Take control of your entertainment career by becoming a multi-hyphenate writer-director-producer from an award-winning filmmaker.

The entertainment industry is all about who you know, but do you ever feel like you struggle to get the ball rolling on your project by finding that person to say yes? What if you took the reins yourself by being a multi-hyphenate?

If you’re a writer, you need a producer to find financing and a director to turn your script into a film. If you’re a producer or a director, you can’t do anything without a script first.

Instead of allowing yourself to get stuck trying to have these three crucial elements, like so many other talented people in this business, you could bring the skills to fill all of them yourself.

In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, you’ll learn what it takes to be a multi-hyphenate writer-director-producer so that you can successfully become the architect of your own career.

This is exactly what Thomas Michael has done for over 20 years in entertainment by writing, directing, producing, and starring in his own projects. After creating and starring in his own series at 17, he has made 9 feature films as a writer, director, or producer, or all three.

His thriller BACK COUNTRY premiered at TIFF, sold to IFC, and went on to become their highest-grossing film of the year. Thomas has also worked with major Hollywood talent, including Mickey Rourke, Garret Hedlund, Stanley Tucci, Annabelle Wallis, and more.

By being a multi-hyphenate, you guarantee yourself a seat at the decision table at every crucial step of making your film. And you’ll do this by empowering yourself with the skill of each of these roles.

Thomas will share with you the dos and don’ts of being a multi-hyphenate and the pitfalls. How to market yourself and design a practical roadmap to getting your next film made by taking on these three roles.

For those attending the live webcast, you’ll also have a chance to ask Thomas any questions about your career and how to jump into these skill sets.

Don’t miss out on your chance to take control of your career and remove the roadblocks so that you can kickstart your career as a multi-hyphenate filmmaker.
