Intro­duc­ing My Brand New
14-Week Film­maker Boot Camp

Deliv­ered by Email in 14 Weekly Lessons
or study-at-your-own-pace Home Study Program

I will teach you step-by-step how to make films that make money, gain access to cap­i­tal, find rep­re­sen­ta­tion, secure dis­tri­b­u­tion, expand your net­work and build rela­tion­ships, cre­ate vis­i­bil­ity for your­self, and increase your opportunities.

Imag­ine Your Life If…

• You suc­cess­fully pro­duced your first film.

• You got financ­ing lined up for your film.

• You got your film dis­trib­uted and made a nice profit.

• You got an agent who really believed in you and your talent.

• You didn’t have to work a 9-to-5 and could just con­cen­trate on your career.

• “Hol­ly­wood” was return­ing your phone calls.

How Would Your Life Be Different?

I’m in the career-building busi­ness!
My objec­tive is to teach you how to move quickly from
where you are to where you want to be. To get real results.

Dear Friend,

If you are inter­ested in rad­i­cally chang­ing the course of your film­mak­ing career… then this is going to be the most excit­ing mes­sage you’ll ever read.

Here’s why: I just wrapped a 14-week Film­maker Group Coach­ing Pro­gram with 10 film­mak­ers where I cov­ered just about every­thing a film­maker needs to know to take their career to the next level.  The pro­gram was fan­tas­tic!  And now its avail­able to you as a home study program.

Imag­ine being able to make your film so attrac­tive to financiers they actu­ally invest. Wouldn’t that be great? Or what if you could get your script read by the right peo­ple and secure effec­tive rep­re­sen­ta­tion? Imag­ine being able to gain access to agents, man­agers, pro­duc­ers, and exec­u­tives. It truly is pos­si­ble, but you need to know how. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it isn’t. If you have the right tech­niques, tools, and resources,  you can actu­ally make films that make money, gain access to cap­i­tal, find rep­re­sen­ta­tion, secure dis­tri­b­u­tion, expand your net­work, build rela­tion­ships, cre­ate vis­i­bil­ity for your­self, and increase your opportunities.

Let me ask you some questions…

• Is it con­fus­ing try­ing to fig­ure out how to gain access, get to the right peo­ple, ‘get in the game,’ and cre­ate income?

• Do you have a hard time get­ting agents, man­agers and pro­duc­ers to respond to you…to your projects, queries, phone calls, and emails?

• Would it be valu­able to learn how to unlock doors,and cre­ate mean­ing­ful con­ver­sa­tions and relationships,all with sim­ple strate­gies that take very lit­tle time?

Mak­ing a liv­ing as a film­maker isn’t easy.…Especially if you don’t have the money, peo­ple, resources and tools. It takes many film­mak­ers years and costs them a small for­tune to fig­ure out how to build a suc­cess­ful career as a film­maker — while oth­ers fall flat on their face. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Suc­cess is about smart tac­tics, smart use of your pre­cious time, and learn­ing laser-like focus on strate­gies that increase your effec­tive­ness and results.

This is what some had to say about this program:

“Through my coach­ing ses­sions, I gained an ency­clo­pe­dia of tools. Prac­ti­cal tools to increase suc­cess. This coach­ing ses­sion was like gold. In a very short time I felt like a pro­fes­sional and had a plan for under­stand­ing this com­plex indus­try that can be full of close doors. I gained insight on how to open the doors. thanks Tanya !
- Daniel Lir, writer/director/producer, Dolce Films

“This pro­gram has opened my eyes on how to approach the film­mak­ing not only from a cre­ative per­spec­tive, but from a busi­ness one as well. Ms Kersey’s pro­gram is a must take for the seri­ous film­maker. And the thing I like best is that Ms. Kersey really cares about your suc­cess and pro­vides var­i­ous ways to help ensure that.”
- Ger­ald G. Haynes, Haynes Enter­tain­ment

“Tanya’s group film­mak­ing pro­gram was an eye-opening expe­ri­ence for me. It cov­ered every­thing from the devel­op­ment phase to post-production, to dis­tri­b­u­tion. Thanks to Tanya and her coach­ing, I’ve learned to be patient with build­ing my career in Hol­ly­wood, while actively tak­ing strate­gic steps towards reach­ing my goals. It’s not an easy process mak­ing it in Hol­ly­wood, but with deter­mi­na­tion and proper guid­ance, you can achieve any­thing. You can’t go wrong with Tanya’s coach­ing, unless you’re just plain ole-hardheaded.” — David “Dino” Wells Jr.

“I was blessed to dis­cover Tanya’s resources at the time that I did. Embark­ing on the path of a screen­writer, I had writ­ten many specs but felt my career had stalled out before it even really began. Under her tute­lage, I was able to get back on the path and soar. I now have my career team in place and am mere steps away from where I want to be instead of the light years I was before I was intro­duced to Tanya Kersey.”
- Jaz­men Dar­nell Brown

Take a moment to eval­u­ate your­self. Do any of these sound like you?

• I keep mak­ing films that don’t make money or get distribution.

• I’ve got great ideas, but no way to fund them.

• I’ve made sev­eral films, but they haven’t taken me to the next level.

• I’ve invested so much in my films and career and haven’t got­ten a good return on my investment.

• I’m just begin­ning in the busi­ness and I don’t know where or how to start.

• I don’t know how to effec­tively mar­ket and sell my prod­uct (script, movie) or myself.

• I need to build a net­work of con­tacts and col­leagues, but don’t know how.

• I feel frus­trated with my career progress.

• I’m not going to achieve my goals if I keep doing what I’m doing.

• I know what I want, but I need a results-oriented plan and strat­egy to get there.

• I’m stuck in a rut. I’ve been some­what suc­cess­ful and now I want to advance my career and move to the next level.

• I want to close the gap between where I am now and where I want to be.

• I don’t have the busi­ness skills equal to my cre­ative tal­ents. I need to be able to com­mu­ni­cate to the oth­ers what I bring to the table.

The Film­maker Boot Camp Format…

The pro­gram for­mat is a one-hour audio les­son (MP3), deliv­ered to you via email, weekly, for 14 con­sec­u­tive weeks, OR get the com­plete home study pro­gram — 14 CDs and work­book -  and accel­er­ate your learn­ing by study­ing at your own pace.

You get …

• 14 hours of instruc­tion which you can lis­ten to again and again to review what you’ve learned and install new suc­cess­ful habits.

• Weekly work­sheets and home­work to keep you account­able and mov­ing forward.

• Resource lists to refer to every step of the way.

The invest­ment…

The cost? The pro­gram is priced at $397 but if you reg­is­ter RIGHT NOW, I’m offer­ing an INTRODUCTORY SPECIAL FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS of just $297 for the entire 14-week boot camp pro­gram. That’s a drop in the bucket com­pared to the knowl­edge, tools, and tac­tics you’ll gain and learn. If you’ve already invested time and money to go nowhere in your career, set­ting your­self on the path to suc­cess for $297 should be a no-brainer.

Alright, already! Tell me how to order

Before I tell you how to order, I’m also offer­ing you a BONUS!

I’m going to give you a big chunk of my time by offer­ing 30 days of email sup­port… for 30 days you can shoot me your ques­tions and I’ll help you. Read­ing your mes­sages and com­mu­ni­cat­ing back and forth over the next 30 days could eas­ily add up to 3 hours or more of my time. I charge $150 an hour for con­sult­ing, so this bonus is worth $450 by itself.

But I’m not stop­ping there. If you order WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS, you’ll also get a 15-minute phone/webcam coach­ing ses­sion which is designed to accel­er­ate your career suc­cess and help you quickly inte­grate all the amaz­ing strate­gies you’ve learned.
