📌 Welcome to the Sports Filmmaker — Start Here 🎥

Hey everyone —I’m RJ, Sports Emmy Award Winner, founder of this group, and the creator of this program.

I started shooting videos when I was 10 years old. Since then, I’ve filmed for the NBA, WNBA, NHL, Barstool Sports, Wilson, Demarini, Spittin' Chiclets Hockey Podcast, and helped private sports academies scale through content. I’ve built media departments from the ground up, landed $5K–$10K retainers, and worked with athletes on personal branding campaigns that actually generate money.

This Skool isn’t just about how to shoot — it’s about how to make a living doing it.
