"Sara Elizabeth has been integral to helping me navigate producing in the film & tv world. She has shared such incredible wisdom that she has learned over the years. Her perfect blend of honesty and encouragement has helped me take major steps forward in my film. I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future!"

"Making a pitch deck has gone from being an insurmountable task for me to a fantastic opportunity to create my vision of my story utilizing the techniques, knowledge and experience that Sara so generously shared with me. I have come away from the experience with so much more confidence."

"Sara Elizabeth's workshops, masterminds, and the collaborative community she’s created are incredible! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Sara Elizabeth is candid, supportive, a wealth of practical information and she goes above and beyond to clarify and explain issues ranging from pitching, screenwriting, and producing to the nuts and bolts of financing, distribution, legal issues and accounting. Sara’s classes have given me the confidence and clear understanding of what’s possible to produce high production, quality projects within reasonable budgets."

Frequently Asked Questions
Originally, you could purchase all of our courses and resources separately- "a la carte". We realized that this can really start adding up for filmmakers and saw the membership as an opportunity to bundle all our on demand courses, with live resources which allows us to offer you resources at a MUCH cheaper rate. I one year membership is actually cheaper than it had been to purchase ONE course a la carte! Also there are many exclusive offerings that only members can participate in and are not available to purchase a la carte. We LOVE the new membership option which makes it all both accessible and affordable!
All memberships are an annual commitment whether you opted for monthly or yearly billing. You will get several courtesy emails leading up to your annual renewal date with the opportunity to cancel the renewal should your situation change (but we will still be here to support and cheer you on)! Unfortunately, we cannot cancel your membership before your commitment year is completed.
Unfortunately not. All memberships are an annual commitment.
As filmmakers, we totally understand that there may be a month on a film shoot when you have zero time to take advantage of your subscription with us. The membership is designed to last one year to give you the maximum benefit and the process of repeatedly canceling and restarting your membership will result in you losing important interactions within our online community, access to resources from classes you have taken, and more. The annual commitment allows us to bring you so much value at such an inexpensive price. This is why we have a No Refund Policy. All purchases are final sale, so refunds are not provided for previous months on NFSNTFNP regardless of whether you have logged in to view your content.
Also, our billing system is automated and we do not have the ability to freeze or skip payments or adjust the billing cycle for any of our members.
When you select a membership, you may choose the 12-month payment plan method, which will be billed automatically every 30 days. Or you may choose the year-long payment plan method, which will be billed automatically every year until you chose to cancel (you get a month free in this option). Our billing system is automated and we do not have the ability to freeze or skip payments or adjust the billing cycle for any of our members.

No problem! It is a little tricky with our current technology, but it is doable! You will have to cancel your current membership plan and start a new one. To start the process, please contact us at [email protected]. We will help you end your current plan and upgrade you. Please note that when you upgrade, it will start the upgrade as a new plan which is a commitment of one year from the new plan date.
