CASE STUDY — Darren Nielson

Darren Nielson, a business owner, started making videos for social media promoting his brand. He has no prior experience filmmaking, did not own any equipment, and didn't know how to tell his brand's story in a meaningful way that people would remember.

After taking the course, Darren’s videos didn’t just look more cinematic—they felt more engaging. Using the GLUE SCORE Framework, his content began pulling viewers in through powerful storytelling, leading to a noticeable boost in audience engagement.

Below are screenshots from his first video, to the videos he creates now after taking the course.

BEFORE

AFTER

Darren was able to use resources he already had access to like the lamp and the window to shape the light—creating a a stark contrast from his first video.

HOLLYWOOD EXAMPLE

Quentin Tarantino directed a thought-provoking MASTERPIECE that people still talk about to this day even though he had a very small budget, did NOT attend Film School, and did NOT have mind blowing cinematography.

Most beginners think that:

Fortunately... All 3 Of Those Are False And We'll Show You Why!

HOW WE CAN HELP

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS

We're Jordan and Tyson! We are aspiring filmmakers just like you. After years of trial and error, we knew there had to be a better way to make films. We spent upwards of $20,000 dollars on education and equipment, and months and months perfecting one short film only for it to fall flat in the end.

We decided on a new approach. What if we made a short film on a $0 dollar budget in one weekend, and repeated it until we found the perfect framework? Surprisingly, we saw a big improvement in our films and started winning awards at film festivals! After perfecting the framework, we realized that anyone could do this. Even if they had no experience, no budget, and only had their phone. That's when we came up with GLUE SCORE—a 9-Step Framework that allows ANYONE to make a compelling short film from scratch!

^{_{Collectively, we written and directed over a dozen short films}}
^{_{Jordan has made a feature length film (to be released in 2026)}}
^{_{We gained over 100k followers on social media by using our 9-step framework.}}
^{_{Won Multiple Awards at Film Festivals including}}^{_{Best Writing, Best Acting, Best Editing, and People's Choice.}}

YOU HAVE 3 OPTIONS

OPTION #1

FILM SCHOOL

Good Film Schools can cost upwards of $100,000! Although we both would have loved to attend a film school, we just did not have the means to make it happen. Instead we attended smaller universities that had film programs that, in total, cost us around $10,000 EACH.

We both really enjoyed the programs especially all of the connections we made with other filmmakers but found that most of the courses focused on film theory instead of filmmaking. We saw a bigger improvement in our skills from making our own films outside of the program which leads us to option #2

OPTION #2

DIY

This is the path we took—we spent countless hours watching YouTube tutorials, making film after film, and learning through endless trial and error. Progress was extremely slow, and every improvement felt hard-earned.

Looking back, it wasn’t the worst way to learn—but if we could do it over again, we’d absolutely invest in a solid filmmaking course or program. Just having a clear roadmap from the start would’ve saved us so much time and helped us create something truly great right out of the gate. And that's why we created Option #3

OPTION #3

48 HOUR FILM

The only online filmmaking course that walks you through the entire process of making a short film from scratch even if you have no prior experience!

Our 9-Step Framework is a repeatable formula for ensuring your film grabs people's attention and keeps them engaged the whole time!

We've taken everything we learned from our college film programs ($20,000) and all of our experience doing it ourselves (10 years) and put it all into this one course.so that you don't have to make the same mistakes!

Most Beginner Films look like this...

They lack a cinematic touch and fail to keep the audience engaged because they look, sound, and feel low budget.

And that's all about to change...
