Do I need a degree in film or media to take this course? Absolutely not. In fact, if you didn’t go to film school, this course is your ultimate equalizer.

Whether you have a degree or you are completely self-taught, this course meets you where you are.
I don’t live in Los Angeles or New York. Will this still work for me? Yes. The media landscape has completely changed. While LA and NY are still major hubs, production is happening everywhere—from local sports broadcasting to remote digital media and corporate video. The strategies Joe teaches about building a network, tracking industry evolution, and securing your spot apply no matter where your home base is.
