Mark Stolaroff

Producer/Instructor

I am a producer and the Founder of No Budget Film School. I have been in the independent film world for over 25 years. I was formerly a principal at Next Wave Films, a company of the Independent Film Channel that gave finishing funds to exceptional low budget features, including the first films of Chris Nolan, Joe Carnahan and Amir Bar Lev. My feature producing credits include "Manic" (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel); "Some Body" (Sundance 2001); "Pig" (released by Kino Lorber); "The House That Jack Built" (released by Vega Baby); "DriverX" (released by IFC Films) and many others. In 2005 I founded No Budget Film School, a unique series of classes specifically designed for the no-budget filmmaker.
