About

So you want to be a film maker? Great – Lets help you do it fast.

You are not alone. There are CEO’s, IT professionals, Engineers, Doctors, Airline Pilots and almost every type of professional who is a little ‘over the day job’ and with a comfortable life is now looking to fulfil that creative desire that you most likely put to one side 20 or more years ago to ‘get a proper job’

Now you have reached a level of success in your chosen profession you want to dedicate more time to film making and endulging your creative side

Sound Familiar?

I’m guessing you’ve spent over £10k on gear and have more than likely watched a few days worth of online content and it’s quite possible you are a little confused by some of the conflicting ‘advice’ that is out there.

The film making community is very generous but wading through the vast majority of blogs and film making sites, it’s hard to tell which ones actually run by full time professional film makers.

If you are going to invest time and valuable resources into learning something then you want to make sure the person teaching has actually not just left school/college and is still figuring out stuff themselves- despite how socially active they might be.

As a professional you have likely spent the 10,000 hrs to master your chosen career.

Well I have too. At the last count I’ve shot over 3500 interviews in 50 countries – I’ve shot A List celebrities, The Royal Family, drama, short films, Live Tv, Music videos, commercials, travel, sport, documentaries, news, current affairs, politics… so I tell you this not to brag, but to reassure you that what I teach is from the trenches.

Real world knowledge and experience that you can directly benefit from and use as your own resource.
