The Investorless Feature Film Course is Live Inside the Community Alright, filmmakers — this is the big one. The full Investorless Feature Film course (aka The Indie Film Flywheel) is now live in the Classroom tab. If you’ve been serious about making your first feature — without waiting for permission, investors, or “someday” — this is the step-by-step roadmap you’ve been looking for. Why you should take it (right now): 🎯 Clarity: Learn the only replicable career strategy that works for actors, writers, and directors — making a small, personal feature with the resources you already have. 🔥 Speed: Cut years of trial-and-error and get from idea → finished film faster than you thought possible. 📈 Momentum: Build a career flywheel where every film fuels the next — bigger audience, better collaborators, and more opportunities each time. 🚫 No Fundraising Required: Avoid the endless investor hunt. This approach is designed to keep you creating now, not waiting. 🤝 Collaboration: Learn how to attract the right collaborators without begging or chasing — and why the right people will want to work with you. 💡 Proven Examples: See how filmmakers like Greta Gerwig, Christopher Nolan, Robert Rodriguez, and Sean Baker used this exact principle to break into the industry. Plus, there’s a $500 reward if you finish in 5 days. This isn’t just a gimmick. I want to keep this community lean and full of action-takers. If you finish on time, you’ll unlock a filmmaking tool I’ve only shared with my private clients. This course is $1, but will be sold online for $47. Just to find filmmakers that are serious. 👉 Go to the Classroom tab now and click “Investorless Feature Film” to begin. Let’s get that first film in the can. – AJ Rome

Assignment #1: Will I use this strategy? I think I will. The strategy feels like its given me a roadmap and a reason. Assignment #2: If yes, what are my 3 biggest roadblocks? If not, what are the reasons? 3 biggest roadblocks 1. I'm stretching myself ridiculously thin. I wasn't even sure that I was gonna keep trying to make anything film related this year. 2. I have some seriously bad anxiety when it comes to looking for people to help me with these kinds of things. 3. Fear has basically been what's held me back my entire career. I nervous that I will overthink like crazy and destroy any momentum.

Assignment #1: My biggest takeaway is I could have done this years ago. This doesn't sound like an impossible task to accomplish just daunting in the idea. That's why they always tell you to go for short films first. Assignment #2: My biggest concern/challenge is that I'll get too scared to follow through and will over think my way out of committing fully to the project. I'm concerned I'll excuse gaslight myself out of even trying.

1. What’s one “Lottery System” you’ve tried? 2. I tried an internship. I found a filmmaker, offered to work for free. 3. What did it cost you (money, time, energy)? 4. It cost me, time, money, energy, 3 years, and then I stumbled at the finish line. 5. What’s your biggest takeaway from this video? 6. I need to start investing in myself more and be willing to try something new. 7. What is your biggest concern? 8. I'm Afraid that I won't follow through, that I'll stumble at the finish line again, and that I'll give up.
