They Don't Teach This In Film School.
Film school rarely teaches you how to fund your film, build a business around it, or actually make money doing what you love. In this challenge, you'll learn exactly how to create a revenue plan, pitch your project to funders, and reverse-engineer a film budget that makes financial sense. If you're serious about turning your creativity into a sustainable career, this is your moment to invest in yourself, and finally learn the side of filmmaking no one talks about.
TESTIMONIALS
Iris Almaraz
Writer/Director/Producer
"As a Writer/Director, I’ve invested deeply in my craft but avoided the business side out of fear, often relying on others who fell short. As an indie filmmaker, I’ve taken on roles like producing and editing, and now I’m finally stepping up to embrace the business side myself.
Landi's filmmaking courses has been transformative, easing my discomfort and building real confidence in the business of filmmaking. In a supportive, energizing space, we addressed past challenges and gained concrete tools to move projects forward.
Every workshop I’ve taken with Landi has elevated my skills in clear, tangible ways."
"Landi is the consummate professional when it comes to sharing her technical knowledge, guided business directives and creative vision. Her extensive background in film shines through every session, never holding back pertinent information creatives need to succeed. Her dedication to our success is obvious in every assignment, every lecture and her curriculum planning to help us become the best well-rounded directors possible."

Meet Your Coach, Landi
I started teaching cinematic storytelling in 2018 because I wanted to see more indie filmmakers, especially women of color, tell their stories with beauty, boldness, and skill. Over the years, I’ve helped first-time filmmakers create powerful, visually stunning films, but what I kept seeing broke my heart:
They made great movies… and had no idea how to make money from them.
No business plan. No audience strategy. Just hope.
And in this industry, hope without a plan doesn’t pay the bills.
That’s why I created The Profitable Filmmaker Challenge, to help filmmakers like you take control of your career, learn how to generate revenue, and walk into every pitch meeting empowered, not overwhelmed.
​
Because your story matters. And your time, energy, and talent deserve a return.
The Industry Is Changing.
Will Your Strategy Change With It?
​
The filmmakers who thrive over the next decade won't just know how to make films.
They'll know how to build audiences, create revenue opportunities, leverage technology, and position themselves for long-term success.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start building with intention, join us inside The Profitable Filmmaker Challenge.
Build Your Audience. Build Your Revenue. Build Your Future.
