I DON'T WANT TO SELL YOU ANYTHING! I want to be clear on my first post, and the ones that follow. This is your community! You can share, engage, become a moderator...do as you please. Because this space (like Skool) is for you, and NOT to sell to you!!! I'M ALSO GIVING YOU 30% COMMISSION Earn 30% when you invite somebody to MASTER ACADEMY▶️FILM PHOTO ART. https://www.skool.com/master-academy-film-photo-art/about?ref=aef373e531ed4e32a312fa35efecaf1f As my first post I would like all the members of the community to introduce themselves and tell us: 1. What are you working on 2. What is your craft, and feel free to share your link I'll start: Hello I'm Sergio, I just started my jouney here on Skool and I'm sure I'm getting it all wrong (so please forgive me for my errors, I'll do my best to improve). I'm a Creative Director and Director of Photography in the industry of media and entertainment. 1. I'm working on a travel series that will be distribute worldwide on major VOD. The previous series won over 11 awards (and counting), for best documentary, best colour, best sound.. etc 2. My crafts are cinematography, photography, editing, design... and if you have time please enjoy Æternum Mentis 🔥🔥🔥 IMPORTANT NOTE 🔥🔥🔥 While we do like the chatting and the connection that we will be making here on Master Academy and on other communities. But these are moments of connection and not of growth. Imagine that you are at university and you are in the hall, having fun, planning the next wild part at the frat house (this is the chat in the community), this is great. You get points, stars, likes, flames 🔥 and all the fun stuff. But it is in the classrooms that you acquire the knowledge. Here You will learn all you need to know to start your own business. How to register the business. How to create a storyline for your movie. Learn DaVinci Resolve, Affininty, WIX, WordPress, and so much more.

IMPORTANT‼️ I am not a hater. Please do not take this message in the wrong way. I am a builder. My "claim of fame" is to be the best Strategic Brand Developer, and my goal here on Skool is to give all I know, learned, and how I got out of the pitfalls, to YOU. YES, ...YOU. Maybe I am getting this "Skool" thing wrong, but if I must compare it to a School or a University, I feel like there is too much chatter. Too many notifications that have nothing to do with my personal improvement, nor with the advancing of my courses, not even with me learning. It seems that everyone is in the halls of the school, chatting, but never learning...this is a waste! SO I AM USING IT WRONG❓ Too many experts on how to "make a community" but what are we teaching in these communities. Too many experts on how to "get rich" and giving stats on MRR and how successful they are, but not much substance in their classes (again, this is justmy opinion, so please do not feel offended, as I am entitled to mine as you are entitled to yours, and I will respect your and fight for your opinion even if this is different from mine). WHAT I WILL DO❗ I will back down from what I believe give YOU no value. Endless generic chats that do not help YOU become a better Designer, Photographer, Artist, Cinematographer, Video Editor, and Web Designer. Y E S, because if I focus on creating VALUE for you, you are going to understand my point of view. Let's get going on studying together; getting your brand validated and secured worldwide; understand copyright and how to protect your brand legally; how to create your designs and make them worthy of award-winning prizes and recognition... ...LET US FOCUS ON MAKING YOU A MASTER. No, this is not a cheesy line. This is the truth. My focus will be to get the best of the best of Master Academy to be HIRED* and work on REAL projects, Movies, Real Productions, Books, Magazines, and much more. So I apologize if I back down from the chatter, and start giving you the best courses that I am capable of. I will be recording videos and step-by-step tasks to get you as FAST AS POSSIBLE in creating and establishing YOUR BRAND.

Awards in the film industry are strange things. From the outside, they look like trophies, titles, applause, photographs under stage lights. But privately, quietly, they become something else entirely. Permission. Not from the industry. From yourself. Because filmmaking is built on uncertainty. Every project begins in darkness. Every frame is a risk. Every decision carries doubt somewhere beneath it, even for the people who appear fearless. Then one day, a film connects. A jury sees it. An audience feels it. Your name is called. And for a brief moment, the years of obsession, sacrifice, sleepless nights, failed edits, abandoned projects, rejection, and self-doubt suddenly become real. Tangible. Seen. The award itself is not the point.What matters is what happens after. You begin to believe in yourself and your skills. You begin aiming higher. Dreaming bigger. Pitching projects you once thought were beyond your reach. Not because arrogance replaced humility, but because somewhere deep inside, a quiet voice finally whispers: “Maybe I belong here after all.” The feeling of being not-good-enough is always there...but sometimes we have a way to listen to our inner voice and have that leap of faith.
