Read This Before You Decide

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Only 2 days to go before Zero to Hero starts! Over the last few days, I've gotten a number of different questions, so I thought, rather than repeating the answer over and over, let's cover them here - in case you were wondering the same thing!

Here are my rapid-fire answers to the questions I get most:

1) Do I need experience?​
No. Zero to Hero is built for beginners (and writers looking for a solid refresher). I’ll teach format, structure, and simple workflows - along with plenty of great examples.

2) What if I don’t have the perfect idea for a script yet?​
​You don’t need one. Week 2 turns sparks into a workable concept. We'll figure it out together!

3) What if I fall behind?​
Assignments are small and focused. Miss a session? You’ll get access to the entire recorded session in your inbox, and full support from me and the rest of the students in our private group.

4) Will my first draft be any good?​
First drafts are supposed to be messy. The win is finishing. By the time week 12 rolls around, we'll have gone over your work many times. The rewrites are where the real fun starts!

5) Is this live or pre-recorded?​
​Live every week for 12 weeks. Small group. Hands-on coaching.

Want to finally stop guessing and start writing with confidence? This is your moment.

We start Sunday, Sept 21 @ 2pm MST.

Hi Reader, Over the past few weekends, we’ve had the absolute joy of watching Contamination play to sold-out crowds in multiple cities. Some folks even came back for a second round - bringing friends with them. That, to me, is the ultimate compliment. When someone enjoys a movie enough to share it, that says everything. In a time when fewer and fewer movies seem to invite repeat viewings, it made me think: What are we doing right that so many bigger films are missing? Why is “rewatchability”...

Hi Reader, This past weekend, we split up our Contamination team to cover not one, but two cities - and it was unforgettable. While my co-director David Heacock and I travelled to Calgary for our latest round of screenings at Landmark Cinemas, members of our cast and crew were holding it down in Edmonton for the extended run there. It was surreal watching audiences respond to the film in two different cities at once - and just as incredible to see the continued support for this wild little...

Hi Reader, This past weekend was one I’ll never forget. Contamination, our indie action feature, had its official theatrical premiere right here in my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, through Landmark Cinemas - and what happened next went far beyond anything we expected. Over the course of three days, we sold out four of our six screenings. Not only that, but Landmark Cinemas announced they’re extending our Edmonton run for a second weekend, with six more screenings added! These will run in...
