Better to do a cheap or free online course
Reviewed by: Online Research
Degree: Other
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.

Shouldn't you actually experience a film school in some way before leaving a review?

No other film school will offer a full refund after graduation like Write & Direct. Our guarantee is unmatched. Go to AFI, USC, UCLA...take your pick. Ask them if you can get a full refund at the end if you don't 100% complete your own film. They will not issue a refund. But we will. Why? Because we believe in our training and are in the business of helping filmmakers, not depleting bank accounts.

Platforms like Masterclass don't even come close to providing the detailed training we provide. Sure, it's a lot of fun to watch Aaron Sorkin, Ron Howard and James Cameron. But they are giving tips to established filmmakers. They are not teaching someone new to the craft how to actually make films from idea to end credits.

Check out hundreds of positive reviews on the school's YouTube channel (Write & Direct).
