Raindance presents The 2 Day Film School Making Independent Films - Profitably Saturday/Sunday 5/6 July

Greetings! I'm Dov S-S Simens, founder of the Hollywood Film Institute & America's leading film instructor. I might sound a little presumptuous, but I state that from the fact that in the past decade I am credited with launching over 3,500 film careers (Baz Luhrman, Queen Latifah, Will Smith, Damon Wayans, Quentin Tarantino, etc) with feature films that have grossed over $7,000,000,000 (Yes - Billion) at the box office. Whether you want to be a Writer, Producer, Director, Actor or Filmmaker I have condensed my 15 years of Line Producing, Script Developing, Sales & Financing experiences into an intensive weekend crash course that I promise will dispense more how-to filmmaking practical information than if you attended one of those 2-4 year theory laden film schools. Here's how! I don't talk about film theory. I don't teach talent - I can't. But what I do teach is the hard core nuts-and-bolts of making your first independent feature film on budgets from $10,000 to $1,000,000 that will profit (key word profit) from the Theatrical, DVD, On-Demand, Cable, TV & Foreign markets. You bring your talent. I'll give you the knowledge. I am proudly returning to Raindance on Saturday/Sunday 5/6 July Cost of the course is £245.00 + VAT. Call 0207 287 3833 or Book Online Here

ABOUT ME, DOV S-S SIMENS I never went to an expensive film school. I graduated from Muhlenberg College (Allentown, PA, 1965, BA-Economics) and spent 3 years in the army (1st Lieutenant, Special Forces, '66 - '69). After Viet Nam, I owned a successful bookstore in Carmel, California. In 1980, I sold the store, took the cash and went to Hollywood with an idea and a dream. I chased the deal, called agents, met studio heads, pitched development execs, hustled bankable stars and foreign buyers. I optioned books, true life stories and wrote scripts. Finally, I put my money where my mouth is, wrote bank checks and made a 90 - minute 35mm feature film that won festival awards. Have a look at my website: it even looks like a bookstore! My website...

THE HOLLYWOOD FILM INSTITUTE I started teaching filmmaking in 1984 at UCLA, then USC, then NYU (the top 3 film schools in North America) and it was at NYU in 1989 that a NYU film student told me: "Dov - you can teach more about filmmaking in 2-Days than I learned in film school." Thus, The Hollywood Film Institute was born. The foundation of the school is the 2-Day Film School™ which dispenses all the info needed to launch a successful & profitable filmmaking careers in one weekend. On Day-1 (Saturday) the course teaches how to Produce, Budget, Schedule, Direct, Shoot & Edit your first feature film. Day-2 (Sunday) has the course focused on Marketing, Financing, Dealmaking, Distributing & Selling that feature film for a profit. Day-1 "Make It". Day-2 "Sell-It".

SUCCESS FROM 2-DAY FILM SCHOOL The success ratio of the my course is superb. It is estimated at 3%. Taken out of context having only 3% of my students Produce or Direct a feature film could seem very low. In context: if you take all the 4-year ($150,000-$250,000 tuition) film school graduates in North America over the past 5 years I do not believe that a single one of them has made a feature film that has been distributed in USA/Canada with at least 30 prints. Take 3% of my 4,000 students/year and I have about 120 Feature Films accredited to my intensive 2-DAY FILM SCHOOL™ per annum. This is truly amazing and I look forward to seeing you in London (July 5/6) in hopes that you become one of the 120 debut feature filmmakers who take my class in 2008.
