The Aspiring Filmmaker's Boot Camp was established to give everyone access to the entertainment industry, while educating them about the truth, realities and specifics of making a film. These are the things they don't teach you in film school. Our goal is to have every participant leave with a working knowledge of how to break into the entertainment industry. The final day of the weekend will include a question and answer pitch session geared towards finding undiscovered talent. By signing up you will have direct access to industry professionals who have worked on projects that have won Oscars, Golden Globes and major film festival awards. Check out

"...When I signed up I expected a great learning weekend. Little did I dream when I pitched my project to Larry Meistrich that he would actually cut a deal to produce it. I mean, here's a major producer, with over 50 features and every award imaginable - and he wants to produce my idea!"
