My name is Jae. I have a youtube channel called JSFILMZ where I have tutorials on Unreal Engine 4 & 5. I decided to start creating paid courses to teach people Unreal Engine 4 & 5 for filmmaking since majority of tutorials online for Unreal are for creating video games. I truly believe Unreal is the future and I want to give people the head start by creating videos here.
