I’m handing over everything you need to run a pro-level film production
Filmmaking is overwhelming.
Let me help with that.
Most short films never make it to the finish line.
You get a great idea and the sparks fly!
The passion, the energy, the rush of creating something new and fantastic.
You get a group of actors together.
Put them in front of a camera and hit record.
But then the unforeseen happens.
Production STOPS because this is MUCH harder than you thought it would be.
You want to finish but you’re spinning your wheels trying to rewrite the script, organize the cast, find crew members, lock in locations and rent equipment all while juggling your day job and everyday life.
And even if you did manage to film everything you needed, you failed to complete the business side of filmmaking so that you have the proper rights to actually premiere your film at festivals!
Where did you go wrong?
When did filmmaking STOP BEING FUN?
The fun ends when your creativity is halted by the real world…
…planning and execution.
And like an animal in black tar, your film sinks. Until it’s completely forgotten.
I get it… making a film from square one is HARD.
If you don’t have the right tools it’s nearly impossible.
Your film will be left:
half written
half shot
or sitting on a hard drive in the back of your room…
COLLECTING DUST!
This is a filmmakers biggest tragedy.
To never get the oppertunity to influence your friends, family and the world.
Don’t let your film die and be buried in the CINEMA CEMETERY!
I’ve been in your shoes before with my short film Lockdown.
Where reshoots, scheduling conflicts, work and life continuously delayed the release date for over two years.
Through the process I’ve created the ELIXER OF LIFE for dying film productions that prevents me from missing my short film deadline ever again.
But before I dive into that, allow me to introduce myself.
Who am I?
My name is Kevin Waczek. I am a professional video editor, technical director and video shooter.
And a filmmaker.
I have worked with many brands and companies shooting and editing their commercials, switching their live events and live streaming across the US.
I have worked for Activision Blizzard King, Sony, Canon Medical, PrAna, The Red Cross, Eastbay etc.
I am the Assistant Director and Assistant Editor on the Netflix feature film, Full Out 2: You Got This! and an Emmy Award Winner for the KPBS interview/discussion television show Theatre Corner.
But how does this relate to you?
Like I said, I am a filmmaker just like you!
I love telling stories. And impacting audiences. But now…
you need a better way
Where your production runs on time and on budget.
Where each department works together in harmony.
Where your locations and crew don’t bail last minute.
Where your actors show up rehearsed and off-script.
Where your cinematographer plans ahead instead of making it up on the spot.
Where your editor knows which takes to use before they make the first cut.
Where everyone enjoys working on your project and can’t wait for the next one.
Where you actually FINISH YOUR FILM and share it with the world!
All of this so you can focus on what is really important. Your art.
