Meet Your Instructor.

Meet your instructor Dan Geyer

Hi - I'm Dan Geyer and just like you... I was born with ZERO filmmaking skills, fancy gear, or any support.

Since I was 12 I wanted to direct movies.

Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio with no resources, I mastered getting favors and getting friends family and the townspeople involved in my little productions.

I won the Scholastic Gold Key in filmmaking and also in photography when I was 16 and the Philo T. Farnsworth award, essentially making me one of the top student filmmaker in the midwest, at 17.

I was awarded full scholarships to many art schools in the midwest but I declined those, moved across the country with no money or parental support and enrolled in film school by taking out $100,000 dollars in debt. I slept on the floor in a friend's living room...

Why? To learn from the best minds in hollywood.

I worked in post production, visual effects in movie trailers, commercials, behind the scenes documentaries, feature films. I have been mentored by multiple academy award winners and went on to direct indie shorts, indie features, a TV pilot, and commercials.

And guess what the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire journey is...?

"You don't need fancy gear, expensive cameras, famous actors, professional degrees, or anything to make an impact on the world with your film and change your life by following your creative passions..."

Just like when I was a kid making low quality garbage, it was that I HAD SOMETHING TO SHOW and told a story that gained attention and opened the door to even bigger and bigger opportunities.

But I get it, you probably don't really care about who I am and why I created this platform...

Right now, all you care about is

CAN I ACTUALLY HELP YOU!

I finally have put everything I know down into a system that I wish I had.

Since launching 1-Week Director in 2021,

over 83,000 people have enrolled

in the program and the feedback is in...

People are blown away at how fast they can learn directing when they follow a proven step-by-step process.

I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this journey!

Who This Course Is For

  • You are a go-getter.

  • You value time and following a proven plan.

  • You want to learn the most crucial elements of directing that will make the biggest impact

    on your career and learn other cute tricks later once you have massive momentum.

Who This Course Is NOT For

  • You do not value saving time following proven plans.

  • You aren't willing to take instructions and prefer to figure things out on your own

    with trial and error

  • You would rather know many facts about Martin Scorsese's career and be a smart film buff vs. getting your hands dirty and becoming your own director that someday other people study.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do I Get Access?

How does lifetime access to the course sound?

Should I Invest Before Buying Camera Gear?

I made this cheap as hell so that you can invest in your film. But either way, you are your number one asset. If you suck, no amount of money will save your movie. Everyone looks for external things to buy and think that will save them. Invest in yourself first.

You can decide to pick up some gear using our gear recommendations in the course, but this is not required.

Do I need additional fancy software and equipment?

No. The point of this program is to turn you into a weapon.

The quality of your work stems from you, that is the most valuable problem I can solve for you to transform your life. I do have equipment and software recommendations in this course but we also go over how to make what you have work and available free tools.

Anyone today can be a director. The limitation is you, not the availability of technology.

Is this program strictly for movies or can this also be useful for other types of videos?

This is built to turn you into a director so that you can make narrative films and tell better stories with a camera. However yes these skills can be very useful in other places. We've seen the power of Hollywood storytelling leveraged to sell things better, convince people to take action, and inspire people.

If you want to harness the true power of storytelling with a camera this program will be teaching you that. And worst-case, $48 (with a 7-day return policy) is pretty much as low risk as it gets. This is Free for a limited time because im insane so what's there to lose!

Is there a guarantee?

Absolutely!

1-Week Director by Dan Geyer - Our Famous 7-Day FIRST BORN CHILD GUARANTEE  If within the first 7 days you're not so thrilled that you wouldn't name your firstborn '1-Week Director,' we will give you a full refund, no questions asked.
