NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Miguel Parga

I’m a bestselling author of What They Didn’t Teach You in Film School and Make Your Own Movies, and I’ve spent the last 18 years as a college film professor—teaching thousands of students how to craft stories that win festivals, sell shows, and move audiences.

But before all that? I was just a four-year-old kid, sitting in a dark theater watching Jaws, and apparently—according to my mom—trying to shoot the shark with a toy gun. That moment stuck with me. It showed me what a great story could do: make you feel, react, believe.

That’s what I teach now: not just how to make films, but how to tell stories that matter.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure this out on your own, I get it. Film school can cost tens of thousands—and still leave you with more questions than answers.

I’m here to shortcut that.

Inside this course, I’m breaking down the storytelling principles that have worked for thousands of years, and showing you how to use them today—whether you’re making your first short film or scripting your next video.

Let’s get your story from meh to masterpiece.

Jimena Arguellez

Producer

"Miguel confirmed like no other my love for movies, production and storytelling. He inspired me, to go for it, and gave me the tools to do it the best way possible."

Emilio Frenk

Writer / Commentator

"Working with Miguel was an amazing experience. His advice and his mentoring has played a key role in my career in the film and entertainment industry."

Elaine Minionis

Filmmaker 

“ There is no day in my professional life where I don’t apply Miguel’s significant lessons, not only the technicalities behind editing a movie, but also learning to trust  your creative instincts. For that, I am forever thankful.”
