The Hollywood Film Institute presents:

<<back to the store

"Hollywood's greatest Film Course" as taught by Dov S-S Simens is now available on 16 audio cassettes!
Why spend more, waste time, and learn less? USC, UCLA & NYU film schools cost $20,000-$80,000, take 2-4 years and dispense only theory.
Now, the critically acclaimed CRASH-COURSE is on 16 audio cassettes so that you don't have to wait for the course to come to you, but you can literally attend film school whenever you want and wherever you are!
16 hours on audio cassette. Only $289!!

listen to Dov's overview:

"Listened to Dov on HFI tapes... Immediately shot Resevoir Dogs" -Quentin Tarantino
