Cinematic Portfolio Mastery Cohort Round 3 WAITLIST JUNE 2025

1. You’re caught between potential and proof.

You know you’re capable of more but your current portfolio doesn’t show it. You’ve done decent work, but it still feels like you’re stuck in limbo: too good for $500 gigs, not yet positioned for $10K+ jobs. You’re not lacking talent. You’re lacking a spec project that proves it.

2. You’ve tried making spec work before and it flopped.

You had a vision. You shot something you cared about. But it didn’t land the way you hoped. It looked off. It didn’t feel like real commercial work. You’re done with winging it and hoping it resonates. You want real guidance: how to plan, execute, and pitch spec work that actually converts.

3. You’re done piecing it together alone.

You’re not here for shortcuts, you’re here for structure, accountability, and real results. You want to build something intentional. Something you’re proud to show. You’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and finally take the leap into high-level commercial filmmaking.

4. You’ve outgrown your old reel and you know it.

Weddings, influencers, branded content… you’ve done it all. But that work isn’t getting you in the room with real clients. You’re tired of editing around your gaps. You’re ready to reposition, rebuild, and stand out in a way that finally feels aligned with your ambitions.

You’ve got the skills. The taste. The hunger. So why does your portfolio still feel like it’s holding you back? Most filmmakers trying to level up hit the same wall, because no one ever taught them how to package their talent. Here’s what that looks like:

1. Your Work Looks Good But It Doesn’t Sell You

You’ve shot decent projects. You know your way around a camera.

But when someone asks: “Got a reel?“, your portfolio doesn’t scream premium. You send a mismatched group of videos and call it a "reel", hoping the client will "get it".

But it doesn’t close deals and it doesn’t get you in the room.

2. You’re Stuck in Busy Work That Pays Little and Proves Nothing

Socials, recaps, random promos.

You’re constantly shooting but none of it is leading anywhere.

You’re booked, but not building.

3. You’ve Tried Spec Work... and It Fell Flat

You’ve made personal projects before, but they didn’t feel commercial-grade.

They didn’t feel like something an agency or brand would hire off of.

And deep down, you knew it.

4. You Think Like a Technician, Not a Leading Director or Cinematographer

You know how to shoot. But you’re not leading with strategy.

Not showing you understand the brand’s vision or business goal.

And that’s the invisible line between “freelancer” and “trusted creative partner.”

5. You’ve Got Endless Ideas But Nothing Finished

You’re sitting on Google Docs, treatment decks, voice notes, moodboards…

But no finished project you’re proud to show.

The dream is there. The execution is missing.

6. You’re Scared to Go All-In on Something Bigger

You know what you want to make but it feels risky.

What if you miss? What if it doesn’t land?

Or worse… what if it does, and you can’t repeat it?

7. You Don’t Have a System, Just Hope

You’re throwing darts in the dark, hoping one hits.

Hoping a client sees your potential. Hoping something takes off.

But hope isn’t a strategy. It’s stalling.

Cinematic Portfolio Mastery fixes all of it.

Inside Cinematic Portfolio Mastery, we don’t give you tips. We walk you step-by-step through building one strategic, polished spec project that finally shows the world what you’re capable of. And how to repeat it over and over. So you stop spinning, start leading and build the kind of portfolio that gets you hired.

The biggest mistake filmmakers make?

Waiting. Waiting for the perfect client to notice them. Waiting for a referral. Waiting for “someday.”

But here’s the truth:

No one is coming to discover you.

If you want real clients, real budgets, and real momentum, you don’t wait. You build the project that demands attention. That’s how I landed my first $50K brand job. Not because I was “known.” Because I created a spec project so strategic, so polished, it made people look twice.

This isn’t about being lucky. It’s about being intentional.

Here’s the second mistake:

Thinking a slick reel equals a portfolio.

You shoot some bangers. Cut a tight edit. Add music. Add transitions. It looks great… to other filmmakers. But brands don’t hire you for style, they hire you for clarity.

Can you direct a story that sells a product? Can you translate a brand’s identity into visuals that actually connect? Can you show you understand business, not just b-roll? That’s the leap from freelancer to commercial directors and cinematographers.

Cinematic Portfolio Mastery helps you make it.

The last (and deadliest) mistake?

Posting and praying.

You make something you love, post it with a clever caption, and… wait.

For validation. For likes.

For something to happen. But work doesn’t land high-paying clients by accident. It lands them when it’s positioned to.

Every project you make should serve a purpose:

Who’s it for? What kind of work should it attract? How does it build leverage for the next level?

That’s what we teach inside Cinematic Portfolio Mastery. Not just how to create a spec that looks good… But how to make one that works harder than you do.

Most filmmakers stay stuck not because they lack talent but because their portfolio doesn’t prove their value.

Cinematic Portfolio Mastery fixes that.

Over 6 weeks, you’ll work directly with Jason in a structured cohort experience to build a single spec project that transforms your reel, positions you for premium clients, and gives you undeniable proof you belong in the commercial world. This is not a course you binge and forget. It’s a tactical blueprint for real execution. With live coaching, strategic feedback, and a supportive community holding you to the highest standard.

4 Masterclasses, $4,000 Value

Each masterclass gives you the tools, templates, and creative clarity to confidently plan, shoot, and pitch a high-level spec piece, start to finish.

You’re a total beginner who just picked up a camera and haven’t shot real client work yet.

You’re already a seasoned director or DP with multiple spec projects under your belt and just need marketing help.

You’re looking for passive “tips and tricks” instead of committing to serious execution.

You’re not willing to carve out 6 weeks to finally build the portfolio piece your career needs.

You want results without putting in the reps—this isn’t a hack, it’s a system that demands your best work.

Enter your bullet points here..

You’ve done freelance work: weddings, content shoots, branded videos, but you know you’re capable of way more.

You’re stuck in $500–$2,500 gigs and want to confidently charge $10K+.

You’ve tried to create spec work on your own, but it never hit the level you wanted. It felt more like a “passion project” than something a brand would actually hire you for.

You’re not lacking talent, you’re lacking positioning, polish, and proof.

You have filmmaker friends or collaborators nearby but haven’t learned how to truly leverage that access.

You want structure, not guesswork. Mentorship, not isolation.

You’re ready to stop hoping someone discovers you and start building the project that forces them to notice.

Enter your bullet points here..

Cinematic Portfolio Mastery was built for the in-between filmmaker:

Too good to be stuck in cheap, uninspiring work.
Not yet positioned to charge like a commercial director.
You have experience. You’ve got a camera. You’ve shot for clients before.

But your portfolio doesn’t reflect the kind of work you want to get hired for.

We help you fix that by guiding you to create career-defining spec projects with our repeatable Spec Conversion System that transforms how you’re seen, what you can charge, and who takes your call.
