Are You Stuck Chasing Low-Paying Projects
While Dream Clients Feel Out of Reach?

Does ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • You're putting everything into your client projects, but they barely pay enough to cover your gear or time - while you dream of doing work that actually excites you.


  • You're watching local production companies and colleagues land amazing brand work, while you're stuck shooting another mind-numbing corporate work just to keep the lights on.


  • You're trapped wearing every hat - director, shooter, editor, sales person - but getting paid a fraction of what each role deserves.


  • You know you're capable of more, but breaking into $10,000+ commercial work feels impossible. 


  • Pricing and pitching leave you second-guessing yourself. Are you charging too much? Too little? Meanwhile, clients choose cheaper options, even when you know you could deliver more value.


There's a better way..

There’s a simple but transformative method that filmmakers like you are using to break free from low-paying gigs, showcase their true potential, and land high-budget clients.

It’s the same approach we used to scale our business from $250 barbershop promos to producing six-figure campaigns for brands like Shopify, Lululemon, and Quaker.  


After years of grinding through low-budget projects and struggling to figure out how to break into the commercial world, this was the strategy that finally unlocked the door to high-budget work and long-term career success. This methodology is designed to help you create intentional, career-defining projects that attract premium clients, raise your rates, and build a sustainable filmmaking business. And the best part? You don’t need expensive gear, a huge following, or years of industry connections to get started. With the right guidance, intentional work, and proven systems, you can take control of your career. 

From $200 Gigs to $100K+ Campaigns:
How I Took Control of My Filmmaking Career
Hey, I’m Jason, Commercial Director and Co-Founder of Tenfold Production. 

If you told me a few years ago that I'd be directing for brands like Shell and The Toronto Raptors, 
I wouldn’t have believed you. 

Not because I didn’t want it.. But because I was stuck.  

I was hustling to book $200-$500 gigs. 
Barbershop videos, coffee shop promos, anything that paid.

But no matter how hard I worked, I was barely getting by, and I started to wonder:  

“Is this really what a career in filmmaking looks like?”

I thought working harder or buying better gear would get me noticed, but it didn’t. 
The turning point came when a potential client asked for my reel, and I realized:

• I didn’t have one that reflected the kind of work I wanted.  

• I was waiting for clients to take a chance on me, instead of showing them why they should.

Here’s What Changed Everything

I knew something had to change. 

So I stopped chasing every low-paying gig and started creating spec work.


(Speculative work / Portfolio work) is self-funded projects designed to highlight my skills and showcase the kind of work I wanted to attract as a filmmaker.

It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. 

My first spec project wasn’t perfect, but it showed clients what I was capable of - and it gave me leverage. 

Within 3 years, I went from: 
 - Shooting $200-$500 projects to closing $5,000, $50,000, and even $150,000+ campaigns. 
 
Spec work became my proof of value.

 It wasn’t just practice. It was my way of saying, “This is what I can do for you.” 

Without it, I was hoping clients would take a chance on me. 

With it, I took control of my career.

    WHATS INCLUDED IN 

    CINEMATIC PORTFOLIO MASTERY


    With a step-by-step easy to follow system.

    16 Live Lessons + 8 Q&A Calls with Jason and the Tenfold Team.

    What You’ll Learn:

    What If One Project Could Pay for This Course?

    I get it. Investing in yourself can feel risky. I’ve been there.


    But no one succeeds in filmmaking by staying in their comfort zone.

    They make the right moves at the right time, and this could be your moment.

     Let’s break it down. 

    If you’re currently charging $1,000 for your projects, what happens if you raise that to $2,000? That’s one small shift, doubling your rate for a single project and this cohort has already paid for itself.

     Our students have made even bigger leaps, going from $1,000 projects to $15,000+ gigs in months using these same strategies. 
    For example, Nate F, a CPM student, used what he learned to close a $15K project, making back his investment 7x in a single job.”
    The math speaks for itself.

     And here’s the best part: The tools, frameworks, and mentorship you’ll gain don't just help with one project.

    They position you to consistently attract high-budget clients and build a career you’re proud of. Without wasting time or resources guessing what works.

     This isn’t about spending money. It’s about making the decision to set your career up for exponential growth.
