“Accessibility is key in the digital age, and I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn high-quality filmmaking, regardless of their financial situation,” Dan stated. He emphasizes that the course is crafted to help both novices and professionals enhance their filmmaking skills without the financial strain typically associated with film schools or online courses.
The course’s curriculum is based on a “9 Part Structure” which includes stages like ‘The Idea’, ‘Story’, ‘Music’, and ‘Upload’, guiding learners through the nuanced steps of digital storytelling. This structure ensures that participants can follow along with ease and systematically apply what they learn to their projects.
