Our courses are for filmmakers, producers, entrepreneurs, and really anyone seeking to learn more about fundraising, investor relations, business plans, deal ethics, music and more! Individuals considering film investments have enjoyed the course as well.

The Indie Film Financing class is organized into 4 sections. For the Flex version, you can go through the sections at your own pace. For the Group version, you will meet on Zoom once a week for 4 weeks to review each section. That means you have one week to get through each section (roughly an hour of video lessons, plus optional workbook exercises).

The Film Music Master Class is organized into 9 videos, each with additional content such as links and downloads. All videos are live at all times. We suggest watching the videos in order, but you may work at your own pace.

All versions of the Indie Film Financing course include 4 hours of on-demand video lessons, loads of downloadable documents and templates, and access to our Slack channel to ask questions and connect with other filmmakers in the LunacyU community. The Group version includes four weekly 1-hour group coaching sessions via Zoom with Stu Pollard.

The Film Music Master Class includes roughly 80 minutes of on-demand video lessons, as well as useful supplemental content such as links to useful articles and downloadable documents.

No, this is not a live class. It consists of video modules that you can watch at your own pace. The Group version of Indie Film Financing includes live group coaching sessions.

You’ll have access to the course content (videos and downloads) to consume at your own pace. The group-coaching sessions for the Indie Film Financing Group version occurs in 4-week blocks. You can find the start date for the next class on the home page of the website.

If you do not finish a section before the Zoom meeting, you may be behind.
