You don't have to wait for a green light from a studio to make your movie!

Audiences have never been hungrier for original content, and there’s nothing to stop you from giving it to them if you know how to produce an ultra-low-budget film.

In this exclusive Stage 32 4-part intensive course, you’ll get a step-by-step guide on how to get your film made. 

Not all movies need to cost tens of millions of dollars to produce. In fact, some of your favorite producers and directors, like Darren Aronofsky, Sam Raimi, and Robert Rodriguez, famously made films on ultra-low budgets early in their careers.

Now, it’s your turn.

Over four sessions, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how to produce an ultra-low-budget movie, including:

• Choosing the right story
• Perfecting the script
• Building your budget from pre-production through post
• Finding your funding
• Managing your team
• Locking locations
• Casting
• Insurance and safety considerations
• How to shoot fast safely
• Handling unexpected costs
• Finding distribution
• And so much more

To show you how it’s done is producer and unit production manager Aymie Majerski, the founder and CEO of LotusShark. She’s produced low-budget indies such as SANTA’S PROMISE, HEALING RIVER, NOTZILLA, 4192: THE CROWNING OF THE HIT KING, and 7 BELOW.

In addition to film projects, Aymie and her team at LotusShark produce digital content for Showtime, Spotify, HBO, YouTube Originals, the OTR International Film Festival, and more.

Not only will Aymie provide you with what she’s learned in her many years of experience, but she’ll also provide you with 25 pages of producer checklists that you can use from prep through post-production so that you’re prepared as possible well after the course has ended.

Don’t let fear, budget, or industry access hold you back from making the film the world is waiting to see. This class will show you how you can get it done!
