Filmmakers Academy Reviews 

One of the best Online Film Courses there is...but the coup-de-grace is the personal element. Tutorials and networking sessions with Shane and his highly skilled industry family. After a career as actor/director I was too old to go 'back' to Film School and preferred something I could do in conjunction with 'real world' practice. This is it.

I've studied a lot of on line courses, read books, researched university offerings, etc and nothing comes close to what is offered here at the Filmmakers Academy; real world filmmaking pros are here teaching what you need to know in the trenches, the real work of filmmaking. University programs can not touch what is being offered here, AND you wont accumulate ANY debt either, let alone astronomical university type debt. What Shane and Lydia Halbert have created here, is a disruptive idea of true genius, one that, surprisingly in this world, also comes directly from the heart; they TRULY want more than anything else to see you succeed as the filmmaker you want to be - THIS is the future of filmmaking!

I enjoy all of the insider information this app provides as well as the community building.

I can't ask for a better group! The filmmaking accademy is literally a jump into film industry professionals, with tons of videos, a dedicated and super efficient app, coaching call, shadowing with the best in class to learn everything from A to Z. Yes, I'm happy to be part of these community. Really recommended!

Simply a great platform to learn on.
Great tutorials and expert opinion from career filmmakers.

I love the breadth of content available on the app, both in video and print. One excellent feature is the categories per career type, I.e. editor, camera assistant, producer. To me, this is one of the best educational apps for filmmakers on the market.

I am immensely grateful for the valuable knowledge imparted by FA, which has enabled me to expand my skills and deepen my passion for cinematography. I wholeheartedly endorse it as a resource for anyone who shares a love for this art form. Being located in a country with limited opportunities in the industry, FA has played a pivotal role in nurturing my expertise and nurturing my admiration for this captivating field. My ultimate aspiration would be to undertake an internship in Los Angeles. Many thanks to FA for their outstanding contributions.

I love the information we are receiving from FA. I learn everyday, making my passion for cinematography growing daily. I strongly recommend it to anyone who love cinematography & filmmaking to become a member. I live in a country where the industry is none existent, thanks to FA I get to develop my knowledge & my love for this amazing industry. My dream would be to do an internship in L.A. Thank you FA for everything you do. You guys rock.

The FilmMakers Academy is actually run by Hollywood movie makers so you're getting real world lessons. The instructional videos are excellent, you won't get better with helpful downloads, I personally have found the podcasts very helpful which cover everything from lens choice to mental health to interview techniques. My Career had stalled until I signed up to the FA now it's moving again and I personally feel more empowered with the new knowledge I have gained. Wish something like this was around in the eighties.

FA has created so many wonderful opportunities for me that I wouldn’t have otherwise had. I’m so grateful for the community and the knowledge being shared there.

FA is unique. It's my film school.

I doubt that going to film school would be that much better. I think they are doing a really great job. I never had the opportunity to go to film school so this is my film school.

Filmmaker Academy is just what I was looking for and SO MUCH MORE! You not only have fantastic content, but you have created a massively talented and giving network of filmmakers wanting to help others. I plan to stay a member for LIFE!

An amazing community to learn from the best!! Highly recommended

The course I was waiting to discover. Very useful infirmation, and easy to understand.

Loads of content, access to professionals at all positions who work on Hollywood productions, commercial teams, etc. The community has incredibly talented people involved and people are active.

The community that I have been looking for. The FA provides a club akin to the ASC that is more accessible for filmmakers who are not making multi-million-dollar projects yet!

Just WOW! The team over at Filmmakers Academy has been unbelievably helpful for my cinematography questions. Whenever I have questions, I can quickly get the information I seek. So much beneficial content is available that provides knowledge on every aspect of the industry. Having a subscription to Filmmakers Academy has contributed to my success in networking within the industry, both offline and online. Filmmakers Academy has also contributed to my confidence. When juggling different options, this knowledge allows me to make my decision confidently.

For someone who's been attending different industry events, masterclasses, consuming a lot of content - The Filmmakers Academy really stands out. The production quality, the amount of categories, topics, the level of the mentors and teachers is unlike anything you can find online elsewhere. This is something I've been looking for, for years. Very grateful to have access to such expertise.

These instructors are top of their field and share a wealth of knowledge. The annual membership is worth every penny
