We are 15 days away from the final quarter of 2026. At the beginning of the year, we make goals, vision boards, and tell ourselves, “I have the whole year to get this done.” Then life happens, and our creative projects slowly get pushed to the background. But you still have time. With that in mind, I want to invite you to join me for an END-OF-YEAR PUSH. The 90-Day EOY Script & Production Accelerator. Starting September 25, 2026, we're going to spend 90 days getting serious about moving your projects forward. Over the 90 days, we'll focus on: - Getting your script on track - Getting your film production on track - Creating realistic writing and production schedules - Breaking your project into manageable steps The 90-Day EOY Script & Production Accelerator begins September 25th inside The StoryTellers Hub. Who's ready to make these final 90 days count? If you have questions or are planning to join, let me know in the comments.
