From concept to final cut, you’ll know exactly how to get a film made — from pre-production and scheduling to filming, editing, and festival-ready delivery.

🎯 Built a Clear Career Roadmap
You’ll know how to take your next step in the industry — how to find film work, create your own projects, and turn your passion into a career.

🔥 Found Direction, Motivation & Momentum
No more “someday.” You’ll have the confidence, clarity, and inspiration to make filmmaking your life’s work.

🚀 Turned Your Dream into Reality
This is your chance — your opportunity to finally become the filmmaker you’ve always wanted to be.

 

💡 We’re selective by design.

Each intake is small and focused. We receive far more applications than we can accept, and we choose motivated emerging filmmakers and passionate beginners who are ready to commit and grow.

I'm a newbie filmmaker and didn't know where to start so this film school was right up my alley. Great teachers, good advice and I finished the five months knowing I could make some great films and even have the confidence to do some freelance film work. Thanks so much for helping me out.. well worth the money spent!

I learnt so much on the five month film school and trust me I've been to so many courses. If you want to learn a lot in a short span of time, Australian Film Base is the place to go. The price justifies the knowledge and experience you will get once you complete this and as for me I was able to get a job in the film industry thanks to these guys.

I've taken many quick courses about filmmaking and this one is by far the best in Melbourne. Really in-depth, quality instructors that have knowledge and field experience that are down to earth and really made me feel at home (I had a lot of questions). I left the course more confident in myself to take on the film industry! Everything from lighting to camera angles.. I learnt so much!!

I've been keen to get into filmmaking but wasn't to sure what I really want to be. Editor? Director? or mabye grip? Well I learnt so much in 5 months and it really helped me map out my goals on the position I wanted to endeavour in in the film industry. Loved every single day here! Peace, Francis.

Absolutely loved the 5 month Short Film School. You learnt everything you need to be able to create your very own film! I went on to produce my very own short film 😁.
