Message from the Course Instructor
Hi my name is Colm O’Murchu from International Film Base.
In one Week, I will teach you how to make your own profitable professional short film. This is the very best investment you could make in your future film career Spend one week with me and your film career will change dramatically for the better.
Let me tell you about my films. We have recently produced. the micro budget and very profitable feature film The Makeover which won Best Comedy Drama at the New York City Film Festival. This film has sold to Pay TV in Europe and to American Pay TV released by the American Film Company, Breaking Glass Films.
Here is the trailer.
The above 93 minute feature film was made on less than $50,000. For a feature film that is a very small budget and what that means is that it does not take very many sales to make the film exceptionally profitable. With American Pay TV and European Pay TV, this film has become a winner.
I have now taught up and coming emerging and beginner film makers since 1997. That is 14 years of teaching experience, instructing film makers how to break into one of the most glamourous careers. And we have had so many success stories.
Imagine making festival wining films that get seen all around the world and on top of that make you money.
Over the past 14 years, I have worked on music videos, documentaries or feature films or behind the scenes films on big feature films and I have to tell you the lifestyle is awesome. I have just returned from Doha in Qatar, Dublin ,London where I presented a film course. Then I went to Paris and Singapore on a film work-related trip. I am back in Sydney now but in November , I will visit Los Angeles and attend the American Film Market in Santa Monica and film meetings in Mexico. ( it is a hard life!!)
My current feature film “Dealing with Destiny” is due for release soon. On this film I was hired to direct and I was paid a very reasonble fee plus share of profits. The Film was made for $1 million dollars.
Here is an interview I did with Jonathan Coleman.

What people say about the One Week Film School .
“To put it bluntly this course is an inspiration, I still can’t believe how much we got through. I’m still bouncing off the walls with excitement and have already lined up two collaborations with fellow students. Colm’s teaching makes dreams come true.” – Probir Dutt, Rok Starr Films
“Colm’s passion for filmmaking is infectious, by around lunchtime, the feeling was “I can do this, doesn’t sound too hard. The knowledge and skills gained from Colm, through his years of industry experience, certainly fast tracked my own journey into filmmaking, primarily now as a cinematographer for numerous productions, including webseries’, short films and features… including one recent short film, written & directed by Shailla Quadra (Shailla is also a beneficiary of Colm’s training), that has been selected for and will premiere at this year’s 2011 New York City International Film Festival.”
