Dear friends, I’ve been working on this for a while now.
Not to be all “here’s my online course, buy it now”—but… here’s my online course.
I’ve been making short films for a long time—40+ of them at this point. And not in some giant-budget, film-school kind of way (though, yes, I DID go to film school). Just figuring it out, making mistakes, and learning as I go.
Over the years, I’ve had a lot of friends ask me: ❓ Where do I start when making a short film? ❓ What gear do I need? ❓ How do I find actors? ❓ What if it turns out bad?
So I finally put together something I wish I had when I was starting out: 🎬 Stop Talking, Start Doing: Make Your Short Film a Reality
This isn’t some “follow these 3 simple steps to success” kind of thing. Just practical, real-world guidance from someone who’s made a lot of films.
And because it’s launch month, I’m offering 50% OFF for a limited time → ➡ Click here to check it out: josh-s-site-5c38.thinkific.com/courses/shortfilm
If you’ve ever wanted to make a short film—or know someone who does—check it out. And If not, that’s fine, too. 🥲
This course would not have been possible without the incredible support of: Jacob Tanenbaum, Yifen Low, Jason Nott, Chelsea Jenkins, Saris Ahmed, and David Elmaleh.
Still talking about making your short film? Now’s the time to finally make it happen.
JOSH LITMAN, the award-winning filmmaker behind 40+ shorts and founder of ACTION POTENTIAL PRODUCTIONS, offers real-world guidance, behind-the-scenes insights, and practical steps to plan, shoot, and release your film.
🎬 Check out the official trailer for F MINOR, a twisted dark comedy about a struggling musician plagued by insecurity when he discovers he was never a target of his music teacher's predatory behavior.
Dear Subscribers: Don't miss the premiere of THE SOUND OF A PAINTING today at 5pm PST / 8pm EST! Let us know what you thought of that twist ending... ;)
Watch. Like. Share. Let's get to 100,000 subscribers!
Great news! “The Priest, the Whore, and the Man at the Door” just surpassed 50,000 views! 🔥
This was a very personal film for me as it deals with difficult themes and subject matter from my own life. From the heartfelt comments online to its reception at festivals, it seems a lot of viewers really connected with it as well. ❤️
Notably, this movie contains the last on-screen performance by the late, great Eugene Lazarev, a distinction that has meant so much to me and everyone involved.
Cheers and thank you once again to my entire cast and crew for making this ambitious project a reality. 🥂
