How We Made Our Documentary Series & Sold it to Netflix
A Step-By-Step Guide for Filmmakers
Description
Hi there, I’m Parv Jarecki, an Australian filmmaker.
A few years ago I took off with two of my mates for a road trip across the USA. We weren’t accomplished filmmakers. Until that point I was mainly getting paid to edit short, uninspiring videos for different advertising companies.
When we left for our trip we had a cheap camera, some basic equipment, a $700 Toyota Camry, and very little money.
We filmed our journey across the country, making a 6-part documentary series which we called ‘Unplanned America.’
We then managed to sell our show to Netflix, SBS Viceland, Amazon Prime, Canal Plus, and a bunch of other broadcasters all around the world.
This course will take you through our entire process, step-by-step, so you can understand how to make your own documentary film or series and sell it to broadcasters. This covers pre-production, production, post-production, selling, as well as the other bits-and-pieces that broadcasters might require from you after you make the sale. I also cover some psychological aspects of undertaking your dream project.
This course is going to demystify the process for you. If you're ready to take your filmmaking dreams to the next level, then this is the course for YOU!
