When I started my career as a filmmaker, I learned more on the job than from my formal education. Why? Because in the real world, I could ask questions and get tangible advice from seasoned professionals. This allowed me to quickly gain confidence and start producing my own films.
I soon longed for a mentor who could quickly fill gaps in my knowledge. My only options were learning the hard way through trial and error, or overworking my contacts.
Later, I found myself on the other side, with newcomers offering me coffee or lunch in exchange for advice. I happily obliged, as mentors were hard for me to come by early on in my career. This willingness to lift up emerging filmmakers ultimately earned me a Lifetime Achievement Award.
However, as my career grew, I struggled to find time to mentor others while meeting pressing deadlines. I wanted to compile the common bite-sized questions I received and create affordable, à la carte learning modules.
That's why I created LevelUps - streamlined courses to augment your existing knowledge. LevelUps are NOT a film school. LevelUps efficiently tackle targeted needs, like writing pitch decks or decoding budgets. They extract the most relevant pieces so you avoid sifting through unnecessary bloat of a full-blown — and expensive — film course.
How do I write a finance plan for a film? Do a LevelUp.
First time looking at an A-Z budget and don’t know where to start?
Time to LevelUp.
