Do I really need to do this for the whole year?

The Complete Indie Film Producer's System is a 12-month program for two main reasons. First, it’s a comprehensive program that covers everything from strategically developing your film, to getting funding, to making sure you're covered on set, to negotiating a good distribution deal and promoting your finished project. 

We truly aim to make this the year that’ll transform your filmmaking career forever. 

Second, we believe that commitment is a necessary ingredient for success. Filmmaking is a long road. It doesn't happen overnight. Staying consistent and committed, even through the periods of time when it seems like nothing is moving forward, is crucial. Having accountability and community helps you keep that momentum.

To answer your question more directly: No. You can zip through the curriculum and be done in a few weeks, or you can take your time to learn the skills, practices, and habits to produce stragegically, finance confidently, and secure a good distribution deal
