Toronto: Stage 32 + Raindance - Lo To No Budget Filmmaking - In Person Class - 2 Days

Toronto 2-Day In-Person Film School - March 10 & 11

There’s never been a better time to make a movie

Some say it’s a terrible time to make movies. I hasten to disagree. Making movies using the old technology and the old business plan no longer works. If you understand how the industry now works, you can make a feature film, profitably. Is money an issue? Learn how to make your film with lo to no budget filmmaking techniques.

Show me the money!

All day every day I hear the same complaint: “But you need a million plus to make a movie these days. And money everywhere is tight.”

Oh, no you don’t. And, oh no, it isn’t!

New technology means it’s never been cheaper to make a movie — if you know the insider tips and secrets that will allow you to maximize your budget and put value for money on the screen.

The money is there for the asking. The trick is to know how to ask, how much, and what for. If you need proof that low-budget filmmaking is profitable, consider the success of 2011’s Insidious, the year’s most profitable film.

Over 15,000 film students and filmmakers have taken this course worldwide since 1993.

"I attended the Lo To No Budget Filmmaking course with Elliot Grove this weekend and would like to thank him and Raindance. I came away feeling as though I had been in the trenches learning from the Guru. I’m proud to say that Elliot has given me the great foundation of information to draw on." - Sharleen Tutton

At Raindance & Stage 32 we make filmmakers

If you expect to learn filmmaking, this is the wrong course for you. We recommend that you attend an institution where academics will lecture you. This course is constantly updated featuring the latest developments in production and distribution.

If on the other hand you want to learn how to become a filmmaker, how to kick start your career, then this Raindance course is for you. At Raindance & Stage 32 we make filmmakers.

Want to make a movie and don’t know where to start?

This intensive weekend seminar shows you how to shoot a 35mm or HD colour quality feature film, ninety minutes long with a Dolby stereo soundtrack for as little as $10,000. We did it at Raindance. We made the 35mm feature film Table 5 for just £278.38.

Share our first-hand experience in making movies that look great on a minimal budget.

All formats, including film and even mobile phones, are discussed

Elliot Grove has developed a clear process that will assist you in producing, directing and selling your first feature film. This is the step-by-step method which launches successful careers. Movies like Pi, The Blair Witch Project, Chuck and Buck, Clerks and El Mariachi were all made using the principles that are demonstrated through lecture and video clips on this course.

The writers, directors or producers of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Waking Ned, Sliding Doors, Shawn of the Dead, Slumdog Millionare and Memento have all attended this intensive seminar before making their first films. You can too.

When you sign up for the weekend, you will get $25 Off Stage 32 executive script coverage services!
