ACTION/CUT
FILMMAKING SEMINARS Filmmaking from Page to Screen in 2-Days! For last year's Sundance Film Festival, 2012 feature films and 3345 shorts were submitted... "the democratization of filmmaking" stated in Scott Billups' defining book Digital Moviemaking is in full bloom. Now more than ever, anyone can make a film...digital cameras and home editing systems are affordable to everyone. Filmmaking
is visual storytelling...precisely what Action/Cut teaches
filmmakers and screenwriters with its 2-day "Filmmaking
from A-Z" seminar, acclaimed by thousands
of participants and film media reviews worldwide. So before,
or after, you obtain equipment, come learn what to do with
it and acquire the practical knowledge of how to visually
tell your stories so you can engage, entertain, and enchant
your audiences... and create your own film magic. In just 2-days, you will gain first-hand career knowledge from a working pro director/writer/producer with an audio-visual workshop covering the skills, tools, and industry trade secrets to take any project from the script page through the entire filmmaking process to final film. This is the most media/press/participants acclaimed filmmaking seminar in the industry. No other seminar is designed to provide you with first-hand knowledge of actual scripted scenes and shot lists in your hands with film clip examples for quick learning...and offered to you as an affordable live seminar in major USA cities.

"I experienced magic when I was lucky enough to attend the Action/Cut Filmmaking Seminar. Guy Magar was inspiring, informative, and overflowing with a love for all aspects of filmmaking. It’s for all people interested in the industry including directors, writers, producers and actors. The information Guy possesses is astounding and based on real world experience, with Guy being one of the few industry director/writer/producers who is working in both features and TV. The course covers all areas from preparation, storytelling, acting craft, budgets and actual scene studies of benefits to graduates. Be open to learn and be inspired, and you could find your life changing, just as I have. This course is a must!" Diane Burns - Writer (Australia) |

 THE
REAL DEALLearn the “filmmaking process” the only proven, practical way: visualizing actual scripted scenes step-by-step with location diagrams, planning how to shoot them with shot lists, viewing the actual dailies shot-by-shot, and then screening the finished scenes complete with sound mix, visual effects, and music scores as they were finalized - filmmaking from page to screen! |
|
“Forget
coaches, consultants, theories...Action/Cut is the 'real deal'
in professional directing in our industry."
|
|
"When
I attended the Action/Cut Filmmaking Seminar, I was absolutely
terrified with the idea of directing my first film. It took
me one weekend with Guy Magar to find the logic to the filmmaking
process and earn the confidence that would transform me a
year later into an award-winning filmmaker!" Jesus

"Since taking Action/Cut in Chicago, I've become a candidate for the DGA/ABC-TV Directing Fellowship, am being considered for my first DGA gig, and shot and edited my first music video. Guy, I can't thank you enough for providing a map of moviemaking anyone can read and everyone can follow." Leslie Chain, Filmmaker (IL) |

"Happy to recommend your seminar which I took in San Fran, and I also bought the DVD home course. So few directors bring their experiences to the novices hungry for information that can help get their start, or improve their skills. You do! Your class was practical and exciting. Thank you for treating your students seriously in our pursuit of this hyper-competitive world of entertainment." Eric Sullivan, Filmmaker (CA) |
