Registration Before April 29th -- First Session April 30th --
You’re a creative leader — a filmmaker, showrunner, executive, or artist — but your voice got tangled in the noise somewhere along the way.
THIS is for you if-
You’ve hit a plateau in your career or creative work
You’re navigating high-stakes decisions with no map
You feel responsible for everyone but your own vision
You know you’re meant to lead differently — but you’re not sure how to start
THIS is your reset.
Breaking through the “fourth wall” isn’t just about storytelling—it’s about breaking through the barriers that keep your full potential hidden. It’s about leading with integrity, intention, adaptability, and vision. Authentic leadership doesn’t happen by chance—it’s built, step by step, by pushing past real and imagined limitations.

We intentionally keep the group small to create a space that’s intimate, focused, and supportive.
This isn’t about packing the room—it’s about building a circle of creatives who are ready to show up for themselves and each other.
By limiting registration, we’re able to foster deeper conversations, personalized guidance, and a true sense of camaraderie. Everyone has a voice, and every voice matters.
The goal is connection, not crowding—because meaningful growth happens in spaces where you feel seen, heard, and encouraged.

No—sessions will not be recorded.
This choice is intentional. We want to create a space where everyone feels safe speaking freely, asking questions, and sharing honestly without worrying about being on camera or archived.
