From Short Film to F1: Lessons from Joseph Kosinski's Self-Investment.
Investing in yourself is the ultimate career hack. When you believe in your vision enough to create something - even on the side, even without guaranteed success - you open doors that might never have existed. Joseph Kosinski didn't wait for permission; he made a CGI short in his apartment, submitted it to festivals, and that single act of creative courage launched his entire career. His journey proves that investing in YOURSELF, developing your unique POINT OF VIEW, and then putting your work out into the world can transform everything. Don't just dream about your creative potential - invest in it, showcase it, and trust that your distinctive voice will find its audience.

That Time Val Kilmer Took Us Camping.
Val Kilmer was more than a movie star—he was a father, a poet, an actor, and an enigma. But above all, he was a generous soul who deeply understood the importance of creating meaningful moments. When our sons were in grade school together, Val invited my family on an unforgettable camping trip to his sprawling ranch in New Mexico. Every activity he planned was designed to build lasting memories for all of us. But this isn’t just a story about a weekend in the wilderness—it's a tribute to a man whose heart was every bit as extraordinary as his performances on screen.

Born of a chat Michael and I were having, he said, "while it's good to know the difference between 24mm and 70mm lenses and have a rich friend who is also a movie star, it doesn't matter if you can't define and explore your vision." Your vision is the center of everything, and without it, you have no project. What is your vision, and how does that vision make the journey from your heart to the screen? What are you trying to say? How do you communicate that? This class is about figuring out how master filmmakers have answered these questions and put their vision on the screen... and, most importantly, how you can do this as well.

Micro Steps to Macro Progress: Tiny Assignments for Filmmakers.
Welcome our newest sponsor: - the best commercial directing courses on the planet. Thanks to all that have supported the victims of these horrific LA fires. My family is safe, but countless friends and colleagues have lost their homes. We're doing a fund-raising webcast called with filmmaker Michael Patrick Jann (Award-Winning Writer/Director/Producer "Organ Trail", "Drop Dead Gorgeous", "The State" Founding Member) and myself moderating. 100% of the proceeds are donated to Red Cross LA. This is a great collab between and the , who will host. Special pop-in guests: Cami Delavigne (Screenwriter/Producer "Blue Valentine" "Homecoming" "American Gigolo") David Wain (Writer/Actor/Director "Wet Hot American Summer" Trilogy "Children's' Hospital") Thomas Lennon (Comic/Actor/Screenwriter "Night At The Museum" "Reno 911!" "Balls Of Fury") Tiny Goals This epsiode is just me: I want to share my approach to using "tiny assignments" to make steady progress on your filmmaking goals. I'm a big believer in breaking down big ambitions into manageable micro-steps. Why not try writing just one sentence per day on that screenplay? Or dedicate time each week to analyze a favorite commercial - study the techniques, the editing, the performance. Anchoring these tiny habits to your daily routine, tracking your progress, and celebrating small wins can lead to major breakthroughs. I provide examples across writing, directing, and networking. The key is to embrace an incremental approach. Don't get bogged down by lofty dreams - focus on the micro-steps you can consistently take. Trust me, those tiny assignments will add up and fuel your creative growth. It's all about taking that first small step. So let's get to work on making micro-progress towards your filmmaking goals!
