- Who is this course for?
- People who want to finish a short film, not collect clips. You can be a creator, a marketer, or someone who has never stood on a set. You still direct.
- Do I need my own camera?
- No. You need the tool accounts we name in class. Those subscriptions are yours. They are not included in the fee.
- What do I leave with?
- A piece you would post with your name on it, plus the recordings of the live hours and a certificate of completion.
- Is this the same as a one-tool lab?
- No. A lab is one tool. This course is the film: idea, pictures, motion, and a cut you can stand behind.
- Do you guarantee a job after a cohort?
- No. We publish dates, prices, refund terms and consented stories. Placement and income claims are not part of this academy.
- What time zone are live sessions in?
- Source zone is America/Toronto unless a cohort says otherwise. Session times always name that zone. Convert in your own calendar from the ICS on the cohort card.
- Can I join a waitlist if a cohort is full?
- Yes. Waitlist captures name, email and optional phone. It does not take payment. Seats that free up are offered in join order.
- How does early-bird pricing work?
- If a cohort has an early-bird price and the cut-off has not passed (server date at payment), checkout charges the early-bird amount. The cart may still show list price until quote.
- What is the refund window?
- Full refund before the published cut-off relative to the cohort start; after that the published bands on the Refund page apply. Checkout requires you to accept that policy.
