Writing the Low Budget Horror Feature

At a Glance

  • Learn John Russo's step-by-step method for writing low-budget horror movies that get sold worldwide.
  • Learn how to structure your theme, characters and plot so your movie can be made inexpensively and yet make money in the domestic and international markets.
  • This webinar is a must for any aspiring filmmakers who want to jump-start their career.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

There are good reasons why many famous filmmakers such as Sam Raimi, Tobe Hooper, Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino credit me with inspiring them or helping to launch their careers. When I met Quentin Tarantino at the LAND OF THE DEAD premier, he said, "I made a movie I didn't finish, then I read your books, took notes and made charts, and that's what guided me toward my first finished movie."

My own career as a feature filmmaker and writer started with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, and after that I wrote more than a dozen low-budget horror films that have been sold worldwide and are still selling. My movie MIDNIGHT, shot in 35mm for only $70,000, has been in constant distribution for three decades, and is considered a cult classic.

I've written 22 novels and made 20 feature movies, most of them based on my own screenplays. My books on writing and movie making are known as Bibles of Independent Filmmaking, and are used as textbooks in my seminars and workshops.

Let me teach you how to put new life into your own scriptwriting!

Meet the Author: John Russo

With 20 books published internationally and 19 feature movies in worldwide distribution, John Russo has been called a "living legend."  He began by co-authoring the screenplay for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, which is known as a horror classic.  His three books on the art and craft of screenwriting and movie making are known as Bibles of the Industry.
