nofilmschool is a site for independent creatives and multi-hyphenates. If you’re a filmmaker, writer, editor, producer, cinematographer, blogger, designer, or entrepreneur — or more than one of these (e.g., a writer-producer-editor — thus the term “multi-hyphenate”) — I hope you’ll find the site interesting.
I’ll have some more info about the background and goals of the site soon; this page wasn’t ready at launch so I pulled a Google and soft-launched.
