Dear Berserkers-
“🗡️We’re not here to break in. We’re here to burn new paths.”
🎬 Filmmaker Berserk Master Course
The Business Side of Film — Savage, Unfiltered, and Built from the Battlefield
This is not a course for the passive, polite, or Hollywood-hopeful.
This is for the Berserkers — the filmmakers who are done waiting for permission and ready to own every inch of their film, their money, and their legacy.
The Filmmaker Berserk Master Course is a complete business training built from the ashes of real industry betrayal, financial war stories, and insider knowledge they don’t teach in four-year universities. In fact, our students have said they learned more in one hour here than in years of film school.
You’ll walk away with the actual tools, legal understanding, and distributor-proof documentation that protects your film and makes you money.
💥 Here’s What’s Inside (That Film Schools Skip):
-
How indie films actually make money: AVOD, TVOD, licensing, streaming, and direct-to-audience revenue models
-
Film financing from the front lines: Pitch decks, investor strategies, budget breakdowns, and how to raise money without selling your soul
-
The truth about distribution deals: Vetting sales agents, spotting producer rep scams, and negotiating contracts that protect YOU
-
Deliverables decoded: Legal documents, bonds, insurance, SAG contracts, and the checklist distributors actually demand
-
Ownership strategies: Who owns your film—and how to keep it that way
-
Monthly revenue systems: Memberships, Digital drops, and merch monetization
-
Real case studies including the Nations Fire post-production disaster—complete with QC fails, cost breakdowns, and how the system tries to bury you
-
How to self-distribute like a savage: Skip the gatekeepers if you choose and get your film directly to your audience
🚫 What You Won’t Find Here:
-
Fluffy theory with no application
-
Outdated film school lectures - or education about unrealistic multi million dollar budgets that you will (hopefully) never work with.
-
Professors who’ve never sold a movie
-
Passive advice about “playing the game”
🧨 What You Will Get Instead:
-
Contract deconstructions
-
Financial battle maps
-
Distributor-proof deliverable checklists
-
Templates, documents, and case files used in real films
-
A rebellious mindset that will burn the “wait your turn” mentality to the ground
⚔️ This Course Answers What Filmmakers Search for Most:
-
“How do indie films make money?”
-
“How to get a distribution deal without getting ripped off?”
-
“How to finance a movie independently?”
-
“Do I need a sales agent?”
-
“What does a film deliverables list include?”
-
“How to protect your film rights?”
-
“What red flags should I watch for in a film deal?”
If you’ve ever searched for those answers and hit a dead end, this is where your real education begins.
🎯 This is the business of film—rebuilt by a filmmaker who went to war and came back with receipts.
You’ll never look at Hollywood the same way again.
You didn’t get into film to be owned. You got in to make work that matters.
🧨Distributors want 100% of your movie. And worse- they BILL the Filmmakers on top of using deficits and "Hollywood Accounting"!
We are tired of filmmakers/industry professionals from all positions experiencing:
💣Your Film Submissions/(For Actors)- Your Talent and time on films lead nowhere.
💣 Pay in sandwiches and “exposure.”
💣Sales agents promise the world and vanish before you realize your budget is in their pocket through manipulative business moves.
🔥 It’s time to go Berserk.
“Being a berserker doesn’t mean reckless—it means relentless.”
You don’t wait for permission. You take what's yours.This course isn’t safe. It’s effective.
The Berserk Film Business Course is about power, ownership, and cutting through the B.S. of the modern film industry.
When you gain access to this Producer's Portal, you will not only get the proprietary business secrets of those you are fighting to get in with, but you will also get an inside look into the books of a 1.3 Million dollar production . Alongside the comprehensive curriculum, you’ll gain exclusive access to the REAL contracts, delivery requirements, and behind-the-scenes producer challenges from the production of Nation’s Fire. This star-studded film features two-time Academy Award nominee Bruce Dern, Emmy winner Gil Bellows, UFC champion Chuck Liddell, and Crystal Reel Award winner Krista Grotte Saxon, led by an Oscar- and Emmy-winning producing team who served as executive producers and sales agents.

Dive deep into the rabbit hole. Filmmaker Berserk isn’t afraid to challenge the gatekeepers.
This isn’t just a course. It’s a battle plan for filmmakers who refuse to be taken advantage of. Are you ready to go berserk?
Lets Get Started!
Dear Producers, Investors, Directors Filmmakers
‘The Gatekeeper Myth’
For decades, the story was the same:
Get into the right room. Say the right things. Hope someone picks you.
Screw that!
We’re not trying to get picked.
We’re building systems.
We’re building audiences.
We’re building empires they can't ignore.
The gatekeepers are losing their grip—and we’re not waiting around.
The Berserk Film Business Course shows you how to turn your creativity into power, ownership, and income—without kissing rings or shaking hands you don’t respect.
Master the Business. Protect Your Film. Avoid Costly Pitfalls.
Industry roadblocks aren’t just frustrating—they’re designed to keep indie filmmakers from succeeding. Without the right business knowledge, even the best films get trapped in bad deals, lost in distribution, or never see the light of day.
💡 Berserkergang members don’t let that happen.
We give you the inside knowledge Hollywood doesn’t want you to have—so you can navigate:
✅ Funding strategies that actually work (beyond crowdfunding and empty promises)
✅ Distribution deals that pay, not exploit
✅ Self-distribution models that put YOU in control
✅ Legal, regulatory, and copyright protections to save you thousands in business risks
This isn’t theory. It’s war-tested indie survival strategy.
✅ How to spot and avoid predatory distribution deals
✅ How to negotiate from strength, not desperation
✅ The truth about sales agents, aggregators, and middlemen
✅ Building a direct-to-audience model that pays you—monthly
✅ How to own your IP and build a career—not a one-time “win”

The Industry Traps We Help You Beat
Your Production Manual: The Blueprint for Getting Down to Business
From screenplay certificates to technical delivery requirements, a serious film production comes with binders full of paperwork—legal documents that protect the interests of your team and the business behind your film. This paperwork is just as vital as the film itself, and often just as costly. We’re here to save you from the chaos and set you up for success.
Protect yourself. Be seen as a professional by investors and know the business inside and out.
Distributors and sales agents have developed systems that often leave filmmakers in the dark. Revenue reporting can be unclear, and contracts are frequently vague, allowing for practices that don’t always benefit the creators. By positioning themselves as the gatekeepers of distribution, they’ve mastered a business model that prioritizes their profits, leaving filmmakers broke and without a film.
But with the Filmmaker Berserk Program, you’ll gain the knowledge to interpret contracts, understand reporting practices, and ensure that your creative work receives the business attention it deserves. It’s time to approach this process with confidence and take control of your film’s financial future.
Mind-Blowing Industry Insights That Will Change Your Path to Profitability.
We’ll introduce you to the Independent Film Sales Model, used by sales agents who close deals with studios like Universal, Lionsgate, Cinetel, and Voltage. Most Sales Agents are out to take advantage of you while not protecting your investment or your creative intellect. You deserve to know how they operate. We show you.
You’ll then learn how to find the right sales agent and secure global distribution deals that actually get your film out there.
But we don’t stop there. From quality control to legal contracts, we’ll guide you through the paperwork, ensuring your project clears every hurdle and sets you up for long-term success in the industry.
With us by your side, you’ll turn your filmmaking passion into a thriving, sustainable business.
