About The Newbie Film Academy
The Newbie Nation
Welcome to The Newbie Film Academy
The Newbie Film Academy is where beginners come to gain the knowledge and strategic foundation they need before stepping into the world of filmmaking. Our approach is simple: before you pick up a camera or step onto a set, you must understand the craft, the process, and the strategy behind a successful production.
Here, you’ll learn the essentials — story structure, planning, funding, casting, performance basics, budgeting, and creative strategy — in a way that is clear, practical, and beginner-friendly. We teach you the “why” and “how” behind filmmaking so you can make confident decisions, avoid common mistakes, and build a solid roadmap for your first project.
Backed by 27 years of Wisdom Production, LLC, our Academy emphasizes learning, clarity, and strong foundational skills. Hands-on production will come — but first, we prepare you with the knowledge, direction, and guidance you need to move into filmmaking with confidence and purpose.
If you want to learn the craft the right way — with understanding, strategy, and support — this is where your journey begins.
