If you’re a makeup artist, hair stylist, fashion stylist, special effects makeup artist or consultant looking to generate more bookings in the film and television industry while creating more money in your biz, then you probably already know that you need to understand the business side of film and television.

 

So I’ll be straight up with you. I’m not here for fluff. I don’t need the ego boost and I don’t need to convince you of something that you know would be good for you and has already been hinting at you deep in your mind (and possibly wallet).

After all, you probably already KNOW that getting BOOKED in film and television is the key tipping point that will allow you to leverage your time, travel the world, and be in demand so that you can stop discounting your fees and suffering the costs of your kit supply fees.

You’ve probably also heard that the film industry is at an all time high and growing with companies, networks, organizations and individuals spending billions on production including broadcast, network, cable and web shows.

Here’s the rub

It’s not who you know and it’s not a matter of luck. By knowing the inside scoop on the behind the scenes in film and television you can:

Command Higher Fees

Even if you’re currently pulling in $3,000-$4,000 every weekend doing weddings (like I used to), once you have a foot in the door in film and television, your notoriety in the industry will skyrocket, which allows you to ask for, and get, higher hourly and daily fees.

Significantly boost your stability

Being in the roster of available talent in your region makes you the go-to person when Hollywood and independent productions come knocking. The schedule is typically from a few weeks to a few months, so you no longer have to live gig-to-gig like before.

Generate consistent, reliable bookings (cha-ching$)

Being a part of the film and television industry give you the opportunity travel anywhere in the world, or be a day player and stay in your back yard. You no longer have to rope yourself to the hustle, or be a starving artist waiting for the next gig to come around (or worse, waiting for last week’s gig to pay up). Instead you can predict your cash flow and know week to week and month to month that you have work. That means you don’t have to wonder where your next paycheck is coming from.

READY TO LAUNCH A NEW CAREER? AWESOME.

But where to start?

If there’s anything I’ve learned it’s that some people say they want something, but are not committed to putting in the work, and some people show they want something by putting in the work! Even with the best intentions a lot of people just don’t follow through, even when it’s written in the sky and all signs point them in the right direction.

Here’s why most people abandon their dreams:

• Some people invest in everything and everyone, but themselves
• Some people need a step-by-step plan
• Some people think they don’t have time, or it’s too late for them
• Some people fall victim to “other people’s opinions”

And the lack of qualified artists in the industry is why I created this course.

Plus, the fact is, almost every damn day I get someone on set asking me why they can’t find anyone else like me to work in Atlanta, or L.A. or on the production down the street right here in Chicago.

Instead, they go without (leaving money that someone could be earning on the table), or they ask me to put in overtime, or they fly someone in from Timbuktu, and honestly, it pisses me off sometimes because I KNOW there are great makeup artists and hair stylists every where, and there is enough work for all of us, but the truth is, folks ain’t ready.

Folks ain’t prepared.

It’s not about how many colors of foundation you have in your bag.

Or that you just did “baby girl” for her music video, or wedding, or conference, or whatever

It’s about knowing who is hiring, why they hire, and how to be, say and do on set.

That’s it.

But until you’re behind the scenes, or closely knit with someone who is behind the scenes every day (like me) then you stay in the dark, I bust my ass, and eventually I need to cover said ass.

So here’s the elephant in the room that no one else is talking about

Even though visual artistry is growing by leaps and bounds due to social media and everyone wanting to “see” something new every day…

Only a few people will get a seat at the table, while others get the crumbs

And to no fault of their own, the reason for this is that everyone is so busy making stuff happen they just haven’t went to the door you’ve been knocking on to open it up and let you in

Until now.

And once you get that foot in the door as long as you know how to show up and perform, not only does it stay open, but they will eventually give you the key to let yourself in.

It’s like having a time share of opportunity that you can just grab access to whenever you want.

The key to all this, of course, is knowing the way to and through, the door.

And with your permission, that’s exactly what I’d LOVE to do and create for you.
