Instead of spending $10k on film school or $300 on a random class that doesn’t move the needle, this mentorship gives you real-world connections, strategy, and career coaching — from someone who’s living it. Not theory. Real receipts.

You don’t have to be great to start, but you absolutely have to start to be great.
