Is Filmmakers Academy worth it?

Is Filmmakers Academy worth it?

There are more ways to learn the art of filmmaking at this moment than ever before. While film school is still one of the best ways to network and learn the fundamentals, nothing beats on-the-job experience. 

Filmmakers Academy bridges the gap between the fundamentals and real-world experience. In fact, the Filmmakers Academy app is like having an expert in your pocket. It’s the closest way to get job training without walking on set or into the editing bay. 

But don’t just take our word for it, see what the experts are saying!

What sets Filmmakers Academy Apart From Other Online Film Programs?

Filmmakers Academy is not a replacement for film school. Yes, our courses are instructed by industry experts across various filmmaking genres. And yes, our lessons start at the fundamentals and progress to advanced tiers. 

But, Filmmakers Academy is not like other online film schools. We deliver an actual job training program for on-the-job experience. More specifically, Filmmakers Academy is an educational response from the industry to prepare filmmakers for the rigors of the job. Our instructors are industry leaders who actively work in the film and entertainment industry and serve as established mentors. They provide practical training and information that will impact your career as a filmmaker. 

Filmmakers Academy also makes it possible to interact with our mentors. We offer 1-on-1 mentorships to get career advice, notes on a project, and more in-depth training on a particular piece of gear or software. 

WHAT FILMMAKERS ACADEMY MEMBERS ARE SAYING 

Filmmakers Academy suits every kind of filmmaker. Cinematographers. Camera team. Directors. Documentary filmmakers. Colorists. Editors. Grip & Electric. Producers. Advanced. Beginners. Just out of film school. 

Your peers grew their careers as Filmmakers Academy members. But don’t just take our word for it, listen to what they have to say.

Quickly Gain the Experience that Took Our Mentors Years to Learn

Director of Photography Pow Shilo lensed projects for over a decade. It was when he joined Filmmakers Academy, that he evolved into the next phase of his cinematography career. 

“In only 3 years of studying this Academy, I had more knowledge than in my 13 years of practice in the cinematography life. Filmmakers Academy is my source of cinematographic knowledge, and I hope it can be for you, too.” –Pow Shilo, Director of Photography

The Bottom Line 

With all of the online film schools out there, it’s tough to find the right one. Filmmakers Academy is more than an online film school. This means that we are best suited for working filmmakers or those who want to pursue a career in the film industry.

According to OnlineFilmSchool.com, Filmmakers Academy is the best educational option offered online “if you want to work with a production team or on set.” 

From our filmmaking lessons and industry-leading mentors to community features and a powerful app, Filmmakers Academy is uniquely designed to fit the needs of filmmakers.
