Will

Write, produce, direct a feature film...profitably
Greetings!

Raindance is pleased to present Elliot Grove's LO-TO-NO BUDGET FILMMAKING weekend in London Saturday/Sunday 27/28 October. This is the crash course where Guy Ritchie met Mathew Vaughn, and the course that has come to form the basis of independent film production in the UK and Europe.

We also have a special SPECIAL OFFER for email update subscribers who book this course - book, attend, and recieve a FREE copy of Elliot's book: Raindance Producer's Lab.

Elliot
What do Chris Nolan, Mathew Vaughn and Guy Ritchie have in common? All are former students of Elliot Grove's LO-TO- NO BUDGET FILMMAKING class and have gone on to write, produce and direct critically and commercially acclaimed films.

Why waste four years and thousands at a pretentious film school when Elliot delivers clear and concise information that you can use to write, produce, direct and distribute your first feature film, within budgets of £1,000 - £100,000 - £1,000,000. And in just 2 days.

For over 15 years, Elliot has run the
Raindance Film Festival, and worked with writers, directors and producers that are now the leading lights in the British independent film movement.

Few people know more independent filmmakers, have consulted on more low budget shorts and features, or shot more low budget footage than Elliot Grove. Let him show you how careers are launched, and how to launch your career in one weekend.

He has taught at leading universities in France, Denmark, Japan, Sweden and Canada, and unlike most other film instructors, writes and produces feature films himself, with three produced features, and four more currently in pre- production.

His students have gone on to shoot films that together have grossed more than $100,000,000 at the box office.

In 1998, Elliot founded the British Independent Film Awards, which have quickly become the most important independent film awards in the UK.

More than 5,000 students have taken Elliot's class. He's been featured and reviewed in every major film magazine and newspaper around the world, and his former students are a Who's Who of the UK film world.

From your initial idea to final film, in just two days taking Elliot Grove's
LO-TO-NO BUDGET FILMMAKING seminar, you will immediately learn and understand how to shoot, produce, direct, finance, market and distribute your film successfully and efficiently.
