Los Angeles, CA (December
3, 2008) -- Independent filmmaker
and founder of FilmMakingCentral.com, David Basulto, announced today the launch
of his new online film school, FilmSchoolOnDemand (www.filmschoolondemand.com). With the launch of
this innovative and comprehensive online curriculum, Basulto is fulfilling a
life-long passion for sharing his talent and expertise by creating an
inexpensive forum for new filmmakers to learn the most current technologies and
techniques for not only creating new films, but also for successfully marketing
and selling films in today’s highly competitive market.
FilmSchoolOnDemand will cover
nearly 30 topics addressing the requirements of filmmakers today, including
script writing, story boarding, pre-production, production and post production
techniques, financing and budgeting, and deliver and distribution.
As part of the launch of
FilmSchoolOnDemand, Basulto is extending significant discounts to those
interested in becoming Charter Members.
Upon FilmShoolOnDemand’s formal launch in February 2009, the price of
Course 1: Making AND Selling Your First Movie will be $297. Charter Members signing up in advance
of the launch will save $100 off the price of tuition. Visit www.filmschoolondemand.com for

“Making movies has always been
a dream of mine, and I’ve been fortunate throughout my career to have had the
opportunity to work with, and learn from some of the finest talent in the
industry. FilmSchoolOnDemand
represents my chance to give back to aspiring new filmmakers all that I’ve
learned and hopefully ignite the passions of tomorrow’s Hollywood filmmakers,”
said Dave Basulto, founder of FilmSchoolOnDemand.
In addition to providing
in-depth classes, FilmSchoolOnDemand also provides students a community area
where students can blog, participate in chats and forums, and extend the
learning environment in a more social-media oriented approach. To assist new filmmakers and students
on materials covered in the classes, Basulto will also host weekly live
streaming sessions where students can participate, ask questions and share
ideas.
Future courses in the works
include a screenwriting class with an Academy Award nominated writer, a movie
marketing and distribution master class, and a class designed for those
interested in getting into the art department.
