Welcome to The Academy Lounge – a space designed for real, peer-to-peer networking, collaboration, and growth, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Let’s keep this community positive and focused on helping each other succeed.

Here are the rules:

1. Leave Your Ego at the Door

   • This is a place to learn, share, and grow. There’s no room for arrogance or gatekeeping. We’re all here to support each other.

2. Be Respectful

   • Treat everyone with kindness and professionalism. No disrespect, harassment, or negativity will be tolerated.

3. Stay on Topic

   • Keep discussions focused on filmmaking, storytelling, and professional development. Off-topic posts or unrelated banter don’t belong here.

4. No Self-Promotion

   • This is a space for learning, not selling. Posts promoting yourself, your business, or services will be removed and your account subject to being banned.

5. Help Others, Grow Together

   • Share knowledge, ask questions, and contribute meaningfully. Collaboration over competition is the goal.

6. Zero Tolerance Policy

   • Any abuse or violations of these rules will result in an immediate ban—no warnings given.

By joining this community, you agree to these guidelines and commit to fostering a supportive and inspiring space.

Hey Everyone,
I’ve made some big changes starting December 1st, and I can’t wait for you to check them out!

I’ll be cross-posting some content to YouTube, but as academy members, you’ll always get early access to these releases before anyone else. It won’t always be a direct cross-post – some content will be tailored specifically for the academy, giving you even more value.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the style and delivery of the info. When you watch the video, please leave a comment with your feedback. I’d love to hear what you think and how we can keep making the academy even better.

Thanks for being part of this amazing community – your feedback means the world. Let’s keep leveling up together.
