"I
experienced magic when I was lucky enough to attend the Action/Cut
Filmmaking Seminar. Guy Magar was inspiring, informative,
and overflowing with a love for all aspects of filmmaking.
It’s for all people interested in the industry including
directors, writers, producers and actors. The information
Guy possesses is astounding and based on real world experience,
with Guy being one of the few industry director/writer/producers
who is working in both features and TV. The course covers
all areas from preparation, storytelling, acting craft, budgets
and real actual scene studies. This course is a must!" Diane Burns

"The
live seminar, without question, has been the most informative
2 days of my life...and I absolutely had to have the DVD set
for reference on future projects. I know this is an investment
that will pay for itself many times over. If I only knew before
shooting my feature what I know now...I would have not only
saved thousands of dollars, but would have saved myself hours
of absolutely unneeded stress." Mark Grant - Writer/Producer
