Screenlife 101: Start Making Your Film Now


Screenlife —where the entire story unfolds on the screens of our devices—isn’t just the most modern filmmaking language—it’s also one of the most accessible ways to tell your story today.

  • All the tools you need are already around you: your laptop, your phone, your everyday apps. You don’t have to wait for a big budget, fancy film school education, expensive gear, or a studio greenlight—you can start creating your film right away.
  • Our online course is self-paced, giving you the ability to take its 35+ hours of instruction and exercises when you have time. It's perfect for anyone who is looking to level up their professional and visual storytelling skills without breaking the bank.
  • Consisting of 21 lessons, modeled on a 3-credit college course, Screenlife 101 is designed by Bazelevs -- the filmmakers behind global hits like Unfriended, Searching, and Missing and Profile, which also saw success at such prestigious film festivals as the Berlinale, Sundance, SXSW, and Fantasia.
  • The course will lead you through every step of the process—from development and scriptwriting to directing, production, and post-production—so that by the end, you’ll have created your own screenlife portfolio.
