‘Every year a new writer and filmmaker wins the Oscar for best short film... If it's not you, it will be someone else... '

Like you… I just needed to get taken seriously…

For years I had been banging my head against the door, trying to break in, get an agent, get some traction. My scripts and films were liked, but somehow I just couldn’t make that final step… I was just not being heard, seen or considered. 

I needed to do something that would make everyone sit up, something that would elevate me from all the others attempting to break in.

That’s when I heard about the short film Oscar. And I realised, if I played the game right, I had a shot… and a good shot at that… of winning the Oscar for best short film.

So I began the journey to win the Oscar…

Hold on tight... I had no idea how far I would get...

I had big ambitions but never imagined I would end up at the Producers Guild Of America Awards picking up best short film prize from Gale Anne Hurd…

… or how I would collect over 50 international awards, get a manager and agent in LA, sell the film to Channel 4…

Or find myself in the Bahamas at a festival in December when that email form the Academy came through saying… ‘Keep February free, you may be coming to the Oscars…’

It was a wild ride.

Join me and learn all the hard won lessons from this adventure into story, filmmaking, art, craft, business and mindset…
