What Members Are Saying

"Just loved the detail that Shane went into and the fact that it was done with two different budgets in mind, Hollywood and Indie. Shane always has multiple scenarios in mind that can work depending on the budgets. REALLY WELL DONE ALL!"

"I used to watch tutorials at my job, hoping to learn more about lighting and camera. Then I joined Filmmakers Academy and within weeks, I was on set in Santa Barbara with a real crew. This platform turned me from a viewer into a working filmmaker."

"I didn’t go to film school, FA became my film school. I had no resources where I lived, but after taking the Movi courses, I became the go-to AC on set. FA gave me the skills and confidence to stand out."

"The best investment I’ve made in 8 years of filmmaking. I’ve done other programs but nothing compares. This isn’t just content. It’s mentorship, community, and real set access. I got responses to comments in minutes, and met people who now work with me on jobs."
