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.

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.
This Challenge Is For You If…
✔️ You’re tired of guessing how to fund your film
✔️ You’re overwhelmed by budgeting and business plans
✔️ You want to build a filmmaking career that’s actually sustainable
✔️ You’re ready to finally stop winging it and start earning
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 business 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."
