Here is what every talented filmmaker does. You build a reel. You post it. You wait. You make a website that says you do video production. And nothing happens, because video production is not a thing any business owner wakes up needing.
Meanwhile the money is real. Local and regional businesses spend thousands per project on video that is worse than what you would make. The person who got the job was not better. They were findable, specific, and easy to say yes to.
The national brands you dream about hire through agencies, almost never direct. But the regional layer: healthcare groups, home services companies, real estate teams, franchises, and the agencies serving all of them, is reachable by you, this month, with no ads and no following.
We kill the words I do video and build your one line offer: one outcome, for one industry, priced like a professional. This alone is why identical talent gets quoted at five hundred or five thousand.
Together we build your thirty business target list from the reachable money in your region. Not dream brands. Businesses that already spend on video and answer their own phones.
The outreach system that books conversations without ads, without posting daily, and without feeling like spam. The exact first message, the follow up cadence, and the portfolio of one page that makes saying yes easy.
Price the first deal without panic, run the shoot like an agency, and turn client one into clients two and three through the referral system.
Eight questions, about four minutes, costs nothing.
If it fits, you pick a 15 minute slot the moment you finish applying.
You get a clear yes or no within 24 hours, and everything you need to start.
Two hours live each week. Teaching plus hot seats: your positioning and your target list reviewed in the room.
Two hours live each week. We write and send real outreach together, review responses, and work your active deals.
The target list builder, outreach scripts, pricing calculator, proposal template, and shoot day checklist. Every document I use.
A private community space and async reviews. Questions answered daily. Every call recorded, so you never fall behind.
This is not a refund guarantee. It is stronger. If you do the work and the client has not landed by day 90, you stay in the program at no cost until it happens. Doing the work means: attend or watch both weekly calls, complete your thirty business map by day 14, send twenty outreaches a week from day 15, and log your activity weekly. That is the whole contract, written into your enrollment, in plain language.
Two hours twice a week with real attention on your deals does not stretch past ten people, so the founding cohort is capped at ten. Founding members get the lowest price this program will ever have: when the founding cohort produces its case studies, the price goes up, and that is not marketing, it is just what happens to things that work. The application is free and takes about four minutes. If it fits, I reply personally within 24 hours with everything, including the founding terms.
You will notice there are no testimonials on this page. That is because this is the founding cohort, and I refuse to invent proof. What you are buying is fifteen years of industry judgment, a system with a deadline and witnesses, and a guarantee with teeth. When the founding ten land their clients, their stories will sit right here. That is the point of joining now.

It is a system, a deadline, and a room. The application takes four minutes.
