Greetings!

Start the year with a bang and get your filmmaking dreams off the ground. FAST!

Learning about filmmaking need not be difficult or expensive. I've designed our training programme to deliver the most amount of information in the least amount of time at the best possible price.

Last year 5,032 people attended Raindance courses in London. Edgar Wright was my first intern and Christopher Nolan took some of our classes. Most current Britsih filmmakers have touched Raindance.

You can learn how to make movies at Raindance. We have a production company, Raw Talent, where we make films. And your films can be shown at the Raindance Film Festival and even be nominated for our British Independent Film Awards.

So what are you waiting for? Get off your hands, stop making excuses and learn how to write, direct, and produce movies.

Yours in filmmaking (and screenwriting!)
