Welcome to One Grand Filmmakers 👋 🎉 In this community, I'll show you how I turned a $1,000 feature film into 3 more features, a full-time career in filmmaking, and relationships with the biggest names and platforms in the industry. But first... Please, introduce yourself :) (EXTRA CREDIT: Like 5 other posts, and welcome other filmmakers to the community as well!) Let's goooooo! 🚀

My biggest takeaway is: seeing how many directors, writer/directors and actors that I admire have ‘gone it alone’ to make their first movie. That’s something I have always wanted to JUST DO. My biggest concern/challenge is: Distribution!

1. What’s one “Lottery System” you’ve tried? - I’ve probably tried them all! Sad, but true… very much trying anything and everything and not getting that far. 2. What did it cost you (money, time, energy)? Lots of Energy… and for someone with a number of fatigue inducing medical conditions, that really is a killer! 3. What’s your biggest takeaway from this video: That I can do this myself!

I’m collecting some short video testimonials to show what the One Grand Film experience is really like — through your eyes. Whether you’ve taken a course, joined a challenge, been on a mastermind call, or just soaked up lessons in this community — I’d love to hear what you’ve learned and how it’s impacted you. 👉 If you send me a short video testimonial, I’ll send you a link to book a free 1-on-1 Zoom call with me. We can talk about your current project, strategy, career next steps — whatever will help you most. What to include in your video (roughly 1 min is perfect): 🎬 Who are you? (Name, what kind of filmmaker you are, where you’re at in your journey) 🎬 Why did you join or participate in One Grand Film? (What were you hoping to solve?) 🎬 What did you learn or take away? 🎬 What was your experience like working with AJ? 🎬 How do you view filmmaking differently now? 🎬 Anything else you’d want someone considering One Grand Film to know? How this works: ✅ Record your video (selfie-style, simple + authentic is great — don’t stress perfection) ✅ Upload it (Google Drive, Dropbox, or DM me the file) ✅ Once I receive it, I’ll send you the 1-on-1 call booking link If you’re in, drop a quick “I’m in” below — and I’ll DM you with the simple next steps. Thank you in advance — your stories will inspire a lot of filmmakers who need to hear them. — AJ
