AL DANTE A private filmmaking membership
Learn filmmaking inside the real work of AL Dante
AL Dante Studio is an ongoing private community where I share how I shoot, light, edit, test gear, build projects, and make creative decisions today — through new deep dives, real project breakdowns, live Q&A, and occasional behind-the-scenes working sessions.
One deep dive · One real project breakdown · One live Q&A each month · Community posts and polls
$49/month · Cancel anytime · Primarily in English
This is a one-time, fully refundable founding payment — not a recurring charge yet. If at least 25 founding members join by September 10, 2026, we will launch and this payment will count as your first month. If we do not launch, your full $49 payment will be refunded automatically.
This is not another finished course
Art Factory is a complete recorded program you can follow from beginning to end. AL Dante Studio is different. It is a place to keep learning over time through the work I am doing now: new cameras, lenses, lighting setups, edits, client decisions, channel experiments, mistakes, and discoveries.
What happens inside the Studio each month
- 01 One deep dive A prepared session focused on one useful subject: cameras, lenses, lighting, composition, editing, color, sound, creative direction, brand work, or monetization.
- 02 One real project breakdown We take one actual AL Dante project apart: the goal, preparation, shooting decisions, footage selection, edit, mistakes, and final result.
- 03 One live Q&A / office hours Bring questions about filmmaking, workflow, gear, editing, or creative business. Selected member work may be reviewed, but personal feedback for every member is not guaranteed.
- 04 Community posts and polls Short notes from current work, behind-the-scenes material, useful references, equipment observations, and member voting on future topics.
Sometimes, you can watch the work while it is happening
When the project allows it, I may stream part of a real edit, lighting setup, camera test, or AL Dante Channel production session. These are working sessions, not polished classes. They let you see how decisions are made in real time. Because client work and unpublished projects can be confidential, these sessions are occasional bonuses and are not promised on a fixed schedule.
- Week 1 Deep dive: building a cinematic image with one light
- Week 2 Real project breakdown: from food concept to final edit
- Week 3 Community poll and short behind-the-scenes posts
- Week 4 Live Q&A and selected member critiques
The exact subjects change. The format stays clear, while members help choose future topics through polls. You will see the current month in detail and a flexible direction for the next one to three months.
Built around the questions filmmakers are asking now Cameras and lenses · Mobile filmmaking · Lighting and composition · DaVinci Resolve · Final Cut Pro and occasional Premiere Pro experiments · Color and sound · Real shooting workflows · Building a visual style · Working with brands · Monetization and creative business · Behind the scenes of AL Dante Channel
AL Dante Studio is for you if…
- You already create video or seriously want to start.
- You learn best from real projects and honest decision-making.
- You want current practice, not only a fixed library recorded years ago.
- You are comfortable learning in English.

It may not be for you if…
- You need a complete step-by-step course available immediately.
- You expect personal mentoring or feedback on every project.
- You need a fixed twelve-month curriculum.
- You want guaranteed income, views, clients, or career results.
The main language of AL Dante Studio is English. Prepared sessions may use translated voice or subtitles when needed. Occasional Russian-language sessions may be added when there is enough demand, but they are not part of the guaranteed monthly schedule.

Founding membership — $49 per month
$49 is close to the cost of a monthly gym membership, but the value is not passive access to a library. It is a continuing place to study real filmmaking work, ask questions, follow new experiments, and stay connected to the process.
- Today you are making a one-time $49 founding payment. It is not an automatic monthly subscription yet.
- AL Dante Studio will launch if at least 25 founding members join by September 10, 2026.
- If we launch, you will receive a separate invitation to activate the monthly membership, and this payment will be credited toward your first month.
- If we do not launch, the full $49 will be refunded automatically. Banks may take 5–10 business days to display the refund.
Is this a course?
No. It is an ongoing membership and private community. New sessions, project breakdowns, and discussions are added over time.

One prepared deep dive, one real AL Dante project breakdown, one live Q&A / office-hours session, and community posts. Occasional working streams are bonuses and do not follow a guaranteed schedule.

Yes. Once the monthly membership begins, you can cancel online at any time. Your access continues until the end of the paid billing period, and you will not be charged again.
Do I keep access after I cancel?
No. Studio content and community access are available while your membership is active. Any separate lifetime product you purchased remains yours.
Is Art Factory included?
Not at launch. Art Factory remains a separate complete course with lifetime access.
Are sessions recorded?
Core sessions and project breakdowns will be available in the member archive while your membership is active. Some long or sensitive working streams may be live-only or available for a limited time.
