Filmmaker's Essential Business Contracts Bundle

100+ Reviews

WHAT IS THIS COURSE FOR:

At Muse, our goal is to help give filmmakers the tools they need to tell world-changing stories, because, dammit, we need more of them. We built this bundle to give you some essential documents that will help move your business ahead with minimum input, so you can focus on why you became a filmmaker in the first place.

These documents have taken us over a decade (and many costly mistakes) to perfect, so make sure you leverage them as much as possible to benefit from our years of learning.

We've been creating films for over a decade, so my friends, we understand the challenges.
