Biography
 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 Vietnam, 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.
I learned to make movies from beginning
to end... not from film school theory but from street
reality. Over the next five years I held jobs as a Production
Manager and Line Producer, and perfected my filmmaking
skills by writing those bank checks time and time again
as I made movie after movie for other companies.
In 1986, I presented a class at UCLA
on "How to Get High Quality with Low-Budgets".
The fee was $325, there were 256 students for a $86,125
gross, and I was paid $125 per day. Duh! USC then asked
me to give a course on their campus. It was successful
and I was paid $2,500. Then two years later NYU offered
me $5,000 plus flight and per diem for the course -
I was now a professional film instructor.
 In
1989, a student said, “Your act is together, why not
take it on the road?" Thus was born my acclaimed
2-Day Film School™. The course is great. I present it
25 times per year and have an instantaneous success
rate of 3%. That is 3 out of 100 students who attend
my weekend course make a feature film within 6 months.
To put 3% in perspective, not a single graduate of the
expensive 4 year film schools have produced or directed
a feature film within 6 months of graduation... thus
making my 3% success rate outrageously high.
During the past 15 years, I have taught
how to produce, write and direct with amazing success
(graduates to date have grossed over $8 Billion) and
have perfected my craft. I am proud of my teaching ability.
I do not present myself as a great producer or the great
director, for I am not! And the great producers and
directors in Hollywood - the Spielbergs and the Coppollas
- you will discover are not great teachers.
But
what I am, is exactly what you want: A great film
instructor who is proud to give you the most amount
of filmmaking information and education for the least
amount of money in the shortest period of time.
I have created the 2-Day Film School
for you - someone who does not want to spend $50,000
to $100,000, and take 2 to 4 years of theory at a pretentious
film school. I give you the facts, information and knowledge
you need to launch your career now. Get into action!
Take one of my 2-Day Film School classes or purchase
the 2-Day Film School on DVD now. Why wait?
