Let's be real...

Does this sound like you?

  • You have ideas and stories to tell, but turning them into a structured, shootable film feels overwhelming.

  • You want your work to look cinematic and professional, but you don't have expensive gear or a studio setup.

  • You've tried making films before, but they never turn out how you imagined them - or how they feel in your head.

  • You want to find your creative voice and develop a filmmaking style that stands out.

  • You feel disconnected in the industry because you don't have connections, a network, or a big budget.

  • You're busy with work, school, or life, and don't have endless hours to learn filmmaking - but you want a system that fits into your schedule.

You're not alone!

In 2017, I was where you are now. Filmmaking is tough - especially when you’re doing it alone.

I spent years figuring it all out. At many points, I felt overwhelmed, stuck,
or like my ideas would never make it past my head.

But the truth is, you don’t need a massive budget, expensive gear, or industry connections
to create something incredible! All you need is the right system - a framework that
takes you from great idea to finished film, step by step.


Through trial, error, and experience, I learned how to make professional-quality films

with nothing but my creativity, resourcefulness, and the right techniques.

That's why I built Film Mastery - I'm handing over everything I wish I had when I started -

so you don’t have to spend years figuring it out alone.

MEET YOUR MENTOR

My name is Joe Perri and I’ve spent my life chasing the power of a great story one that grips you, moves you, and refuses to be ignored.

As a kid, I read so many amazing books, I vividly remember saying to myself, "If I can inspire one person and make them feel something beautiful, then my life will be a success!"

Since then, I've earned a 2:1 BA in English and Media Studies from UC Santa Barbara; an MFA in Writing & Directing from USC School of Cinematic Arts. I've directed a couple award-winning films, including my thesis film "Niño de Nadie," which earned the Director’s Guild of America Jury Prize for Best Director in 2022.

Here's what I'm even more proud of over the past decade, I’ve traveled the world, capturing beautiful stories and connecting with a lot of incredible people across the way.

A good friend once told me, "Everything is an education." They were right.

Here’s the #1 thing I’ve learned after 10+ years as a professional filmmaker:

You don’t need a huge budget, fancy equipment, or Hollywood connections to tell meaningful stories & create magnetic films that inspire.

You need vision, intention, and the desire to express what you feel.

From shooting films on a shoestring budget and working with top-tier production crews, I’ve experienced every side of the filmmaking journey.

That’s why I created Film Mastery: to empower the next generation of filmmakers.

This is not just a course, it's a community of visual storytellers ready to make a positive impact.

I am here to show you how to unlock your voice, realize your full potential, and create professional-quality films, no matter where you're starting from.

Once you master the essential tools of filmmaking, the possibilities are limitless —

And your message as an artist can resonate far beyond what you ever imagined.

Frequently Asked Questions

What disciplines do you focus on?

Film Mastery gives you the ultimate foundation for filmmaking, equipping you with the knowledge to thoroughly craft your story from beginning to end.

Our program encompasses all The Five Pillars of Filmmaking:

(1) Writing (2) Cinematography (3) Producing (4) Directing (5) Editing + (Bonus Module) Marketing & Distribution

Are your courses for beginners or experienced filmmakers?

Our courses are for anyone willing to learn the art of cinematic storytelling! Whether you’re a complete beginner, or a creative looking to elevate your work to the next level, this program is built to transform you into a comprehensive filmmaker, confident in your skill set.

We break down filmmaking into actionable, easy-to-follow steps, combining deep insights with hands-on techniques to ensure every student feels empowered and inspired throughout the process.

When do I get access?

The process of getting accepted is instant! Once your payment is processed, you will be able to set up your account. You will receive access to all lessons & our community on our official launch date — 05.01.2025.

Where can I view the courses?

Once you create your account and log in to your customized student dashboard you will have access to the course videos.

How long do I have access to the course content?

How does lifetime access sound?

Once you enroll in Film Mastery, you’ll have unlimited access to the program — across all your devices — so you can learn at your own pace, revisit modules anytime, and grow your skills over time.

Do you offer refunds?

Film Mastery is backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. We are so confident that our program will help you that we guarantee a full refund within 14 days after purchase. To qualify, just show that you’ve engaged with at least 20% of the course — this helps us improve the program for everyone. Refund requests must be submitted to our support team at [email protected] within the 14-day window. Please note that refunds will not be granted for courses that have been fully completed.

Can I download the lessons for offline use?

No, our content is not downloadable, but you will have lifetime access to it as long as you have an internet connection.

Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?

Relying solely on YouTube is overwhelming, inefficient, and often frustrating. Tutorials are scattered and answers are partial. There’s no cohesive roadmap to tie everything together.

Film Mastery cuts through the noise.

Ask yourself instead: What’s my time worth?

For many filmmakers, saving weeks (or even months) of trial and error is priceless. Film Mastery is your shortcut to professional-level filmmaking, delivered with clarity, expertise, and community support that YouTube can’t match.

If you’re serious about elevating your skill set and fast-tracking your success, this is your opportunity to learn with focus and purpose.

Do I need to have filmmaking equipment before I start?

Not at all. The only essential ingredients needed to start are a passion for storytelling, a willingness to learn, and a laptop that can handle basic editing. If you have a smartphone that shoots video, you already have everything you need to practice the exercises we provide and start developing your skills immediately.

Filmmaking is about action. The sooner you start creating, the faster your skills will grow — so don’t wait for the “perfect” gear. Start with what you have, and let’s make magic happen.

Along the way, our program reinforces the power of knowledge as your most incredible, lifelong tool. It will allow you to communicate effectively with your future creative teams, ensuring your vision comes to life no matter what equipment is available.

Inside Film Mastery, we break down the different options for gear you can invest in with your budget. Professional filmmakers typically agree that having skills and experience are more important than having expensive equipment.

Should I go to film school?

This is one of the most common questions I get asked, and the answer ultimately depends on your goals and willingness to take on the tremendous financial burden of traditional film school.

The short answer? We already did, so you don't have to.

At Film Mastery, we’ve streamlined the core principles, techniques, and real-world applications of filmmaking— drawn from the curriculum of the top film schools in the world — into a program that’s accessible, affordable, and designed to deliver results without the need for six-figure tuition or massive debt.

Film school does offer certain intangibles, like face-to-face networking, hands-on access to professional gear, and facilities like editing labs. However, it’s worth noting that many traditional programs struggle to keep up with modern filmmaking trends, and some instructors may lack the passion or up-to-date experience to inspire the next generation of storytellers.

Understand whether you choose Film Mastery or film school, the most important factor in your success will always be your dedication, passion, and willingness to take action.

If you’re ready to dive in now and start creating, Film Mastery is here to guide you every step of the way.

What's the Cost of Staying Stuck?

How many more months - or years - will you wait to make your film?

How many ideas will stay locked in your mind instead of brought to life?

Doubt, overthinking, feeling "not ready" enough - these are just excuses.

The truth? There's no perfect time to start.

And there's never been a better time than now.

You don’t need a big budget, a full crew, or anyone's permission.

You just need the right system to turn your vision to reality.

Your stories are waiting.

Your future as an artist is waiting.

The only question is: Will you take the first step?
