Sixty Second Film In Seven Days
What is it that separates the filmmakers that actually get the opportunities, the ones that get picked, the ones that move on from the many that don't?
It's the fact that they've developed a skill set to produce very high quality film projects that don't cost much or take too long to finish, but tell really powerful stories.
We will break down those exact skill sets to you in this free 7-Day CineRacing™ Challenge.
Seven days to get the filmmaking skills you need for a lifetime. Oh, and by the way — you also have a chance to win over $9,000 in prizes and bonuses!
