Troma Entertainment, which has been producing and distributing films since 1971, making them one of the oldest independent motion picture production companies, has one of the best kept secrets in the industry called “Make Your Own Damn Movie!”
You may have heard of the book series under the same title, but now Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma and well-known director of The Toxic Avenger series, created a crash-course on filmmaking aimed at anyone who has ever wanted to make a film, but does not have the financial backing to do so.
Using examples from his 40 years in the business, “Make Your Own Damn Movie” explains the filmmaking process from conception to completion. Kaufman has taught the master class at Yale, USC, Perth Film Festival and Norwegian Film Development, to name a few. For more information on how to find a course or to book Kaufman for a lecture, visit his site here (http://www.lloydkaufman.com/masterclass/).
Additionly, Troma currently has the fourth highest-selling horror film on Amazon, “Father’s Day.” The limited-edition four-disc blu ray set is the top selling independent horror film. Congratulations, Troma!
