Your New Career Changes Everything

Yes, it certainly can. Most of our students either have no experience, or have had experience that didn’t take them anywhere professionally. They have usually received that experience from film schools and other prestigious academies, but didn’t know what to do with it.

The thing is — building a professional career doesn’t magically happen without you deciding you are going to work on your set knowledge, communication, and quiet confidence (how you respond to conflict and stress). In A-list, you are truly doing it with my help. My most successful total beginners have taken anywhere from one month (rare) to 8 months to bring their career vision fully to life with people calling them consistently in the niche they envisioned.

For you, if you’re already entrepreneurial, have great conversation skills, and have a knack for making people love you at first site, you may have your career up and running in just a couple of months as well. For most people it’s been around 8 months… and for those who really need a state change, it may take them longer.

The FIF Craft Certification Program is ideal for those who need a bit of extra care because it trains you to think like an in-demand professional and avoid many of the costly mistakes others have made when they have desperately tried to get into the business. Being with us destroys some of the biggest mental hurdles you may be facing such as:

• “How do I get to my goals when I have anxiety or depression?”
• “What if I have an idea of what I want, but I haven’t done anything with it yet? How do I know my idea will actually work for me?”
• “How do I deal with the issues that have held me back in the past and I’m scared I may find out I don’t have what it takes?”

I can tell you everyone feels nervous about whether they are good enough to get to their goals at first.

But let me tell you this: if you like to learn a craft BY DOING… if you are fascinated by what happens on a film set… if you dream of a different life than you have today and want to expand who you are and shed your limiting beliefs, this is the perfect avenue for you to grow into the person you want to be.

The A-list Mastermind and the bonus trainings are delivered in a multimedia format. The material is viewable across any laptop or mobile device. So all you need is a device with strong WiFi / cellular service!

We’ve got actors, writers, producers, directors, stunt people, VO artists, sound mixers, costume designers, production designer, set dressers, and more who have used The A-list Model to break into their crafts.

To be known as “one of the good ones”, you must learn how to get people referring you and passing your name around. You can quickly get your days working on sets doing your craft and qualify to join the union.

We don’t convince people to hire us. We use A-list Methods to become butter to work with and we get opportunities that give us a great life.

You can access the content and mastermind (the BatCave) at your convenience. The core training consists of pre-recorded videos, resources, and worksheets so you can access the materials anytime you want. Over the course of the program, we’ll add new content to the portal and you’re free to learn on your schedule.

Weekly calls with Janet depend on Janet’s film schedule. Usually, they are on Saturdays in the morning, but they can be on Fridays and Mondays too. We will definitely let you know in emails we send out two days and one day before whenever there’s a change in time. We may have multiple calls during the week as well if we are covering a certain topic. Remember, the content we teach is real-time and updated weekly!

All calls are recorded so if you miss a call, you can watch it later.

If you plan to work through the live program in real time, we recommend between 4-6 hours per week to watch the training, complete your assignments and — if you like — engage with us in the Mastermind BatCave with other A-listers and A-list Mentors. Many of our students go through the program as best they can; they sometime need to pause (because life happens!) and return to it as their schedule allows.

Remember that you have the Modules for life!

Once you pay off the payment plan or pay in full, you get lifetime access to the training and can easily work at your own pace, on your own schedule. Most of our students have full-time jobs and families. This experience is designed to stretch you, but it can also be customized to your life.

The more focus and dedication you put into A-list, the more you’ll get out of it. To be clear, this is not a magic pill and you will have to put in some proactive work. You can’t just read the content in the Modules, show up on our calls, and do nothing with that information.

This program mirrors the reality of becoming an “in demand” professional — it’s intense, time consuming, demanding and something you’ll work on for the life of your career.

Yes, people in the freelance film industry go on vacation, buy a house, have babies, and take care of aging parents. If this is what you want to do with your life, you must simply START and know that it’s never going to be a perfect time. The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is now.

It’s normal to be uncertain, but don’t let your fear keep you from doing the most important thing that all lessons in life and all good things will come from. Remember that the freelance film industry WILL give you a life beyond your dreams. It will give you freedom. Your baby steps will turn into big leaps as you see that you are wanted, needed, and have a service that people need on set. There are millions of productions who need what you have to offer. Have the courage to get your service out there and get good at it!

It’s normal. We get scared of what others will think of us if we screw up.

Channel your energy into thinking through how you refuse to quit this time. What are you willing to do differently? How will you keep going when everything in your head says you are a failure? How will YOU make this a different experience?

I’ll be honest, you’ll make mistakes and you’ll have challenges. No one has ever gotten into film and said, “Wow, for the first time ever it all went perfectly as planned.”

HELL NO! The problem isn’t being afraid to quit. The problem to truly work on is this…are you willing to keep going the moment you realize it won’t go perfectly?

Yep, all the time! Janet is either on set or teaching The A-list Mastermind. So yes, she is personally invested in your success.

We have so much free content out there and with the case studies, it’s easy to see the level that Janet delivers. There are no refunds for the A-list Mastermind or 20 Shoots System programs. When you join, you immediately get the content, invited to the calls, and the mastermind. You need to come in committed and ready to work on your career.

Decide you’re going to use this program to make money in the world. That’s the purpose of it and it inspires committed people to get our content and have a huge advantage on film sets, and causes the wrong people to not get our secrets and not join.

I’m just going to say this – everybody gets to have their own opinion. And I want to tell you, your partner’s opinion? It matters to them. And we’re not going to sit and think they need to change their mind in order for you to feel good about what you’re going to do.

I want to just give you some perspective. Your partner/family has watched you and hear you talking about your passion forever. They know the pain you feel by not pursuing it and mostly they are afraid you’re goin to try and be disappointed. They are trying to save you the disappointment ahead of time, not considering that doing challenging things is what makes you successful in life.

And I’m pretty sure they don’t share you same passion for acting or filmmaking, nor do they know anyone who works in film.

What I find is that when partners or family say this about wasting money, that’s their way of saying, “I don’t want to see you go through getting your hopes up again.” It’s usually not, “I don’t believe in you.” They view the film industry as this big and hard thing to get into and they don’t want to see you hurt. They don’t realize the film industry is a business that millions make their living in.

One of the best gifts you can give yourself is some peace knowing that they do love you.

I need you to focus on you and to stop thinking about what other people are thinking. Love them for caring enough to be honest with you. But now be honest with yourself and say, the only support I really need is my own. That’s the support that’s always going to work no matter what.

If they don’t listen to my Friends in Film podcast. I’m pretty sure they’re not reading this page or watching our videos. They’re not sitting there watching Facebook Lives. They’re not reading my emails.

And they don’t know what it’s like to be you. They don’t have the same perspective of being inside your head and what you go through each and every day and they’re not supposed to. You also don’t have the same perspective as they do.

Are you willing to make sure you make the most of your time with Friends in Film? Are you willing to let everybody be wrong and let them have their opinion while you go about doing what’s right for you?

When you are using my free resources and you have a question you’ve got to figure out the solution on your own. The free stuff is really good, and I’m going to tell you right now, I pour my heart and soul into it. But the problem is that it’s not organized. I just take questions that people ask, and start talking. So you have to hunt and dig for what you need, and you have to remember to do the hunting and digging. You have to rely on yourself to pull it all together. You have to organize the lessons so that you’re not overwhelmed with all the things you need to change. And you have to go it alone.

When you join me inside of A-list Model programs where I’ve done all the thinking for you – all you have to do is show up. You get all the methods and support you need to get started and go to the next level guided by a film professional the entire time.

There’s more than just the course and the trainings with me. I think you’re going to need help and support, and I want to make sure you have all of that included. Our community is filled with people who are just like you cheering you on, lifting you up, answering your questions and helping you stay motivated 24/7. My goal is to make sure you know what to do to become someone who lives in the film world, have the right people surrounding you and to make sure you have every motivational tool and coaching you’re going to need.

Of course! We have A-listers all over the world. The nice thing about being online is that it connects us. You just need the internet.

The payments are in US dollars.

I set this whole program up to make sure that it’s super flexible, because if you’re like me, you’re already very busy.

I keep the lessons short so that you can play them individually with whatever time you have during your week. It’s self-paced, so you can go as fast or as slow as you wish. If you’re a binge listener, get after it. If you’re slow and steady, get after it.

In addition to watching the course, most A-listers spend five minutes a day writing their daily plan. Sometimes, we might even spend 10 minutes a day if they are enjoying journaling.

Everything else – is optional AND self-paced.
