Learn Horror Film Production

What if there were a film school exclusively for horror movies?

The Horror Film Boot Camp is coming September 10-12 to Los Angeles, California. It's the world's only filmmaker's training program dedicated exclusively to horror films and taught in one weekend, taught by experienced, working filmmakers.

Are you serious about wanting to write, direct or produce a horror film – but having trouble putting your project together and worried about wasting time and money?

Do you feel close to getting a horror film project going but you're held back by gaps in your knowledge, skills and connections?

Are you having trouble convincing people to invest in your film idea or to believe in your ability as a filmmaker because you don’t have enough real world experience?

Are you ready to take yourself to the next level and feel confident enough to take the ideas in your head and turn them into a finished, salable horror movie?

If you are not seriously interested in making a horror film (or at least a cross genre film that combines elements of horror with science fiction, fantasy or suspense) - stop reading right now. The course we are offering is not for you.

In one intense weekend, you will be completely focused on learning the process of conceiving, writing, producing, directing and selling a movie for today’s horror market. You'll learn from instructors who are working professionals; people who have done it at all budget levels -- from no budget to some of the top grossing studio franchises ever. You'll meet new friends, colleagues and collaborators. And you'll come home energized, prepared and ready to work.
