Cowabunga: How I Learned to Stop Drinking Dairy and Opt for Soy

Sign Up for more information to get involved

Why?

It all started with an idea. What if James Lopez taught a hands on real world Production Pipeline Master Program.

The goal was to provide an educational based production environment for talented  non-professionals who without any previous experience would learn by doing and become experienced in creating a film. Those artists who are ready but just need an opportunity. So by giving them the opportunity combined with the guidance from James they can now answer proudly when asked by a recruiter or producer if they have experience,  "YES I HAVE EXPERIENCE."

We could not be more proud of this class and hope you enjoy the film and let them know your thoughts and give it a like.

The final film is available to view

We hope you can find time to take a look. Please click 'like' and 'subscribe' and leave a comment for the crew. They would love to hear your thoughts.

Director James Lopez

James combined the most important elements of the filmmaking process to accelerate the results while the team was relied on to do their individual part using their own skills that led to learning and getting better. Just like in a real production.


A long format 6 months program that met bi-weekly  and  required a 10-15 hour weekly time commitment. This film represents a program that is  the first of its kind and done 100% remotely with artists from 5 different countries working together as a team and led by James.
