❤️ Free online trainings to screenwriters & filmmakers: [ Ссылка ]
Any indie filmmaker interested in directing AND acting at the same time in their film, is likely to find a naysayer or two, or a hundred. In this video I share my 3 top recommendations to acting and directing in your movie.

From Taika Waititi in "Jojo Rabbit" to Charlie Chaplin in "The Great Dictator" and well, everything he did, clearly the secret to a successful career as actor-director is playing a tyrant with a funny mustache (yes I'm kidding!) If you have any questions, please ask in the comments and I'll reply here or in future videos.

🏆 EXTRA CREDIT if you share with me names of WOMEN who act and direct. I'm looking for role models and something tells me that we gals get an extra dose of naysaying on this front.

Oh, and if you find the camera auto-focus in this video super annoying, join the club. #learningfrommistakes

WHY THE INDEPENDENT FILM SCHOOL IS YOUR NEW LOVE

We build confidence in screenwriters, actors, and filmmakers, at all levels of experience. We do this through skill building, community building, encouragement, and hearty challenges.

How did we end up with nearly 50,000 members? Here's how:

💀 No dry, boring gear talk. No pursuits of riches and fame. No bro marketing (or bro anything), though we do love our brothers and welcome you here. No celeb name dropping that leaves people feeling small and thinking someone else out there is cooler than you. They're not.

💔 If you have stories to share that you'd like to see on the screen, and you're excited to do the work, or willing to do the work, or been burned out but will consider dusting your knees and trying again: we're here for you.
