Certainly, these are the best websites in the world for indie filmmakers. But what the fact is I wonder why you don’t add the name of no film school on this list of filmmaking websites link

No Film school is one of the great filmmaking websites in the world- and the site has a lots of subscribers than other Filmmaking websites. But due to the lack of in-depth content of that site, we deliberately avoid it.
But, we will reconsider that statement again
