You may have heard the advice that your first film to get made will probably be an indie film. It's one thing to know that, but it's something else to write a film that would make a good indie. First, you need to know what qualifies a movie as an indie film? Then, you need to know how to write one. Then you need to know how to work with the director (if you're not directing it yourself) and the producers.
This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- What is an indie film?
- Budget and scale
- Scripting an indie
- Rewriting an indie
- Live Q&A
Originally from the Detroit area, Nat wrote and performed sketch comedy in Chicago for nearly a decade before deciding to make the plunge into the film world. While pursuing an MFA in screenwriting at Chapman University in Orange, he interned at Amasia Entertainment and has been here ever since. He has worked his way up from Reader to Development Assistant to Story Editor to his current position, Creative Executive. As a screenwriter he’s placed previously in the Austin Film Festival semifinals and the Final Draft Big Break quarterfinals. Since he did his undergrad at University of Michigan, he is an obnoxious Wolverine fan. He also has strong opinions about coney dogs, but that information seems not to matter to anyone outside of Michigan.
