Throughout the six episodes (all of which you can watch online here), Kavutskiy takes viewers through a meta-comedy sardonically dressed as a self help guide for filmmakers that explains filmmaking insights like: when to say “action” and “cut”, “what is editing” and how to shoot a film using the backup cam on his dad’s car.
