Want to know how a feature film actually gets made from the initial blank page all the way to streaming platforms? In this ultimate indie filmmaking masterclass, join the creative team behind the hit feature comedy "Love at First Spite"—screenwriter/showrunner Jordan Imiola, director David Wingert, and co-writer/producer/actress Marisa Dzintars—for an unfiltered, step-by-step breakdown of how to make a movie from start to finish.
In this comprehensive 1-hour and 20-minute discussion, we pull back the curtain on the entire production blueprint. We detail the exact journey of the script (including how it initially started as a TV show concept), how we pooled our resources to produce the film, and the massive, unexpected ways the movie completely evolved during post-production. Whether you are a writer, director, or producer, this is your guide to navigating low-budget filmmaking without sacrificing quality.
If you want to stop making excuses and start making movies, you need a community of like-minded creatives to collaborate with.
