Ever wonder how some climb the ranks to become household names faster than others?
How do some achieve the spotlight in a few short years while others toil away for decades or simply quit before ever finding success?
Think it's talent?
It's not.
Luck?
Maybe a small fraction, but no.
That's not it either.
I'll give you one more guess...
From Christopher Nolan, to Ava DuVernay, to The Daniels and Greta Gerwig, Quentin Tarantino, to Robert Rodriguez, this battle-tested career strategy has worked for decades.
It's not going anywhere, and I want to show you how to harness its immense power for yourself.
It's called Value Compounding and it's the beating heart of Filmmaker Fast Track.
You might be asking yourself, "But why have I never heard of Value Compounding?"
You'd hear the stars hint at the strategy on talk shows, but it wasn't till I discovered a little-known - yet incredibly powerful - segment of the film industry that when targeted correctly, results in massive and rapid success.
The best part?
You don't need industry connections...
You don't have to be independently wealthy, or fundraise at all...
You don't need to win expensive screenplay competitions...
You don't need to belong to unions...
Or repped by an agency...
And you can start doing it from anywhere. No need to move to Los Angeles or New York.
It's true.
You're not alone.
There are thousands or tens of thousands of talented people desperate to break into the same industry...
Most of them will try and push and shove their way to the top, screaming to the powers that be, begging for a career.
This is the slowest and least reliable way to find success.
You're here in search of something different.
You know there's something better out there, which brought you here.
With Value Compounding you can hunker down...
...focus on what you want to be working on...
...building valuable relationships...
...and creating compounding assets that will
Let's face it, filmmakers are a stubborn bunch.
They've developed a skill, and that's all they focus on.
Then the waiting begins... for the perfect opportunity that matches their skillset to fall in their lap.
Which, let's be honest, doesn't happen very often.
And when it does? It's fleeting...
After all, creating is hard. (or that's what they say, at least)
Creating comes with a lot of common beliefs like you have to raise millions of dollars, have a massive social media following, a rich Uncle, or years of film school under your belt...
These are just limiting beliefs, fear of failure, or simply, repeating what they've heard others say because they don't know any better.
BUT THE TRUTH IS...
Some of the most successful careers in Hollywood have been started by projects with:
No "name" talent
No budget
No connection to Hollywood
No film school
No prior film experience, period.
I hear you asking... "But how is that possible?"
I've been on all sides of production... since 2005. And I've helped dozens of filmmakers build rewarding careers in record time.
In this program, I'll not only give you the exact strategy I use to get in front of decision-makers that can change my life in a snap of their fingers ...
I'll also personally help you implement it in your career.
On top of that, we'll work together using dripped content that covers:
Finding your "WHY"
Understanding and branding yourself as an artist
Developing your first "Value Project" to showcase your abilities
You'll get direct access to me and my team every Tuesday on LIVE CALLS.
AND
a private group of like-minded creators taking the same approach.
Using 80/20 Filmmaking principles you won't need funding.
Plug-and-play script writing process is easy enough for anyone. Even "non-writers."
Shoot an entire feature film in less than a week.
This Page Expires When The Timer Hits Zero.
In the first week you'll learn how to identify the guiding light that will serve as your North Star in your career.
By creating clarity around what you're after, you can navigate career decisions without guesswork.
No more analysis paralysis around where to focus your efforts.
Then we dive into brand voice, and how to ensure that every piece of "content" (I loathe that word)
whether a tweet to a post on Instagram, or an entire feature film, is laser focused at your audience, even if they don't know you exist yet.
By pulling back the curtain on the magical nature of Hollywood, you'll learn how to position yourself to your target audience. Not just the people who will purchase your work, but the decision-makers that can pluck you out of obscurity and put you in the spotlight.
Then we break down the exact framework to break your long journey into smaller parts.
An entire career can seem like Mount Everest; overwhelming to look at all at once.
Think of me like your sherpa. I'll show you the basecamps that make climbing that mountain not scary at all, but super exciting and fun. (Like a film career should be!)
Over the next week, you'll start adding your ingredients to your first "Value Project."
Remember the "little-known - yet incredibly powerful - segment of the film industry that when targeted correctly, results in massive and rapid success" I mentioned earlier?
I give you a list of examples for inspiration for yours.
We get deep in the nitty gritty of choosing what you'll create, and how to position it to your dream audience.
Where most filmmakers get some talent or ability and then stop learning, this is where the rubber meets the road -- the business part of Show Biz(ness).
Most filmmakers only focus on the art and hope the business part just, kinda... works out.
But by creating a firm understanding of who you are, and what you want to achieve, we can dig deep into how best to target your audience who will support you, as well as your long term career goals.
From there you'll learn which genres sell, and which ones are a harder sell so you can choose which route makes the most sense for you.
Have you ever heard the concept "Creativity thrives in confines?"
Think of it like a blank page with infinite possibilities, versus a paint-by-number.
Both can create something beautiful, but one takes MUCH LESS EFFORT.
We'll identify the confines for your Value Project that makes the process of putting it together like child's play (not the creepy doll movie.)
For the following week, you'll complete the initial legwork of structuring your Value Project.
While you continue the process of honing your script, you'll get more guidance on how to make it shine.
From structure, to character, I give you the tools to make your script function correctly.
Never written anything before? No problem, this process is seriously easy.
It's been used by many actors to create lead roles they'd otherwise wait decades to book.
This week dives deep into how the acting and directing process differs from a traditional "studio style" film.
Where they focus on spending hours or days on things that only Studios can afford, I show you exactly where to put your energy to get up to 20 pages shot per day.
This class features veteran actor, and mindset coach, Dean West.
This week begins with one of the most widely used and useful systems to enriching your plot development and characters.
From there we focus on how to capture your film.
Know zilch about cameras?
Lenses?
What a DP is and does?
We cover all of it with a Master Cinematographer.
By the end of this week, you'll have a tight grip on what's important in this 80/20 storytelling format.
As most filmmakers at this point will still be working on ironing out the wrinkles in their scripts, I give you one last system to pass your story through to guarantee it'll function as a film should. (It's my personal favorite)
Then I let an editor with multiple multi-million dollar films under his belt take center stage.
Let this veteran bestow priceless advice on how to take your film from the can to the screen.
What programs should you use?
How to edit story?
Following idea threads?
We cover a lot. But not so much that you'll feel overwhelmed.
Some students will be in pre production by this point, and it's not uncommon for some to have already started shooting.
Your speed doesn't matter, as long as you follow the steps and show up for the calls, you'll be well on your way to having your first marketable value project released into the world.
Next week, we'll show you what to do with it.
This is where most filmmakers drop the ball.
They have a film, and then... crickets.
The point of Value Projects is to squeeze every bit of value from them.
This week we talk to a film distributor and marketer to uncover the state of the current market, and different release strategies.
Should you go to festivals?
Aim for a distribution deal?
Self distribute?
This week ties all the previous weeks into a perfect bow.
Extracting value means different things to different types of filmmakers and different types of projects.
We'll cover it all here... and if we don't?
You have weekly live calls for help and support!
If ever I can't answer something myself, I'll reach into my deep bag of industry experts to get you the help you need.
