Is your film the next I Am Number Four? Or will your creative vision take you Somewhere else? Figure out the next move for your project with Making the Power Move from Amateur to Pro:
- In-person seminar on selling a project and building a career
- Learn the unspoken rules and "secret handshakes" straight from Hollywood insiders
- Shows how to move out of the amateur pool and start working
Establishing a career as an entertainment professional requires much more than just talent-it requires strategy. Step out from behind that computer and approach the industry as a business person with a product to move and no time to waste.
Making the Power Move from Amateur to Pro offers Insider knowledge on the strategizing, selling, politicking, self-agenting, reputation-building, and other business skills you need to establish a paid, lasting career in the industry.
Taught by the executives and producers of Voyage Media, a company that has helped writers, producers, and directors package, polish and pitch over 1,100 high-profile entertainment projects in film, TV, and branded entertainment, this course provides a fresh-from-the-field perspective on building a career in an exclusive, seemingly impermeable industry. It teaches you how to:
- Avoid wasting time on the wrong ideas (and start spending time on the right ones)
- Stop going it alone. Choose supporters and delegate the way the pros do
- Be your own agent - and use their best tricks to your advantage
- Get ready to pitch and sell so you don't blow it when your moment comes
- Build a reputation that will get you hired again and again
- Spot and avoid the common mistakes everyone seems to keep making
You'll get frank and honest instruction - stuff you'll never read in the trades or the how-to books - on creating strategy and selling your work from the course speakers, including:
