This isn't just another filmmaking event.
It's your turning point. Imagine walking into client meetings as the trusted creative partner who guides strategy – not just the person hired to execute someone else's vision.
Over three immersive days, you'll join a carefully curated community of 200 ambitious filmmakers who refuse to settle for average.
Together, we'll dive deep into the exact frameworks, mindset shifts, and business strategies that separate order-takers from sought-after creative leaders who command premium rates.
If you're creating solid work but still struggling with feast-or-famine cycles, feeling undervalued in client relationships, or hitting a ceiling on your rates – this conference was designed specifically for you.

This conference is for you if average isn't enough...
🎥 You're tired of being treated as a technical vendor rather than a creative partner
📈 You're creating quality work but struggling to grow beyond your current ceiling
😤 You find yourself saying "yes" to projects that drain your energy and creativity
🤝 You want to work with clients who truly value your creative perspective
🚀 You're ready to transform how you shot up, your story mastery, and your business systems
Cause here is the
unfortunate reality…
The solution isn't in your gear 🎥
And it likely won't come from working harder 💪🏽
landing premium rates from clients you love to work with is possible, but it will require you to build from a solid foundation:
🧠 Personal mastery: how you show up and the confidence you bring to your clients and set
💣 Story Mastery: your ability to find and deliver remarkable content
🎯 business mastery: mastering the psychological principles for premium sales and marketing (plus the systems to let you work on the business, and not in it all the time)
The story first summit is your chance to massively up your game in all three areas.
here's how…
And it

"In just 30 days, I launched my filmmaking brand and secured my first $50,000 project. Muse taught me that you can achieve your goals without waiting for permission.”

"When I found Patrick and Muse, it's like, 'Oh, this is it. This person can tell me how to achieve this, that, and the other in very specific steps."
Autumn Payne

"I feel like I now have not just a fishing rod. I've got a net, a spear, a rod, and a boat. It's like, take me fishing - I'm equipped with what I need."
John Goldsmith

Last night, when I hung up with my client, I looked back at all the work and improvements I have done since I first ran into the Muse Process. I realized I was only starting the Mentorship... The sky is the limit!
Sebastien Nestolat

I just got the verbal agreement from the marketing manager that they are accepting a 90-day run of the pitch I sent them for monthly videos and a strategic plan, with DOUBLE what I used to charge them. This is with a client I've had for 5 years. This is such a huge deal to me."

"Just warpping up our mentorship with Muse and it's not even June, and we've exceeded our 2024 revenue in current and upcoming projects. This will be our best year yet."
