Publisher's Summary

You've got a dream...a movie idea...that never seems to get made?  

That. Ends. Now. 

Finally, a book that confronts the challenges filmmakers of all types of films face when bringing their vision to the screen. Emmy-nominated director and multi-hyphenate filmmaker Christopher Folkens (www.mysticfilms.com) provides an in-depth look at the personal journey necessary for any filmmaker to take on their debut film (or really any creative project for that matter). He shares personal insights and strategies that took him from freelance filmmaker hopeful to directing his debut feature film Catalyst (www.catalyst-the-movie.com). This is a book for filmmakers unlike any other.   

The lessons in this book are what they don't teach you in film school:   

  • How to tackle that "inner critic" voice and create amazing work anyway
  • How to overcome the self-sabotage and other ways we limit ourselves from doing what we're on this planet to do
  • Discover the three secret formulas to unlock your inner potential and begin creating epic results in your life. 
  • Discover how I shot half of my feature film in one night. 
  • Discover the seven internal roadblocks that are stopping you and permanently change your relationship with how you relate with them. 
  • Discover how to build self-confidence in your work as an artist. 
  • Discover how to be decisive and take committed action toward your creative vision.
  • Discover a path for you to bring your debut film to reality through the seven core distinctions to mindset mastery. 
  • Discover how to apply the lessons I learned from directing Catalyst to any creative endeavor.  
  • All for less than the cost of a movie ticket

Taking a unique look at the personal journey of a film creatives' life and honing in on many of the areas we hold ourselves back, Folkens provides a fresh new look at what it takes to get out of your own way and direct your debut.
