How do you know which of these information-packed home study courses is right for your film project?

If you’re not sure where to start, I highly recommend my most popular and comprehensive course, the “Ultimate Guide to Structuring Your Documentary”. This 12-module course is my best seminar, revealing how to structure any documentary aimed at large audiences and commercial success.

If you’re directing a character-driven documentary (following a character on a quest), you can’t go without “Editing the Character-Driven Documentary”. Filmmakers rave about this course, filmed at a live weekend seminar at the San Francisco Film Society.

And finally, if you’re at rough-cut stage, consider also getting “The Story Doctoring Kit”. This four-hour seminar will walk you through how to solicit useful feedback at rough-cut screenings and then “doctor” or fix the classic problems remaining in your film at late post-production stage.
