I took my own, hard route to my career and I wish I'd had taken Jim’s workshop at the start. It would have been so helpful! It should be compulsory for all creative professionals and students worldwide.
- ALUNA FRANCIS, star of global recording group AlunaGeorge
"Film directors (any creative people really) must constantly re-invent ourselves, fight the blues, the self-doubt . . .We are increasingly forced to function as our own self-promoters, motivators, and salespersons. It's not an easy thing to do, to play both the Creative and the Business roles!
