Break into the film industry and become a full-time filmmaker using the “Reverse Career Approach”

Here's a snapshot of what you're getting in the Reverse Career Blueprint
The Reverse Career Approach is a new way to break into the film industry (and become a full-time filmmaker) in 2025…
Most filmmakers put all their hopes on a big festival breakthrough—but that only works for a tiny few.
After 40+ years in the film industry, I’ve created a unique strategy allowing new filmmakers to get hired again and again…
It’s called the Reverse Career Approach.
Instead of waiting for a big break at a major film festival…
We reverse engineer the career path of new, aspiring filmmakers like yourself…
By following this path, you get to earn money working on real-world gigs…
And at the same time, you grow your reputation, build your portfolio, and move closer to your filmmaking dream.
No matter if you’re new to the industry, if you don’t have a degree, or if you don’t know anyone in the business…
You can use the “Reverse Career Approach” to start earning, learning, and growing your career on demand.
In fact, many of my students have gone on to build prosperous careers in the filmmaking industry.
I’ll share some of their stories in a later section of this page.
