Calling all frustrated actors, writers and directors who want to fast-track their career in Film and TV!
From
IDEA
To
ACTION
Launch a film career through writing an investorless feature film.
Dear Filmmaker,
If you’re tired of waiting for permission to start your career…
If you’re sick of being told you need a great agent, climb a ladder, pay your dues, or have Hollywood connections, or a world class script to get real career traction…
Then I'm about to change your life.
I’m Aaron Jay Rome (call me AJ), and I know exactly what it’s like to feel stuck.
I knew what I wanted, but not how to get it...
I spent 10 years writing scripts that never got made, auditioning for lead roles I didn't get, searching for funding, and hoping to bump into Spielberg and get whisked away.
As you probably guessed... it never happened.
I knew I needed a strategy, but had no idea where to start.
I always heard "make your own content" but didn't know what "content" to focus on.
And I was scared I'd just be wasting time and energy if I made the wrong choice...
But then I watched a keynote speech by Mark Duplass called The Cavalry Isn't Coming.
He cemented the idea that I needed to make a feature film...
And guess what?
That Investorless Film flung the doors to my career wide open.
The best part?
This was a simple strategy, that anyone could apply.
The film that changed my career was:
🗓️ Written in weeks, not years
📷 Shot on cheap cameras
💳 With $1,000 budget
🏔️ In 3 Locations
🗓️ In just 5 days
😆 And was actually a lot of fun to make...
Yes, you read that right.
What is an Investorless Film? Glad you asked.
If your career strategy looks anything like mine did, you're --
❌ scrolling through FB groups looking for jobs that 20 people have already submitted to...
❌ dodging scams like Neo in the Matrix.
❌ submitting to casting calls, but rarely auditioning (or never booking the roles you want) ...
❌ wasting money on screenplay competitions, festivals and feedback with no real interest from producers...
❌ making short films, webseries-es, music videos and that one commercial you shot for your friend's dad hoping someone will notice...
You're chasing shiny objects but making no real traction.
This is the fastest way to BURNOUT.
But with an Investorless Film, you can focus all that energy on one project that—
✅ Doesn't require fundraising or investors
✅ Can be shot in less than a week
✅ Showcases your unique artistic voice
✅ Cements your leadership abilities
✅ Proves your ability to execute a vision
✅ Builds a team of dedicated collaborators ready to go to battle for the art, not the day rate
✅ Establishes industry credibility
✅ Becomes your calling card for future opportunities
✅ Opens doors to distribution and monetization
✅ Gives you ownership over your career
✅ Puts you in the 1% of filmmakers who actually finish a feature
✅ Creates something eternal
Here's what mine did for me -
Between the new relationships I had, and the opportunities that opened, I had friends hitting me up every day asking me how we did it.
So after helping a few of them produce projects like I did, and perfecting the strategy, I put everything I learned into one course.
And now, I’m handing you the exact roadmap to do the same.
Think of From IDEA to ACTION as a longterm career strategy through making a feature film.
9 years of hard work, and 10 successful projects produced.
And now, it's all yours.
.
So here’s what you’ll learn:
🎯 How to IDENTIFY your Unique Mechanism and create a plan for how your film will help you ACHIEVE your goals.
⌨️ How to WRITE a feature film from scratch using the 80/20 Screenwriting Method I've used (and taught to more than 100 filmmakers) to complete bulletproof film scripts in weeks, not years.
🎭 How to CAST actors that bring nuanced performances, even if you don't have money to hire them.
💵 How to EXTRACT VALUE from your film, in the form of money, relationships and new opportunities.
Can’t wait to see you in there!!

I don't just teach it...
I put my money where my mouth is.
Me, in Madrid in 2018, walking to the stage to accept the Best Director award among 300+ films for a film I wrote, directed, produced and starred in using the Lead Domino Film method.
In less than 5 years I've grown 2 production companies, competed in the Emmys® and have greenlit $700k+ in projects.
HAVE QUESTIONS?
Here's some I get a lot...
Do I need experience to make a feature film with this method?
No! Whether you're an actor, writer, or director with no prior filmmaking experience, From IDEA to ACTION gives you a step-by-step roadmap to making a feature film that opens doors.
How can I make a feature film without investors or fundraising?
From IDEA to ACTION teaches you how to write a low-budget, high-impact feature film using resources you already have, without relying on traditional funding.
How does making an Investorless Film actually help my career?
Your feature film becomes your calling card, showcasing your skills, leadership, and artistic voice while building industry credibility, creating new relationships, and unlocking career opportunities.
I’ve made short films and spec scripts—why is this different?
A feature film is the ultimate proof project—it shows you can execute a vision from start to finish. Shorts and scripts don’t hold the same weight in the industry.
What if I don’t have a script or an idea yet?
From IDEA to ACTION walks you through developing a script using the 80/20 Screenwriting Method, helping you craft a compelling, production-friendly story fast.
How long will it take me to complete the course and start shooting?
Let's be real. Features are hard work, and no two filmmakers are in the same shoes. From IDEA to ACTION is designed for immediate action. Many students complete their script within weeks.
What if I live outside of LA or NY? Will this still work for me?
Absolutely. This strategy works anywhere—you don’t need to move to Hollywood to launch your film career.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes! If you watch the full course and don’t feel like you can write a feature film, you can request a 100% money-back guarantee within 30 days.
I have an existing script. Will it work in From IDEA to ACTION?
It depends! From IDEA to ACTION is designed to help you make a film you can actually shoot now, without waiting for investors. If your script is production-friendly—meaning it can be shot with minimal locations, a small cast, and resources you have access to—then yes, it can work!
However, if your script requires big budgets, VFX, or major set pieces, you may need to adapt it or write a new, strategic script using the 80/20 Screenwriting Method taught in the course.
The goal is to make a feature that propels your career forward without unnecessary barriers.
Is there a way to work with you?
Yes! If you want hands-on guidance while making your feature, you might be a great fit for Filmmaker Fast Track—our high-touch mentorship program.
While Lead Domino Film Accelerator gives you the full roadmap to making an investorless feature film, Filmmaker Fast Track provides direct feedback, live coaching, and accountability to ensure you actually complete your film.
If you’re serious about getting expert support, collaborating with other filmmakers, and fast-tracking your success, book a call to see if you qualify for Filmmaker Fast Track.
So you want a career in film? Cool! Where do you go? Film school? Move to Los Angeles and "see what happens?" (It's nothing, by the way. Nothing "happens.") Write a script and try and get Netflix to buy it? (They don't buy from unknowns, legally, no studios can.)
Sure, you can cobble together a career path from different YouTube channels, but with conflicting ideologies you'll never feel confident in investing your valuable time and energy into a half-a$$ed career plan.
Real change comes from mentorship. I know that because I didn't have it, and lost 10 years to making bad career decisions and being unwilling to invest into learning from those who've done what I wanted to do.
Me, circa 2009, 4 years into my "Film Career." Aimless, working as a production assistant (the bottom rung on the ladder), wearing my wife's least favorite hat, flailing in ignorance, going nowhere fast (but really trying to look cooooool).
Cut to 2015 when I learned about Value Compounding. In 4 short years I made 2 feature films, won a Best Director award, competed at the Emmys, joined the Television Academy, started 2 production companies and started making more money in a year than I'd made in the previous 10 combined.
This was all because I stopped waiting for somebody to come and save me. Traction comes from digging your heels in. Value Compounding is the track.
Me, in Madrid in 2018, walking to the stage to accept the Best Director award among 300+ films for a film I wrote, directed, produced and starred in.
This is for aspiring or current Actors, Screenwriters, Producers, and Directors who want to stop waiting to get discovered, chasing random projects, spending thousands on film school and screenplay competitions, auditioning for tiny roles, and get

"Okay, AJ, what's the catch?"
If you're like me, you're skeptical and probably wondering why I'm giving away the farm for just $297...
A few reasons...
1. I didn't have these resources when I was getting started, and I also didn't have a lot of money. I wanted to give this information to as many filmmakers as possible. I'm paying good money for the ads that brought you here, and pricing it this way helps me pay for those ads.
2. I know the internet can be a scary place, so I want to give you something of outstanding value at a no-brainer price, to earn your trust, so you know where you can go to get good advice.
3. I'm willing to give away as much information as possible to find a few key filmmakers who want to work with me.
And that's it! So if you're serious about getting your film career on track, and put the wheels in motion to a career beyond what you imagined, click I'm Ready below and let's get started.
Need to justify the price? Skip that fast food run this month and it's paid for. This course will offset your film's budget by $10,000 - $50,000 (which is pretty cool too.)
