Tired of those overpriced, fluffed-up courses that only cover a topic or two and leave you to figure out the rest on your own?
THE REASON BEHIND
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
YouTube tutorials are shorter format educational videos that squeeze hours and hours of filmmaking/education into 10 minutes or less. YouTube tutorials go over general ideas for product videos, but don't offer the space to explain every important detail. While YouTube tutorials are engaging, the Product Video Course is where I dive into greater detail making sure you have all the information you need for product filmmaking big and small. In this thorough, organized, self-paced course I answer your burning questions like, how do I come up with ideas/concepts. PLUS you get Exclusive Access to Bonus Materials: like my LUT pack, email templates, and a community of creatives. AND you're the first to see and know everything new!
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish. As long as the course exists, you have access to it! And you will see exclusive new content added as you go.
This course is for both beginner filmmakers and content creators who want to learn more about how to create product videos and work with brands + companies. If you are unsure if this course would be a right fit for you, please don't hesitate to reach out before you buy at [email protected].
I get asked this all the time by fellow creators...when starting my filmmaking career I didn't seek fame, I only wanted to create films because it fueled my passion. When no one knew my name I reached out to the people who inspired me and rarely received a response. I told myself if I ever reached a place where people could benefit from my support I would whole-heartedly support them. That's why I share all that I know, respond to every message, and am here to support your film career just like I wish I had someone there to do for me. Because we’re all in this together. And when we create, we inspire, and our unique styles shine through--everyone wins and the bar of filmmaking raises.
I get it – there are a lot of overpriced programs, courses, and memberships out there full of fluffy, surface-level content just to make them appear more valuable than they truly are. Not cool. If you’ve seen my YouTube tutorials you know I don’t keep secrets. That’s why I created this course; it covers everything you need to know to run a successful product video business, and you’ll get access to brand new content every month, for as long as you’re enrolled! On top of that, it’s available at a super affordable lifetime membership, so you don’t have to sweat about handing over thousands of dollars – you can simply start learning and up-leveling your skills.
You’re totally content with where your business is right now and you don’t want anything to change.
You already know everything about growing and scaling a videography business, so you don’t need education that could help you go further faster, or a community of like-minded pros by your side.
You don’t really care about filmmaking and the thought of cultivating your skills for a hobby or a business isn’t exciting to you.
You’re a filmmaker or aspiring filmmaker who’s eager to grow whether this is your hobby, your side hustle, or your full-time job, you’re always down to sharpen your skills.
You’re inspired by trying new things, getting wild with ideas and whatever you’re capturing – products, cars, chocolate bars – you want to do it to the best of your ability.
You believe we weren’t meant to do this alone and you’re ready to meet like minded filmmakers and learn alongside an incredible community of creatives.
Lastly, you just like myself, believe you can always learn more and be better than yourself the day before.
