First and foremost, I’m never going to put something out unless it’s 100% the best and most valuable it could be. Charging for the program allows me to allocate the resources I need to deliver the highest quality learning + mentorship experience.

The financial commitment also helps ensure that people complete the course, do the action steps, participate in the community, join the group and private calls, and ultimately land more and bigger show gigs. I'd much rather have less members but have them be more successful rather than having a large but uncommitted community. I want to see people succeed and make sure my energy and time goes to people that will find value in it.

Lastly, the investment isn’t as outer-worldly as it may seem - I’m very confident that if you complete the program, you will book a show even if you haven’t shot one before. Assuming the budget is at least average, you will have paid off the entire program with the FIRST show you shoot as well as saving you 4 years of grinding like I had to do. 

MAINSTAGE ACADEMY is designed to bring value to creatives of all experience levels. There are videos that walk you through which camera to pick as well as how to use it. There are also chapters for the most advanced of shooters that help you get higher-paying work and build on relationships to establish brands & empires. I am 100% confident that whatever your skill level, you will walk away from the program very happy with your investment.
