Werner Herzog offers two-week 'hit and run' online film-making courses

Director's masterclass will cover everything from obtaining financing to scouting locations - but not storyboarding, which is 'an instrument of the cowards'

He fought running battles with Klaus Kinski on the set of 1972's Aguirre, the Wrath of God, dragged a real ship over a steep hill for 1982's Fitzcarraldo and even opened his own film school. Now Werner Herzog is promising to teach budding directors the art of guerrilla film-making online for the small matter of $90 (61).

Herzog, who famously stole his first camera from the Munich film school, claims in a video for the Werner Herzog Film-making Masterclass that his students can learn the essentials of the art in two weeks. He berates wannabe directors who shoot hundreds of hours of footage for later editing, warning them that film-makers "are not garbage collectors".
