Voted "America's #1 Film Instucture" by the National Association of Film Schools, Dov founded Hollywood Film Institute in 1987.

"I never went to an expensive film school. I graduated from Muhlenberg College (Allentown, PA, 1965, BA-Economics)  and spent 3 years in the army (1st Lieutenant, Special Forces, '66 - '69). After Vietnam, I owned a successful bookstore in Carmel, California.

In 1980, I sold the store, took the cash and went to Hollywood with an idea and a dream. I chased the deal, called agents, met studio heads, pitched development execs, hustled bankable stars and foreign buyers. I optioned books, true life stories and wrote scripts. Finally, I put my money where my mouth is, wrote bank checks and made a 90-minute 35mm feature film that won festival awards."

"I learned to make movies from beginning to end... not from film school theory but from street reality. Over the next five years I held jobs as a Production Manager and Line Producer, and perfected my filmmaking skills by writing those bank checks time and time again as I made movie after movie for other companies."

Dov made over 100 films as a production manager, line producer and producer-director for the likes of Roger corman, Crown, Canon, and New Line Cinema.

"...During the past 20 years, I have taught how to produce, write or direct with amazing success (graduates to date have grossed over $2 Billion) and haveperfected my craft. I am proud of my teaching ability. I do not present myself as a great producer or the great director. For I am not! And great producers or directors, the Spielbergs & the Coppollas, you will discover are not great teachers. But what I am, is exactly what you want, "a great film instructor", who is proud to give you the most amount of Hollywood filmmaking information, for the least amount of money, in the shortest period of time."

His 2-Day Film School has become the philosopher's stone for independent film-makers. Graduates of his 2-Day Film School have made more feature  films in the past five years than the film school students from the world's top three film schools, i.e. USC, UCLA and NYU, combined.

Dov teaches regularly at colleges, universities and film schools around the world. He is the founder of THE BIZ , a $5.5 million resource center for independent filmmakers in Santa Monica, California. His best selling book, "From Reel to Deal" is published by Warner Books.

"I have created this (2-Day Film School™) for you, 'someone who does not want to spend $50,000 - $100,000 and take 2 - 4 years of theory, but wants the facts.' "Why wait! Get into action! Take my film school programs, and you will be able to launch your career... :"
