Do you struggle to connect with your audience? Are you in the dark about what actually makes a story good? What if you could take your skills to the next level? My new Mentorship Program is designed to teach you the most important aspects of visual storytelling in a short amount of time. These principles are more important than your drawing skills, the quality of your equipment, or your number of collaborators. Each month, I’ll work one-on-one with you to develop a polished short film. You’ll also have 24/7 access to 60+ minutes of video lectures, 125 pages of worksheets, and several project files.

You'll Learn:

    • Character Creation and Concept Design
    • The Psychology Behind Color Theory
    • Shot Composition & Storyboarding
    • How to Find Your Audience
    • How to Work with Voice Actors
    • A Six-Part Formula for Effective Storytelling

Cory Clayton developed a pitch bible under my mentorship. He pitched his series to Adult Swim on-air, and went on to raise hundreds of dollars to fund it!

When you sign up, you’ll gain access to my direct mentorship, a tight-knit community of fellow creators, and 24/7 access to my ever-growing collection of lecture videos, tutorials, project files, and more.

Every month, you have the chance to win an award for the quality of your short. Having a small group of collaborators and competitors is a great way to push your skills to the next level. There will even be cash prizes in the near future.

Finding direct feedback from mentors in the field is a luxury that's usually only available to art students. Most industry professionals are too busy to give you the attention that helps the most. I want to change that. If you join my mentorship program, I'll work with you on any project from beginning to end, including draw-overs, video critiques, and honest, constructive criticism.

Cal likes making weird cartoons and videos. When he was 6 he tried to make an animation machine out of a tissue box and a bunch of printer paper taped together. It didn’t work, but in Middle-School he found that skipping class to mess around with Flash MX worked better. He also overcame his fear of pool filters.
