Craft unforgettable stories without relying on luck

Gain clarity and confidence in your creative decisions so you can create compelling films that you’ll be proud of.

This is what I want

Most filmmakers struggle to make films that move people.

But you're not just any
filmmaker...

You're here because you know your films can and should be better.

Now you might be thinking


I’m A Filmmaker
 Why Should I Care About Storytelling?

Shouldn’t I be more focused on improving my technical skills so I can make better films?

I’ve mentored thousands of students in the last 15 years I’ve been a filmmaker and an educator. And the biggest mistake I’ve seen them make is overlook the most important part of their film: the story.

Story is the heart of your film. Storytelling is your job, and how well you execute on it depicts how captivated, engaged, and motivated the audience is to take action on your message. Beautifully captured scenes are nice to look at, but it's the brilliant storytelling that makes your audience watch your film over and over again, then share it with everyone they know.
