Before You Begin

A note from someone who’s been there

If you’re here, you probably care.
About stories. About images. About what it means to say something honestly in a noisy world.

This course wasn’t designed by experts in a tower.
It grew out of late-night screenings, unfinished scripts, conversations that lingered, and the feeling that something beautiful might still be possible—if we just keep trying.

CinemaSchool isn’t about teaching you everything.
It’s about helping you start.
To notice the way light falls on a wall.
To write the first scene even if it scares you.

There’s no pressure to impress anyone here.
No gold stars. No secret formula.
Just space.
