"Is it too early for me to use this?"


Hey Reader

Since its launch on Thursday, ~6 new filmmakers have joined the Cinematic Portfolio Mastery Cohort Course to start transforming their creative careers.

That's the goal! Cinematic Portfolio Mastery Cohort Course is specifically designed to:

  • Help you understand your creative north star
  • Teach you to create videos that sell
  • Raise your rates

I received a question from one potential student yesterday (they did end up enrolling) that I wanted to share with you.

He shared some context on his experience and then asked:

"I wanted to ask if you think it makes sense for me to sign up now, given where I'm at in my career, or if I'd get more value by waiting a bit." Here's what I told him...

Cinematic Portfolio Mastery is a foundational course. Sincerely, the SOONER you start learning and applying these principles, the better – because it will grow with you. It’s not difficult to integrate these techniques into your existing projects, but it's a lot easier to START here.

So there is no "too early" for this course (other than budget concerns). In fact, I WISH I had this when I started. It's taken me years of experience to develop this – and I'm using these techniques every day!

Sorry, what is Cinematic Portfolio Mastery again? Cinematic Portfolio Mastery is a comprehensive 5-week course for filmmakers of all levels, focusing on creating portfolio work that sells. It’s literally the system I use to create compelling videos that attract clients and increase rates.

We provide a full self paced curriculum on Creative ideation, Pre-production, Production, Post Production and Marketing and branding, that you gain lifetime access too.

This isn't just another filmmaking course. It's a deep dive into the strategies and techniques that make your work stand out and sell.

It includes modules on:

  • Understanding your creative north star
  • Storytelling and narrative building
  • Filmmaking techniques
  • Production Workflows
  • Marketing your portfolio
  • Client communication and negotiation
  • Pricing strategies to raise your rates
  • and much more!

It’s been battle-tested. We've been using these methods ourselves to get us from $500 projects to now selling over $150,000+ projects.

This will serve you for YEARS – because Cinematic Portfolio Mastery grows with you. It works for solo creators and is also built for team collaboration.

Don't forget, you also will gain access to our Private Members Group where you'll be surrounded by like-minded filmmakers all going through the same course.

For this first Cohort Course, we will only be taking in 50 Founding Members (44 remaining spots as of this email) to provide the most intimate and dialled in experience for our students.

Cheers, Jason

I remember it like it was yesterday. After wanting to make some changes in my business, I was at home thinking: "I don't really want to call myself a videographer anymore, cause I really want to be a director. But.... if I put that I'm a director in my bio, I don't even have the work to show for it. I'm a fraud". Does any of this sound familiar at all? It's a constant battle between identities. I didn't even know what "filmmaking" really meant. Were the barbershop videos I was shooting...
