The Art & Business of Motion Picture making, producing and marketing is as vast as the mind's eye.   We offer small size, intensive, hands-on production experiences on and off the movie set.
 
We offer one-on-one coaching sessions on any subject at some of the lowest fees you'll find.  You get to ask questions and we'll provide answers or research the best resources.
 
Our founding principles are based upon de-mystifying the moviemaking process.  We strive to help you to actualize your indie-visions and dreams in the shortest time possible at the lowest possible price. 
 
The one price you will pay is the commitment of your time.  You will either spend time moving forward or spend time re-inventing.  The main thing is that you do not QUIT.

DFAI'S MOVIE-BIZ CONFERENCE HELD DURING THE BARE BONES INTERNATIONAL FILM & MUSIC FESTIVAL IN APRIL

 
featuring the Actors, Writers and Moviemakers from Darkwood Film Arts Institute.
 

This site will change from time to time to reflect new dates, times, events and photos from our training sessions.
 
This is our 16 Year Anniversary and over a thousand students have come and gone through our doors.  Many are just "Curious" and were satisfied to find out what the movie world was all about then kept their photos as precious memories. 
 
Others have gone on to Hollywood to try their luck in the mainstream of moviemaking.  Still others have continued the process, gathering and strengthening their skills, acting in movies and are moving closer to their dreams of STARDOM.
 
We hope that our alumni will return and share their experiences with Oklahoma-based actors in the near future.
 
During the Bare Bones International Film & Music Festival and Script-2-Screen Movie-Biz Conference, we host panels, workshops, seminars and guest presenters from around the world to share fresh ideals, skills, strategies with attendees in addition to screeing their independent movies
