NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Butterfly Noir Inc., a nonprofit arts organization that strives to close the opportunity gap for artists, whose talent is historically underrepresented, is holding a hybrid workshop (virtual and in-person) for aspiring artists. Filmmaking Hustle 101 is an educational Crash Course in Making Movies on a Budget. This content series equips aspiring and independent filmmakers and content creators with the practical knowledge, mindset, and strategies needed to navigate today's film industry in the absence of a big budget.

Designed for creators at every stage, Filmmaking Hustle 101 is a fast-paced, hands-on 6-week workshop that breaks down resourceful strategies for production efficiency. Butterfly Noir welcomes aspiring filmmakers that are both NYC-based and out-of-town to their workshop. By the end of the series, all participants will leave with a sharpened concept, a solid production roadmap, and the hustle mindset to move from idea to execution. NYC-based participants will have produced content on an active film set.

Participants are only required to have internet access, a device to join workshop meetings, and a phone for filming. Filmmaking Hustle 101 begins February 3rd and culminates March 12th. The workshop will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30PM - 9:30PM EST.

This workshop caters to creators who are seeking experience in filmmaking and/ or have visions that they can't figure out how to turn into reality whether it's publishing or obtaining necessary resources. "People often approach me about a story idea they have, expressing that they don't know how to turn it into a movie or that they don't know where to get the money to make it happen. I wanted these budding creators to be informed and to learn how to produce their film with little to no money" -Brandi Webb, Filmmaking Hustle 101 Workshop facilitator.
