What You Will Learn?
- Hi there, I’m Parv Jarecki, an Australian filmmaker..
- A few years ago I took off with two of my mates for a road trip across the USA. We weren’t accomplished filmmakers. Until that point I was mainly getting paid to edit short, uninspiring videos for different advertising companies..
- When we left for our trip we had a cheap camera, some basic equipment, a $700 Toyota Camry, and very little money..
- We filmed our journey across the country, making a 6-part documentary series which we called ‘Unplanned America.’.
- We then managed to sell our show to Netflix, SBS Viceland, Amazon Prime, Canal Plus, and a bunch of other broadcasters all around the world..
- This course will take you through our entire process, step-by-step, so you can understand how to make your own documentary film or series and sell it to broadcasters. This covers pre-production, production, post-production, selling, as well as the other bits-and-pieces that broadcasters might require from you after you make the sale. I also cover some psychological aspects of undertaking your dream project..
- This course is going to demystify the process for you. If you're ready to take your filmmaking dreams to the next level, then this is the course for YOU!.
- Who Am I?.
- I'm an Australian documentary filmmaker who stepped up my career by making my own documentary series with two friends and selling it to Netflix. Since then I've worked as a Producer & Director for the likes of Netflix, SBS, Viceland, MTV and more..
- I'm now starting to create educational & motivational content to help enable others to make their dream projects come to life..
