No Budget Film School began in 2005 to give filmmakers the know-how that was lacking from other traditional schools and workshops, and to teach them how to make films with only the resources they currently have available–embracing their limitations to focus on the most important elements, rather than getting discouraged. Founder Mark Stolaroff informs the NBFS from his own no-budget experience, working at Next Wave Films (which supported the likes of Christopher Nolan), viewing thousands of micro-budget films and relationships with working directors.
No Budget Film School’s next class is August 20-21, and guest speakers include Bellflower‘s Evan Glodell and Vincent Grashaw, Marwencol producer Matt Radecki and Humpday‘s Joshua Leonard. More details below. Sign up here. Here’s more on Bellflower.
