The following are some testimonials from some of Amour's former students:
“The lessons I learnt on this course extend beyond practical film knowledge. And while all the appropriate information is passed down to the students in understandable ways, what struck me most about the course is the energy. It was a course that forced me to do something I wanted to. It taught me creating something beautiful is about hard work and focus as much as it is about creativity. And above all, while the course taught me that while it’s difficult to create a film, it’s also extremely simple. All you really need is some pushing, and that is what you get from this course. The experience is real; you will go through ALL the processes of making a movie. The experience is challenging, but ultimately fulfilling; A catalyst for fulfilling further film inspired dreams! I completed the course. I made my first movie. And I am indebted to the course and Amour for making what seemed a very unrealistic dream possible.”
Sarah Summers (Winner of Best Film at the Auteur Film Festival 2010)
“I experienced film-making in an exciting new way thanks to the Auteur Film School. The knowledge I gained from the Guerrilla Film-making course has proved to be invaluable & learning under Amour's professional mentorship has been such an amazing experience. The amount of information that gets imparted during the course, as well as the process of putting a film together from script-to-screen has been phenomenal. I'm not sure there is any other film school out there that can do what Amour has successfully managed to do, in such a short period of time. It is definitely worth the investment! I highly recommend the Guerrilla Filmmaking Course to any aspiring filmmaker who is serious about making films.”

"The PA Bootcamp has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge about the line functions, processes and possibilities in the film industry. Thus I feel more empowered to make the leap from full-time employment to the uncertainty of freelance work. I would highly recommend this intensive course to anyone considering a career in the film industry."
Ryan Fortune (Associate Producer: "Triompf" - Feature Film)
"The amount of detail that was given in the PA Bootcamp was incredible! I received extreme clarity as to what it actually means to be in the film industry. It has, I believe, equipped me well for the job I need to do. It also made me realize that a 3 year degree is not always the best option, which is the route I initially went. If anyone wants to start in the film industry I would definitely recommend this course as a starting point. At the same time it has made me excited to continue working as a Runner."
Dave Atherstone (AFDA graduate)
“Even in a short space of time you can truly understand what makes the industry tick and how the cogs fit. Amour empowers students to tackle this intimidating world with a guerrilla style of filming where the student is the master creator— and the sole carrier of responsibility— the experience of which is the only true teacher when it comes to finding viable work. Confidence, while humble, and a thirst for knowledge will take any student very far. Trust Amour to equip you with the basic and important skills!”
Kejenne Beard, International Award-winning student filmmaker, Reelshow International, 2008
“It was the grassroots level training we received at this film school that I enjoyed the most. A no-nonsense, easily applicable course that forced you into the hot seat and taught you in a short time what most film courses struggle to teach you in a year! I went in as an experimenting newbie and came out pitching to (and winning) a contract from Cartoon Network and a film budget for my first feature-length film from investors. I encourage any budding filmmaker to do this course!”
Andrew Wilmot, Director/Producer: “The Race-ist” Feature Film
"The Film-acting course changed my life! I couldn't believe that there was so much I could still learn as an actress. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to pursue a career in film acting."
Gwyneth Abrahams
"Amour is an inspirational teacher and, if you let her, she'll nurture you, she'll open up a whole new world for you, and she'll show you that nothing is impossible!"
