Your First Project starts Here
ONLINE LESSONS
Learn at your own pace with practical lessons in filmmaking, screenwriting, editing, and book writing. Start with the skill you need for the project you’re working on now.
1:1 COACHING
Have an idea you’re trying to develop or a project you’ve already started? In a one-on-one session, we’ll focus on where you’re stuck and identify practical steps to move your project forward.
At The Newbie Film Academy, I help aspiring filmmakers, screenwriters, and authors take the first steps toward completing a creative project. Bring the story you’ve been thinking about, the script you want to write, or the footage you’re ready to edit. We’ll start with where you are and focus on what you can do next.

Myhra Jones
Professional Chef and Nutritionist
Filmmaker, Author, Playwright, and Director
I wrote and staged plays before I made my first film. Through nearly three decades with Wisdom Production, I’ve learned how much goes into bringing a story from the page to the stage or screen. I started The Newbie Film Academy to share what I’ve learned with people who are ready to begin. I’ll walk you through the decisions I had to learn to make myself, from figuring out what belongs in a scene to deciding what to keep in the edit.
