Learn filmmaking from script to screen with a working industry professional. Classes will focus on developing practical skills in production planning, script breakdowns, scheduling, crew roles and set organisation, while gaining the confidence to understand and work within real film production.

Based on my production-office and filmmaking experience, I offer lessons around:

• How a film production actually works
• Production coordination/production office
• Script breakdown
• Scheduling and stripboards
• Call sheets and production paperwork
• Pre-production planning
• Working with departments
• Crew roles and hierarchy
• Locations and logistics
• Travel & accommodation for cast/crew
• Production budgeting basics
• How to prepare for your first professional set
• How to move from student/independent filmmaker into the industry
• Producing a short film from script to shoot
• Film project development
• Portfolio/CV preparation for film jobs
• Understanding the difference between APOC, Production Coordinator, Producer, AD department, etc.

I also teach how to read, prepare and develop production documentation, communicate effectively with different departments, and approach a professional film set with confidence. We can explore practical networking beyond the set, including film festivals, industry events and professional contacts. The classes are designed to support your career development and learning curve through practical exercises, real-production-based templates and guidance tailored to your goals. Each lesson can be adapted to your experience and ambitions, whether you are completely new to filmmaking, studying film, developing your first project, or looking to transition into professional production. My aim is to make the industry easier to understand, helping you turn knowledge into practical skills and approach opportunities with greater confidence.
