Michelle A. Daniel, known to her online community as @showrunher, has just opened registration for a series of hands-on film-making masterclasses—all priced at $47 per live session. With only ten seats available in each, these intimate workshops offer emerging filmmakers direct access to expert guidance on topics ranging from budgeting to festival strategy.
A Class For Every Stage Of Production
Daniel’s course lineup reads like a production roadmap. Participants can choose from sessions such as Film Budgets 101: Breaking Down the Real Costs, Pitch Decks That Sell: Design, Structure & Purpose, and Production Planning: How to Prep Like a Pro. Further classes focus on leveraging IMDb Pro to polish an industry footprint, navigating fiscal sponsors and film grants, securing product placement and brand sponsorships, and crafting crowdfunding campaigns that actually convert.
That’s not all. She’ll also cover pitching to film investors, decoding what sales agents and film buyers look for, and building a strategy around film festival submissions—complete with tips on creating standout assets that catch programmers’ eyes.
Expert-led, Interactive Format
Each session is hosted live and includes dedicated Q&A time, ensuring attendees can ask pointed questions about their own projects. For those unable to attend in real time, Daniel provides replays so nobody misses out. Her teaching style blends clear, no-jargon explanations with real-world examples from her coaching work, making complex processes feel accessible.
“Even seasoned filmmakers struggle with budgeting and funding,” she says, “so I designed these workshops to demystify each step and give actionable tools.”
Building On The 21-day Film Challenge
This latest offering expands on Daniel’s popular 21-Day Film Challenge, which she recently made available as a self-paced program for $97 worldwide. That package includes 21 on-demand classes, templates, and tools, plus 60 days of unlimited access—an option for creatives who need more flexibility than live sessions provide. Instagram users can still type “replay” in her DMs to get the program link.
An earlier Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ6tczKRm0b/) announced the self-paced Challenge: “Learn how to fund, pitch & produce your film,” read the caption, highlighting its step-by-step structure and payment plans through Klarna.
Why Daniel’s Workshops Matter
In an era where DIY and micro-budget filmmaking are on the rise, clarity around financial and promotional mechanics is key. Many indie filmmakers leave money on the table by miscalculating costs or pitching improperly. Daniel’s sessions tackle those pain points directly:
• Real-world budgeting scenarios that reveal hidden expenses.
• Pitch-deck frameworks that speak to different gatekeepers—from investors to broadcasters.
• Grant and sponsorship strategies that uncover free or low-cost funding.
Attendees walk away with templates—for budgets, pitch decks, and grant applications—so they can implement lessons immediately.
How To Secure Your Seat
To register, Instagram followers simply type “LEARN” in Daniel’s post comments or DMs and choose their preferred date. Each session’s small group setting fosters collaboration, feedback, and networking among peers. Once ten seats are filled, registration closes, reinforcing the personalized nature of the workshops.
Daniel’s calendar fills quickly: in a follow-up post, she reminded fans that “first come, first served” applies to all topics, whether it’s Sales Agents & Film Buyers or Product Placement & Brand Sponsorship for Filmmakers.
Aspiring producers, directors, and writers now have an affordable, expert-led way to level up their film hustle. With budget constraints biting and competition for grants intensifying, those $47 sessions could make all the difference in turning ideas into screenable projects.
Michelle A. Daniel’s hands-on approach demystifies complex topics—equipping emerging filmmakers with the right tools to budget smarter, pitch stronger, and find the funding they need.
