No Film School is the leading online community of filmmakers, video producers, and independent creatives. Our articles, podcasts, and videos have collectively received hundreds of millions of views over the past ten years. However, we have never produced our own courses… until now.
We are hiring a new team member to serve as the Professor of No Film School. This role will focus on producing our first educational courses, as well as building a suite of useful tools and resources for filmmakers.
This Course Producer/Professor will focus on creating lively, compelling, visually enticing video. As such, the ability to be a “preditor” is more important than the ability to give lectures. We are NOT launching your father’s film school.
About us
No Film School is the leading website “by filmmakers, for filmmakers.” We publish the latest news, tutorials, interviews, and videos to help our readers become better filmmakers — “no film school” required. Please see our media kit for more information on the history and growth of the site.
