9to5 CREATIVE ESCAPE PLAN

· WHAT IF you could have a do over and study film, screenwriting, production, etc. instead of the “safe bet” major you went for...

· WHAT IF you could unleash your creativity with a clear path to towards
monetisation and profitability...

· WHAT IF you had the ability to create a world class network like a pro...

· WHAT IF you knew insider knowledge of the industry...

... without paying full tuition again, taking a million courses, investing in expensive gear, or starting over in your career.

· Your parents wanted what they thought was best, but “safe bet” careers aren’t that safe anymore. Job insecurity, low economic mobility, and mental health concerns make your 9to5 unsafe anyways.

· Bosses want your creativity only if it can benefit the bottom line, if not you have to “stay in your lane”.

· People in your circle look down on you and your creative pursuits, yet pay top dollar to be entertained all the time while they tell you that.

· You take a million courses but never build up the nerve to show your work.

These people, end up FRUSTRATED, not only with an unfulfilled project, but an unfulfilled longing, and the terror of having given their best years to a soul sucking job. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

I work with young professionals looking to:

· PIVOT away from their corporate jobs and into the media industry.

· ESTABLISH a consistent and monetisable creative practice.

• This isn’t my first rodeo, I’VE MENTORED MY WHOLE PROFESSIONAL LIFE. This here program is actually better and more structured than my informal mentoring.

• I agreed to be CEO of company in the red, three years later I sold a controlling stake at a $6 MILLION VALUATION. I speak from TRUE business experience.

• I have 10+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in the industry, and am still actively producing.

• More to the point, you’ll have access to 10+ years of TEMPLATES FROM SCRIPTS, SCENARIOS, CONTRACTS, AND MORE.

• You’ll have accountability, I don’t only charge so you have «skin in the game» but also because I will hunt you down for RESULTS and give you REALTIME SUPPORT.

• I care deeply to heal your relationship to your creativity. I don’t live off my mentoring, this program exists because of MY DESIRE TO HELP PEOPLE WHO LIVED WHAT I LIVED.

«Play long enough, you never change the stakes, the house takes you.
Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet big, and then
you take the house»

When you sign up we start with a one on one call as soon as you want. Afterwards, we begin the first 2-week module:

Module 1: Giving PERMISION

This is the base mindset we need to start healing your relationship with your creativity. In this module you will announce first to yourself, then to your inner circle, and finally to the world, «I am creative». Here you’ll start a creation regiment, creating something everyday.

Module 2: Cultivating Insider CURIOSITY

Learn curiosity and you’ll be an insider faster than you think. Here we create a custom learning plan that we’ll get you up to speed on the industry while also helping you build your inquisitive muscles.

Module 3: Learning NETWORKING Soft Skills

Show biz is not about who you know, but about who knows you. We are an industry built on rapport. In this module you’ll learn how to network like a pro. At the end of the module you’ll have a masterclass with a media exec friend to integrate all your new skills.

Module 4: TECHNICAL Incremental

Fixation on "gear" is my pet peeve. Cameras don’t make movies, people with cameras make movies. This module will explore fundamentals about what software and hardware is industry standard, but mostly you’ll learn not to buy a camera and not use it, but to build a project and then think about cameras.

Module 5: Creating ROADMAPS

My mother used to say «goals without deadlines are dreams». Now confident in yourself as a creative and armed with a thirst for knowledge, we envision your path. We’ll see monetisation, life, career, etc.; if it’s a goal we’ll see to it that you have a clear and exciting path forward.

Module 6: Making a Kickass PORTFOLIO

Finally we’ll give you the tool most need but never make, a centralised artefact of your work and skills. Filled with polished versions of everything you’ve done since the first module, you’ll have something that will wow people make them want to hire you or work with you.
