Lydia Singh

"I always felt like a ‘wannabe’ filmmaker. Finishing my script made me feel legit for the first time. I've completed more than 20 scripts since joining and have actually turned some of them into films."

Alan Lee

"The feedback I received on my script was worth the price of the course by itself! I'm able to turn my scripts into short films by myself instead of having a whole film crew and everything!"

Mohammed Kumar

"Before this, I couldn’t finish anything. I’d always quit halfway through writing because I never felt confident in my ideas. In 7 days I finished my first complete script and for the first time, it actually felt like a real movie!”

Here's what you get:

"I could write a script in less than an hour right now as a result of the Filmmaker's Apprentice! Thank you Tyson and Jordan for helping the many filmmakers out there like me!"

Alan Lee

The feedback I received on my film was worth the price of the course by itself! I'm able to make my short films by myself instead of having a whole film crew and everything!"

Hunter Sherrow

I thought it was impossible to make a short film on my phone and make it still look good, but this course helped me do it, and it turned out amazing! Thank you Tyson and Jordan!"

Let’s Be Real for a Second…

Making Movies is EXTREMELY HARD...

Takes Foreverrrr

Brainstorming, writing, planning, filming, editing... most short films take months to finish! The slowest part? Figuring out how to do it all by yourself.

It Ain't Cheap!

Film school can cost $100,000+ and that’s before you buy the camera, lights, audio gear, editing software, and everything else they expect you to figure out on your own.

No Cast. No Crew. No Clue?

It’s hard to shoot anything when your “cast” is your dog and your “crew” is just your reflection. Most give up right here.

What our Students are Saying..

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t have expensive gear?

Not at all. Many great short films are made using simple cameras or even smartphones.

Inside 48 Hour Film, you’ll learn how to capture cinematic shots, light scenes effectively, and record clean audio without needing expensive equipment or a big production budget.

The focus of the program is helping you use the gear you already have to tell a compelling story.

At the end of the day, audiences care far more about story and execution than the price of your camera.

What if I don’t have a big cast or crew?

Most first-time filmmakers don’t have access to a large cast or production team.

Inside 48 Hour Film, you’ll learn how to design and shoot your film with a very small crew, sometimes even just you and a few friends.

We’ll show you how to simplify scenes, direct non-actors, and structure your production so it’s manageable without a large team.

Many successful short films are made with just a handful of people behind the camera.

The goal of this course is to help you work with the resources you have so you can actually finish your film instead of waiting for the “perfect” crew.

What if I don’t have a lot of time?

That’s exactly why the program is structured around a 2 day production timeline.

Instead of dragging a project out for months, you’ll follow a clear system that helps you plan, shoot, and finish your film efficiently.

Most students complete their film in a few focused sessions over the course of one or two weeks.

The goal isn’t to overwhelm you, it’s to help you finish something real as quickly as possible.

What if I’ve never directed actors before?

That’s completely normal. Inside the course, you’ll learn simple techniques for blocking scenes, communicating clearly with actors, and guiding performances so your scenes feel natural and believable, even if you’re working with friends or non-professional actors.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s giving you the confidence to lead your first production.

Can’t I just learn this on YouTube?

You absolutely can learn filmmaking on YouTube. In fact, many filmmakers start there.

The challenge is that YouTube teaches isolated tips, not a clear process. You might find videos about lighting, directing actors, editing, or film festivals — but they’re rarely connected into a step-by-step system that takes you from script to finished film.

That’s exactly what 48 Hour Film is designed to solve.

Instead of spending months jumping between tutorials and trying to piece everything together yourself, you’ll follow a structured roadmap that walks you through every stage of making your film... from planning your shoot to editing your final cut and submitting it to festivals.

The goal isn’t just to learn filmmaking.

It’s to finish your film.

Is $149 really worth it?

That depends on how much finishing your first film is worth to you.

Most aspiring filmmakers spend months or even years trying to figure out production, directing, lighting, editing, and festivals on their own.

Inside 48 Hour Film, you get a clear step-by-step system that shows you exactly how to turn your script into a finished short film in as little as 2 days.

If that helps you finally move from wanting to make films to actually finishing one, most students find it’s easily worth the investment.

And to remove the risk entirely, you’re covered by our 30-day guarantee. If you don’t feel clearer and more confident as a director, just let us know and we’ll refund you.
