Title: 4. The ROADMAP Assignment Assignment #1: Will I use this strategy? I'm considering making my feature film but have to brainstorm some ideas on what this looks like. Assignment #2: If yes, what are my 3 biggest roadblocks? If not, what are the reasons? My time is gridlocked right now in this season so making a film right now is hard. I'm slated for other projects that came first so I have to rotate this in next year. I'm a stage performer and have yet to learn filmmaking in class. Category: Assignments

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

Title: 3. The TRUTH Assignment Assignment #1: My biggest takeaway is that I can do this myself. Assignment #2: My biggest concern/challenge is what is the profit margin on your movies when you do them yourselves. It's great to get started but if you are funding your own movie the percentage you make back is important too. Category: Assignments
