Friendly Filmmaker
FILMMAKER & COACH CREATING COMMUNITY TO HELP INDEPENDENT CREATORS MAKE MOVIES REEL GOOD!
Who is friendly filmmaker?
New to filmmaking? Overwhelmed by where to start?
Our Mission is to show storytellers, new and old, that you don't need a lot of money or fancy film school in order to make your own high-caliber movies.
Julia Tutko-Balena has been working on independent films for 25 years. Even before that, she loved writing, acting, and directing. At last, she decided to collect and share the tips and tricks she’s learned over countless credited and uncredited projects — so that YOU can skip over a mountain of mistakes, and start creating your own art, your own way.
