I’ve been making and working on films off and on for the last 8 years. It’s clear to me, who you know has made the biggest difference. As Courtney said, pay less attention to having the right equipment or getting that one perfect role, instead make stuff, do stuff, and meet others that are doing what you do. If you make connections and talk about what you love, others will see that, and invite you to be part of their projects. Better yet, make something unique with them instead of waiting for some else to ask you to join them. I’ve made a lot of friends where I used to live in the Central Coast, and now that I’m in LA I’m doing it all over again. I’m volunteering to work on set on smaller projects and following up with the cast and crew to hang out or just grab a coffee. Finding out what makes them happy and what their story is. Sharing that kind of information with them too lays the path for them to know how you can fit into possible other projects they have coming up, and visa versa. I’m thrilled to see spaces like this, created to educate, help us all merge as one force, and bring out the talent in us all. I look forward to seeing what we all create.

I want to do something special for the first 20 people who join Premium or VIP. I'm calling you the Founding 20 and you'll have direct access to me. I want to lock you in as potential crew and collaborators. You'll be the first people helping me build this into the resource I wish existed when I was trying to break into the industry. If you know you want to be part of this long-term, I would seriously consider getting into the first 20. The membership will still exist after that, but the Founding 20 benefits won't. The first 20 Premium members will get: 🎬 PRIVATE CAREER STRATEGY SESSION A private 30-minute call with me to talk through where you are, where you want to go, and what I think your next moves should be. 🎥 YOUR “GET BOOKED” AUDIT I’ll look at your professional presence: your portfolio, résumé, IMDb, website, Instagram/LinkedIn and positioning, and help you identify what needs to change before you start reaching out for work. 🎬 THE FOUNDING 20 ROOM Private small-group sessions with you that future members will never have access to. 🏆 FOUNDING MEMBER STATUS You’ll permanently be one of the original 20 members who helped build The Booked Creative from the beginning. 🚪 FIRST ACCESS TO NEW EXPERIENCES Founding members be on my crew list, get first access to new castings, crew calls, workshops, live trainings, industry resources and opportunities I add to the community. 💡 HELP SHAPE THE COMMUNITY Direct input into what I build and teach next. I'm building this based on what you all REALLY need to bring your businesses and careers to life. Only the first 20 members get the Founding 20 experience. Once those spots are filled, they're gone. I want this to be a place where you come in saying: "I want to work in this industry." and not have to start by paying hundreds of thousands on film school. Premium and VIP will always be available. But there will only ever be 20 Founding Members. https://www.skool.com/thebookedcreative/plans

New member here, reaching out the group to see where everyone is at. I’m currently in LA and hope to connect with as many people here as I can so we can all support each other in making something amazing. Features, shorts, etc. Reach out and let’s talk. I’m always down to make something.
