WEEKLY LECTURES

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

Weekly lectures last anywhere from 1 to 2+ hours and are all conducted by the Instructor. Each lecture is broken up into multiple 5 - 10 minute multimedia video segments. This is not a “show-and-tell” class which parades in guest speakers who spend class time talking about themselves. There is an agenda to this course which has been empowering students since 2011. Every second of class time has a narrowly defined goal – to empower you in ways never before possible.

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

THE ULTIMATE GOAL

The ultimate goal of this course is ambitious: to level the playing field in Hollywood by teaching essential skills and sharing invaluable knowledge which, until now, has only been known by a select few – creating an unprecedented degree of transparency in the industry, forever transforming it as a result. And, if you are represented by a lawyer, you will be able to communicate your needs with sophistication, efficiency and depth – turning you into an active participant in your career, strengthening your relationships and empowering you as a result.
