably has some real experience in the industry especially given that success is self-determined in this course and those. Has a single “instructor” who has a BFA from a for profit university who itself got in trouble for defrauding accreditors about the success and training they provided. All that to say by any legitimate program standard they would not be allowed to instruct. Think long and hard about spending money here.
