Special Offer

For the first 25 students who enroll, I’m throwing in a free 1:1 strategy session. This is the number one thing I get asked for, and these slots will go very fast. You can use this time to get specific on your project pitch, develop a funding strategy, or anything else in your creative career that you could use my help with.

Why I made this course

  • With Professionals in mind

    From my years as an Arts Commissioner and head of my own production company, I’ve noticed that professional artists, filmmakers, theatre practitioners, musicians all have the same negative belief systems when it comes to creating and financing their own work. This course is aimed at inspiring and breathing new life into the careers of professional creatives, offering a new perspective and set of tools you didn’t know you had.

  • With Students in mind

    There’s a huge gap in what’s taught at universities to students in the arts. This course is a good start when it comes to filling that gap. The key principles you will experience and learn in this course are what I believe all creative people should know before they enter the profession or start creating their own work.
