"Jim Jermanok’s advice in “Making Your Projects Happen” are the CliffsNotes for people hoping to make it in the business of creative pursuit; a MapQuest tour through the baffling and congested world of entertainment and media."
-STEVE KROFT, CBS News Correspondent for “60 Minutes,” 5-time Peabody Award Winner
 
"Jim’s advice is so spot on; it’s like having a father in Show Business.'
-EDDIE FELDMANN, Executive Producer, Writer and 5-time Emmy Award winner (“HBO’s Dennis Miller Live”)
 
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!  Jim not only provides insight into these challenges, but also gives us some real tools to get past them and make your career dreams come true."
- RANDA HAINES, Director of Oscar-nominated film, “Children of a Lesser God”
