advent film group

This year’s focus will be on MICRO BUDGET Films that anyone can make. We’ll teach you how to write, produce, finance, direct, and distribute very low budget feature-length movies that can make an impact despite its extremely low budget.

We’ve done it with our latest film, WRITERS’ BLOCK, and now you too can learn how its done.

Our 2-day workshop is ideal for students and parents who are considering film as a vocational pursuit. You’ll learn the advantages and disadvantages of film school programs. You’ll know the elements of making and distributing movies from start to finish.

This workshop is also designed for adults (with film experience or not) who want to switch careers or bolster their media career or ministry toward feature filmmaking.

Join us and get a preview of Advent’s upcoming feature film projects and how best to get involved.
