About the Instructor:
I'm an independent filmmaker with a passion for helping others share their stories. My film "Paris you got me" has won over 70 international awards and I've been invited as a jury member to numerous film festivals. I've been frequently asked how I've secured festival invitations without relying on an agency. This course is the culmination of that experience, offering a practical roadmap for independent filmmakers. Consider this my way of giving back to the filmmaking community.
