Are you ready to make your award-winning independent feature film for under $500K?

Making your independent feature film is one of the greatest and most fulfilling creative challenges in the world. While the finished product may come across like an effortless, moving piece of art, the truth is countless elements of the filmmaking process need to go right in order for a film to be a success. You may have a great director, great actors, and a great script, but the bottom line is that you need all the pieces of this puzzle (and more) to fit together to make it to the finish line and give your film a chance to win some awards that can propel your career forward.

There are so many important questions that you need to answer. What are the key elements to making an award-winning film? How do you go about assembling the right team? How do you raise money for an independent film? How can you cast the best actors in each role? And something most novice filmmakers overlook - how do you secure distribution before you start filming? 

In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar you'll learn from award winning filmmakers Scott and Laura Pryor who will share their journey and lessons learned with you to help you make your award winning independent feature film. Scott and Laura have made multiple award-winning films for $500k or less, including "The List” (2015), “Blackbear” (2019), and “Tulsa” (2020). Scott and Laura will teach you everything you need to know to best approach your filmmaking process to create a great low budget feature film that can resonate with audiences and voters at festivals and markets. 

One key element that separates an award-winning film from the rest is the ability to create massive synergy in executing the right vision with the right t in place. Proper execution requires building the right team in the right positions, having a strong pre-production, and knowing your outcomes before your very first shoot day. Many filmmakers fall into the trap of thinking that because they have a couple of the key factors in place such as financing or a great script, they will be successful. This is simply not the case. It takes the entire team and machine to be in sync and that starts with leadership from the top. 

If you're ready to make your award-winning feature film for under $500K, this webinar is a must.

Praise For Scott & Laura Pryor

“Not only has Pryor Entertainment created multiple award-winning films, but films that sell, more than titles with 10 times the budget.” - John K. 

“It has been so fulfilling creatively working with Scott & Laura Pryor during the past 6 months. Not only are they innovative in the execution of their film projects but they come to the table with so many original ideas. They have the ability to grasp the intellectual sides of talent and character development in tandem with bright and astute teams to execute the work. They are a powerhouse duo who work wonderfully together.” - Shave S.

“Scott Pryor is one of the most intense creatives I’ve had the pleasure of working with. The fact that he’s a Marine only speaks to his detail orientation and commitment to excellence. His visual skillset helps him to be a better storyteller, and his accomplished athleticism only compliments his already ridiculous work ethic.” - Mama Jan Smith, Music Producer, Owner, Jan Smith Studios

“On the music front, I’m impressed by Scott’s willingness to be vulnerable in the writing process. The physical investment of time and talent is one thing as a singer, but Scott’s dedication to only producing the best possible work is something rare about him as an artist. He has endless amounts of effort to put forth to the cause. Scott & Laura have a top-notch team surrounding them at Jan Smith Studios for this new record. I am loving the creative challenges of working with them!”
