Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

Our new series, Making It, takes you inside the entire filmmaking process and shows you how to make a movie. We take you through each step of pre-production and show you how building a proof of concept can be a big step in cultivating your directing career. This series will take you through the complete filmmaking process.

We show you how to build your own directing career with a proof of concept for a tv show idea or a movie idea you may have. Writing a screenplay or pilot is an important part of the filmmaking process, but getting that pilot script produced and financed can be difficult, and even if you do get someone to accept your script there is a small chance it will be given the attention it needs to become a produced film or tv show.

That’s why you need a tv show proof of concept.

TV producers, talent agents, managers - all are super busy and don’t have time to read through a bunch of “could be great” scripts. However, people will watch just about anything, especially if it only takes less than 15 minutes. That’s why you can take matters into your own hands and build a proof of concept for a comedy TV show just like we did.

You’ll see as we tackle everything from: Directing Screenwriting Cinematography Producing Actor Auditions Production Design Makeup Artists Sound Mixing & More

If you’ve ever wondered about how to make a short film, this new series will teach you much of what you need to know, and you’ll be able to watch a working film producer and screenwriter/director as they navigate the entire filmmaking process. You’ll learn things here that you won’t find in film school, and our team uses many high-level filmmaking tools in our quest to teach you how to make a TV show starting with a pilot presentation.
