Amazing Film School Savings.com Pre-Launch Promotion
Has been extended!




Once in a while a program comes along that changes everything.  And for over 3,500 filmmakers, one program has changed everything they ever knew about raising money, developing, producing, marketing and selling their independent films without investing thousands, tens or even hundreds of thousands in film schools and failed projects.

This program changed their lives!


Before we proceed, take a minute now and grab a pen and paper...this is important ...then write down the things you want to change about your life with regard to your current filmmaking career

Most of you may not even have a filmmaking career yet, so you could begin by writing something like this, "I want the freedom and the knowledge to make the movies I want to make."  Then proceed to list anything else that comes to mind concerning what you need to know to make that goal a reality. 

Ready?  Begin!


NOTICE:  Please read the following message from our founder in it's entirety before you continue

"As part of our pre-launch promotion, we are only allowed to offer enrollment in this program to the next 100 students at it's lowest price ever.  This is NOT a marketing ploy.  In fact, this may be the most important letter you've ever read.  We know that only the hungriest of filmmakers will be the first to jump on this and it is for them we are offering the full benefits of this rare opportunity.  Once it's gone, it's gone and the price returns to Full Tuition.  We may be able to work out another deal with the Hollywood Film Institute at some point in the future...(but I doubt it). 
"This program is for serious filmmakers ONLY.  If you look at filmmaking as a hobby rather than your future career, then this filmmaking course is NOT for you. 
"If you are not ready mentally, emotionally, or physically to make the leap to a successful filmmaking career, then this course is NOT for you!  (Notice I didn't say 'ready financially.'  This course tells you how to realistically get all the money you need for your first feature films.  So don't worry about the money.)
"We will sell out, and once these 100 spots are gone, there's nothing we can do. 
You've been waiting for your opportunity...this is it.  It's now up to you."

Want to know what the top websites are charging in tuition
for the
2-Day Film School TM

Here they are...

DovSimensFilmSchool.com $495.00, or $395 online (PLUS Shipping if ordering the DVD's)

WebFilmSchool.com (<-- View your curriculum here) $395.00

WritersStore.com  $389.00

YourFilmCareer.com  $395.00

Every one of these sites charge nearly $400 to enroll!

Why

Look at the track record!  $400 is Nothin'!  Dov's classes sell out in every venue!  In comparison, there are 1 Day "Lighting for Digital Filmmaking" seminars in L.A. that cost over $700 and lighting for digital is not that different from lighting for film!  Key, back & fill. 

Don't know what that means? 

Then you definitely need this course!

It also amazes me that most people are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars ($100,000+) to attend a 4 year film school, but think $400 - $500 bucks is too much to pay for a proven, 1,000 hr, film production course.  When the truth is...

FACT More 2-Day Film School TM graduates have produced a feature film within 6 months of graduation than any 4 year film school graduate - EVER!*

*See Dov's Bio - Here


DVD Film School TM

  • *16 DVD's, 1,000 minutes of intense instruction

  • DVD Film School for filmmakers.  Filmmaking course

  • *4 thick comprehensive workbooks taking you from idea to financing (Hollywood and Independent financing) to answer print to distribution deal, step by step, line item by line item -real numbers.

  • *Production forms


  • *Talent contracts

  • *Realistic Movie Budgets for the Independent Filmmaker

  • *Option Agreements

  • *Industry contacts

  • *Learn how to collect a pay check during your months in production (My favorite)

  • *PLUS...a Producer's Diploma and Graduation Certificate once you complete the course.


If Dov were to teach you 1-on-1...

  • The hourly consulting fee is $550/hr, multiply that by 16 hrs. and you have $8,800.

  • $10,000 retainer fee + $150/hr if you want him as an assistant for your film

  • PLUS $2,000 per diem and a 5 star hotel...

Dov is Film School Royalty.  If you want him, you're going to pay well over $20,000 to have him!

Bonus #1 - Free with the next 11 enrollments!  $25 valueDov Simens filmmaking book "From Reel to Deal"

Dov's book, From Reel to Deal has been an invaluable resource and reference book for filmmakers when used in conjunction with the DVD Film School TM.

I ordered another case and I'm already down to  15 14 13 12 11,  10,  9,  8,  7,  6,  5,  4,  3,  2,  1!

 

 

Bonus #2 - My private e-mail access to J. R. Legend  Value = Priceless!Film School support

No, my ego's not that big, but let's face it, you're not going to have personal access to Tarantino, Spike Lee or Chris Nolan.  I'm not one of them...yet...but I am a recent 2 Day Film School TM grad who has been where they were and where you are now and I am currently where you want to be

Since I am keeping my identity anonymous - "J.R.Legend" - to avoid an onslaught of emails from annoying, skeptical wannabes, I am giving only those who are serious and who can be honest with themselves direct email access to me, for the next 6 months, allowing you to ask me any questions you have about the DVD Film SchoolTM, about starting your own production company or any filmmaking question you have.

How will I know you're a serious filmmaker?  You will have graduated from the DVD Film SchoolTM!

(As I said earlier, I am very busy now, so be patient with my responses until our film school grad forum is up and running.  Once the forum is active, you will be the first to receive access and I will no longer provide anyone, other than you and the few who enroll now, with my private email address.)

 

 

Bonus #3 - FREE Shipping!  Value = $30

Bonus #4 - I'll get your movie financed
Value = $5K - $250,000.00*

(My colleagues think I'm crazy, but I'm doing this anyway!)
Independent Film Financing
This course teaches you how to realistically finance your Independent film yourself, step by step.  You have to be a salesman and know, or know how to find, people with money. 

But some of you don't know people with large amounts of disposable income, or you suck at sales...or both.

I believe in the power of this program, and the quality of filmmaker it produces so much, that for the filmmakers who are ready to finance their movie within six months of course completion, and who meet the standards and expectations I set forth...,
 

I will open my book of Investors, pitch your project and personally work as
Your Executive or Associate Producer
for half my standard fee.

*Value reflects 50% savings on fees obtaining financing between 100K - 5M

- Orson Welles
Writer, Actor, Director, Producer...Legend 


Now's the time to take action and start Creating, Writing, Financing, Producing, Directing and Distributing the movies you've been playing in your head for years!

You have 2 choices:

  • 1. Keep struggling to make it as a filmmaker, getting ticked off anytime a new filmmaker comes out of nowhere raking in Millions on his first or second Indie film while you're still waiting tables, working as a PA for free on the side and pinching pennies to save for another worthless short film that you'll debut at a worthless local film festival hoping you'll be discovered...

  •  

  • Or, 2.  You can do what Tarantino, Lee, Nolan and 3,500 other Indie filmmakers have done and launch a real movie career by enrolling in America's #1 Film School - the Hollywood Film Institute's 2-Day Film School. TM

We are launching soon and time is running out to enroll at this price...and if you want Dov's book, FREE, you must be one of the next six to enroll.

So fill out the Pre-Enrollment form below and
enroll today... Right now... While it's hot on your mind!

Your friend in filmmaking,

 

P.S.  Still think you can't afford it? 

  • How much have you spent on pointless little short films that made you NO money? 

  • How many times have you asked friends and family for more money to make a movie? 

  • How much time have you wasted searching and chatting online trying to learn how to break into the film industry?

  • How much more money are you going to save, borrow and waste this year trying to break into the business?

  • How much more time and money are you going to lose, repeating the same mistakes, over and over, if you choose NOT to take advantage of what we're offering and enroll in the DVD Film School TM today?

You will spend more money on being a failure than you ever will on tuition to the most intense 16 hours of education you will ever experience.

Tarantino 2 Day Film School graduateWhat if Tarantino, on the budget of a video store clerk, said "I can't afford to take Dov's class..."?  (I think you know the answer to that.)  And how could he have come up with a few million for Reservoir Dogs if he hadn't been taught how to do it by Dov Simens' 2-Day Film School? TM

Don't tell me he was lucky! 

Empowered with the right information, Tarantino didn't wait for an opportunity...he made one!


The DVD Film School TM allows you the freedom to learn at home, at your pace and review it over and over again as many times as you want and for as long as you want!

Throw in FREE Shipping anywhere in North America when you enroll today, a FREE copy of Dov's book (if you're one of the next 6 to enroll), FREE Q&A support from me, personally, a 100% money back guarantee and your first opportunity to launch a REAL film career for only $319.00...

...you have to admit, that's a pretty sweet deal!

You will never find this course this cheap anywhere at anytime other than right now. 

You've spent your whole life waiting for an opportunity, now here's your chance...
 
What's it going to be?

P.P.S - Visual Proof?  Here is one of the clips from Dov's site, WebFilmSchool.com, explaining Hollywood's BIG LIE!  Now the DVD Film School TM will not be in this "one-on-one" format, it is actually a professional taping of the LIVE 2 Day Film School. TM

This course is for serious candidates ONLY!  Dov is bold and "in your face" to wake you out of your sleep of naiveté.  And if you can't take the heat...

...get out of the business!
 

"Dov Simens is one amazing teacher! In 2 days he covered an incredible amount of information in a clear, concise manner that was easy to follow. His examples were excellent and his attitude upbeat and very practical. He tells it like it is and then shows aspiring producers how to 'work with the system.'"

Sue Mirialakis, freelance
MediaBistro.com

Now before you make any judgements, remember, this is the guy who taught Spike Lee, Tarantino, Nolan, Luhrman and other big Indie filmmakers how to launch their filmmaking careers...so listen up!
