What is Film School Sucks?

I’m Adam Petrey, the indie filmmaker behind this growing community of over 11,000+ storytellers.

I believe that anyone should be able to become a filmmaker regardless of where they are in the world or their financial circumstances.

My mission is to help inspire working class filmmakers across the globe with accessible resources, no-nonsense tools, & premium film education.

I want to foster an uplifting community where every single indie filmmaker can learn, grow, and succeed on their own terms.

I’m not trying to be a self-help guru with all the answers, I’m an indie filmmaker just like you who wants to help make life easier for other filmmakers.

I want to share the ups and downs of my own career and help you learn from my mistakes so you don’t have to learn these lessons the hard way like I did.
