THE 3 WAYS TO LEARN FILMMAKING

(and why 2 of them will DESTROY your dreams)

OPTION #1

FILM SCHOOL

The $100k Money Pit

Film schools love selling you the "Hollywood Dream" for the low, low price of crippling debt. We couldn't afford the fancy $100k schools, so we settled for "cheaper" university programs that STILL cost us $10,000 each!

The brutal truth? 90% of classes were film theory BS that won't help you shoot a single frame. While professors lectured about the "male gaze in French New Wave Cinema", we learned more making crappy films in our dorm rooms.

Result: $20,000 poorer, zero practical skills, and classmates who talk about Kubrick but can't operate a camera.

OPTION #2

DIY

YouTube University

The Endless Rabbit Hole of Confusion

This is the path we took after film school failed us—countless hours watching random YouTube tutorials, making film after film, and learning through painful trial and error.

Here's what they don't tell you.

Every Youtuber teaches something different. One says "shoot in 4K", another says "resolution doesn't matter." You'll spend YEARS figuring out what actually works. Progress was painfully slow, and every tiny improvement felt like we were climbing Mount Everest in flip-flops.

Looking back, we'd rather eat glass than do it this way again.

OPTION #3

48 HOUR FILM

The "Cheat Code" We Wish We Had 10 Years Ago

The only online filmmaking course that walks you through making a complete, cinematic short film from scratch, even if you've never touched a camera.

Here's the crazy part: Our 9-step GLUE SCORE Framework is literally everything we learned from our $10,000 "education" and 10 years of trial-and-error... compressed into ONE weekend.

NO theory BS. NO confusing contradictions. NO wasted years.

Just a proven, repeatable formula that guarantees your films grab attention and keep viewers glued to the screen.

The choice is yours: Wasted years and thousands like we did, or skip the pain and start creating award-winning film THIS WEEKEND.

THE PROBLEM:

Most Beginner Films look like this...

They lack a cinematic touch and fail to keep the audience engaged because they look, sound, and feel low budget.

And that's all about to change...

You can still keep the low budget WITHOUT it looking, sounding, or feeling that way!

The shots below were created in the SAME LOCATION, with the SAME PHONE, with the

SAME ACTORS. 👇

Need Proof...?

Darren Nielson runs a business—but he’s not a filmmaker.

No fancy gear. No film degree.

Just a dude with a brand and a phone, trying to make videos that didn’t feel like a boring PowerPoint with music.

At first? His videos were… let’s just say, rough. Like “mom’s first Facebook Live” rough.

Then he found our course. And suddenly—BAM—his content leveled up.

Not only did his videos look cinematic, they felt like actual stories people cared about.

His audience started watching longer, commenting more, and (plot twist) actually remembering his brand.

The secret? GLUE SCORE.

Scroll down to see the glow-up: from “what is this?” to “holy crap, did he hire a crew??”

BEFORE

AFTER

Darren was able to use resources he already had access to like the lamp and the window to shape the light—creating a a stark contrast from his first video.

Need More Proof...?

Even in Hollywood...

Quentin Tarantino directed a thought-provoking MASTERPIECE that people still talk about to this day even though he had a very small budget, did NOT attend Film School, and did NOT have mind blowing cinematography.

Most beginners think that:

Fortunately... All 3 Of Those Are False And We'll Show You Why!

FILM SCHOOL IS A $100,000 SCAM

(And We Fell For It Hard)

We're Jordan and Tyson, just two idiots who thought spending $20,000 on film school would make us the next Spielberg.

SPOILER ALERT: It didn't.

After months perfecting out "masterpiece" short film using everything we learned... it bombed harder than a Marvel movie without CGI.

That's when we said

"I think we should try something else" and then...

WE TRIED SOMETHING ELSE!

Something insane...

What if we made films with ZERO budget in just one weekend? Over and over again until we cracked the code?

Plot Twist: Our "broke weekend films" started DESTROYING our expensive film school projects.

We went from film school failures to:

✔️Writing and directing award winning short films

✔️Jordan creating a feature film (dropping 2026)

✔️Gaining 100k+ followers using our "backwards" method

✔️Winning Best Writing, Best Acting, Best Editing, and People's Choice at multiple Film Festivals

All on no budget and our 9-step framework we call GLUE SCORE

The same framework that's now helping complete beginners create cinematic masterpieces while film school graduates are still drowning in student debt.

Turns out the film industry's biggest lie isn't about "making it" it's about how you learn to make films in the first place.

WATCH OUR AWARD-WINNING SHORT FILM

(We wrote, shot, and directed this in one weekend on NO BUDGET)

Hands down the best feeling is seeing your film on the big screen and watching the audience become transfixed.

That's exactly what happened when this short film started playing.
Everything was going great—until we hit that scene.

If you didn't just watch it then SPOILER ALERT: a big monster reveals itself...

Suddenly the ENTIRE theater gasps like Thanos just snapped half the air out of the room... and then they all SCREAMED!

After the film ended, the theater was filled with whispers about

our film. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

That was the moment we realized— this is what we live for.

And now we want you to have that moment too.

Because yeah, you could drop $40k and four years on film school...

Or you could use our 9-step GLUE SCORE framework and start making festival-worthy films this weekend. No debt. No guesswork. Just results that make strangers scream (in the good way).

BTW... this short film won

Best Writing, Best Acting, Best Editing, & People's Choice Award

and it literally took us a weekend to make
