LIVE CLASSES & EVENTS
The film industry can feel so exclusive and out of reach. Many of us feel trapped on the other side of the glass, looking in at the industry we long to participate in. That’s why we created our live calendar, with events almost every day—to bring the industry to you, wherever you are. For those of you operating outside of Hollywood: wherever you are in the world, no matter what your day job, you can be an active daily part of the film industry. Our interactive sessions with live teachers and fellow students foster a true sense of community. With live events like group discussions, Q&As, showcases, watch parties, and even craft nights, you’ll feel like a connected (and valuable) part of the film world every day. The more you know, the more you can accomplish, so let’s invest in your abilities!
This is a safe, inclusive, welcoming community.
Authenticity Suits You.
Tired of not feeling welcome in traditional film spaces? Exhausted from trying to fit into a mold designed to turn you into something else? Want a break from film “bros” and online trolls? Us too. Vulnerability is foundational to the creative process: you simply can’t create your best work when you aren’t your authentic self. We’ve designed Indie Empire to foster welcoming, positive community, enforced with our code of conduct. Users who show up with unkind voices and condescending feedback violating our code of conduct are suspended. You’re showing up, you’re being vulnerable, we’re going to do everything in our power to protect that. While elements of this site look and feel like social media, it’s important to remember: this is not an open community. This is a protected space.
GET WHO YOU NEED, AND WHAT YOU NEED.
RESOURCE
SHARING
Our entire premise is that when you harness the power of a community, you can go further. Nothing proves that theory more than our resources board. Let the Indie Empire community help you find the things, places, and people you need to make your movie real. Can’t find a location? Need an actor ASAP? Looking for a prop or costume piece? Post it in the resource board, and let the community work it’s magic.
Code Of Conduct:
Gentle Filmmaking
There are lots of difficult elements of the film industry that we can’t change, but the culture we create is NOT one of them. We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that the Indie Empire community is a safe space, with positive intentions and helpful vibes. In an industry that demands toughness, staying gentle IS power.
Step into your Creator Era!
We love video classes, but sometimes you just need to ask a question and have it answered in real time, by a real person! Check out our calendar of live classes, or stop by office hours to have general Q&A with a teacher!
Learn at your own pace, with college style film courses in every department of focus. Complete these at your own pace, complete with worksheets, PDFs, and other helpful downloads along the way!
Network, make connections with like-minded creators, and crew up for your next film! Use our job boards to hire like-minded creators from within this community, or to look for your next collaborative partner!
Showcase your work in a smaller environment, where your work will ACTUALLY be seen. Tired of posting on Instagram only for it to disappear into the void? Smaller community sizes means real eyes, and real comments on your work.
FAQ:
What if I try the free trial, but I don't like it?
No worries! You can cancel anytime, even before paying! We want your free trial to be as easy as possible.
How long does the membership last?
This is completely up to you! Unlike other sites that lock in a year of membership up front, we maintain ours month to month, so you can cancel any time. We know freelancers budgets change from month to month, and we want our platform to be flexible enough to fit comfortably in your lifestyle!
Can I join if I'm a student?
Yes! Please! This club is for creators at all levels in their journey, from those who haven’t even started yet, to old pro’s!
Can I join if I am not in the USA?
You can join Indie Empire from anywhere in the world! You can be a part of this community from wherever you are; access art outside Hollywood by joining our global network of filmmakers!
I want to explore career opportunities?
You’ve come to the right place! Networking, job hunting, and team building are a big part of our site! While all our classes and events are currently only online, the friends you make are yours to keep! Meet up, collab, make great stuff!
What types of classes are there?
Our goal is to cater to creators across the industry, so we make sure we are always adding and expanded both our class library and our roster of teachers! We have classes in Production, Directing, Writing, Audio, Acting, Editing, and more! Most of our classes also feature a little twist of creative wellness and staying healthy and positive in the industry!
I want to join, but I've never made a movie...
Perfect! This club is for creators at all experience levels, in fact, it’s one of our strengths! Whether you’re a film student, an old pro, or someone who is camera curious but hasn’t made the leap yet, this space is for YOU.
How long are the classes?
Most of our classes are 40 minutes to 1 hour, and they are completely flexible for participation.
What is your cancelation policy?
Our cancelation policy is simple: Cancel any time. You can cancel your account at any time, and will not be charged moving forward.
If I cancel, can I come back?
Of course! We’d be happy to have you. Unfortunately, if you cancel your account, your profile is not saved, so you will need to re-enter all of your set up information, and reconnect with your followers, but you’re always welcome back when it’s a more convienient time.
I have more questions, can you help me?
Absolutely! Feel free to reach out to us on instagram if you have a question! @New32Indiefilms and @IndieEmpireOfficial
