Exceptional Team , Inspired to Build a Joint Venture! Ali Zulfikar Zahedi a film maker from BANGLADESH

Full Time Filmmaker is not just a filmmaking platform, as I have seen through the web. I will be so much happier if I get a chance to work with my production company too. It’s a powerhouse of creativity, professionalism, and true cinematic vision. Their commitment to quality, innovation, and authentic storytelling sets a world-class standard. Working with them has been incredibly inspiring and impactful.

Their training and guidance helped elevate my filmmaking approach to a more strategic and cinematic level. I genuinely believe we share the same passion and vision for visual storytelling, which is why I am highly interested in building a long-term joint venture collaboration with Full Time Filmmaker.

They don’t just teach filmmaking; they empower filmmakers to grow, create, and lead.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants not only to learn but also to partner, collaborate, and create something meaningful in the film world.
regards
Ali Zulfikar Zahedi

Seem to know their stuff, but not welcoming to women

Years ago, I ordered the FTF full course. I joined the FTF community on Facebook hoping to share tips and look for work. Unfortunately, instead, I found members who spouted misogynistic things like “women aren’t as good as men at filmmaking because they are too busy competing for male attention, so FTF shouldn’t hire any.” When asking support to perhaps remove this or stand up for women, they could do nothing as per Parker’s orders. Instead, Parker himself posted that everyone should police themselves (while deleting comments that didn’t agree with him) ensuring that the community would be neither safe nor welcoming for women.

I could not get a refund, so I have tried many times to go back and watch the courses because I do think there is good information in there. But every time I try I feel a stress knot in my stomach because of that experience with Parker. I wish I hadn’t purchased FTF. I wish I hadn’t joined the Facebook community, but more than that, I wish that they understood what all social media platforms do: that when you let people “police themselves” then the loudest, worst parts of the majority become their face, and failing to stand up for women as filmmakers will never be okay.

Reply from Full Time Filmmaker

Hi Kate, I am sorry to hear about that negative experience back in 2021. We are a very small team trying our best to manage a very large community of people and we appreciate your understanding. We will gladly receive and implement any feedback we can get of how we can make our community more inclusive.

For transparency, here is a direct quote from our reply to you back in June 2021. "We'll get rid of what we see, but at the end of the day, we aren't police officers. We'll always do our best, but you can help us by reporting it!"

In regards to the refund, we are unable to process refunds after the allotted 30 days (as per our refund policy).

Don't think twice! Get it!

Best course you can buy for filmmakers. It will teach you how to shoot and how to build a business. I started a year ago and today I'm running a production company full time!

Best value for money!!

I Recommend This Course To Everyone I Know

Anytime a young videographer asks me for advice on how they can get started (or how they can improve their skills) I always encourage them to invest in their business and buy the Full Time Filmmaker course. This course helped me go from knowing very little to working full time as a videographer/content creator. I landed my first clients using principles I learned in the course and I also improved my skills to help me land bigger opportunities down the road. This course is worth every penny at full price and they are always running promotions so make sure to jump on those. Forever grateful to Parker and the FTF team for sharing this with the filmmaking community.

Videography Myth busted

FTF gave me confidence in myself. Prior to joining FTF, I always used to believe that videography is not for me since it requires expensive gears. FTF course proved it wrong. Its how you use it matters more than what gear you have.

Better than my Degree in Film

I have only just recently purchased the Full Time Filmmaker courses along with Course Creator Pro, but have been following the team on social media and youtube for years. Every time Stockton or Parker popped up in my feed I watched the video all they way through (even if I'd already seen it), DM'ed the key words to get all the freebies, and debated actually buying the courses. When I finally did pull the string, I immediately knew it was worth it. I'm a recent college graduate with a BFA in Film and I have no doubt this course is of higher quality than my studies were. The team here actually cares about you as a person and will make sure your needs are met and will check in to see how you're doing. They aren't just in it to sell their product and leave you to fend for yourself. The community they have built is also spectacular, having access to the Facebook chat and communicating, networking, and feeding off of others who are in the same position as you or have been where you are, provides a comfort level for anyone. If you're on the fence about purchasing it, make the jump. You will not regret it.

Every single on these videos is clear…

Every single on these videos is clear instructions on how to improve your filmaking game. I am new and thought i would be overwhelmed but parker makes it very clear. I heavily enjoyed this course and would recommend everyone to try it out. Its a great investment and parker practices what he preach.

This Platform is a Steal

For the discounted price of $27 I got to get insight from experienced film and production subject matter experts that my friends who spent thousands on the film schools in Hollywood had to pay for. This platform is a steal.
