How to Kickstart your first Documentary Film EVER - The 22 Steps from Pre-production to Pitch Deck

Often beginners want to run ahead of themselves when starting out making the first documentary. 
I did. I was just so impatient, wanting everything NOW.

I did not do enough preparation in pre-production with my first full length feature - DUST, A SCULPTOR'S JOURNEY, and had to go back to get release forms, do REAL research and this wasted so much time, but I learnt a big lesson. To prepare, prepare and prepare.
​
This is why it is so important to understand the preliminaries of pre-production when starting out with your first documentary.

• pre-production is where you  carve your story
• find the elements
• begin to do preliminary shooting

As beginners, there is a lot to learn. It CAN become overwhelming. This is why I created The 22 Steps to break each stage down simply to get you taking action asap.

I will be launching these online course early next year, and I promise you, this will be one of the best presents you can gift yourself

This online course is for absolute beginners or those who have an idea for a documentary film but don't know where to start. I will be walking you through 22 Simple Steps where you will find the idea and bring it to fruition, even in this Covid pandemic.

At the end of this course you will

• have your idea, researched it, grasped the legalities, know where to get funding, interviewed subjects, taken location shots, shot 'B-roll' and learned how to do an elementary edit
• know your target audience, find supporters, write your logline and synopsis and have a great Pitch-Deck to secure funding if you need it, and show to future collaborators
