Into the Industry Prep
$299/month • Cancel Anytime
Film school teaches the craft—but not how to actually GET HIRED.
Most film grads and actors think they need to make films or act in film and work their way up through freebie sets. But look at anyone working consistently in film—they gained professional-level experience, built relationships, and got on hiring lists.
The problem? No one teaches you HOW to do that. Until now.
I created Into The Industry to give actors and filmmakers the exact step-by-step process to break into the industry through working on professional sets.
Into the Industry Prep is to help get you get started financially and mentally right now.
Why Prep exists: I know $5,000 is a big commitment when you’re not working yet. So Into the Industry Prep gives you the first section of the full program for $299/month so you can start earning, build your Magic List, and decide if you want to continue into the full mentorship.
Fast payoff: Bridge jobs pay roughly $300/day. That means one day on set typically pays for your month in the program. Most Bridge jobs are 2–3 days, so many students earn $600–$900 from their first gigs.
You will meet all these people inside the program.
Xinli
Xinli currently is making $3,000 per month with Bridge jobs in Boston and is now getting paid PA jobs too. She said, “Last month I made $3,000 from just BA events and film gigs. I was so proud of myself. In addition, I still have my 9-5 job”
Lauren
Lauren paid off the $5K program with Bridge jobs and is now a writer and AC on set in LA. She said, “This program gave me the tools I needed to start getting jobs consistently and build on my progress so I can continuously reach out to people, make new connections, get new clients, and get hired by the same people as well. I know how to go to networking events, how to apply to jobs, how to reach out, how to follow up, and how to make the most of every opportunity!”
Christa
Christa is getting Bridge jobs in Calgary and Vancouver. She said, “Nothing else is nearly as adventurous or full of opportunity or fills my creative hunger like this industry. I’ve made $4,980.55 with BA gigs since May this year. 🙌”
