“When I had the opportunity to be coached by Jon, I was beyond excited. It was a big deal to talk with and receive personal advice from someone I've looked up to as a filmmaker for several years. Getting a peek behind the curtain of some of my favorite pieces was a lot of fun. My experience with Jon was outstanding and I'd highly recommend it to any other directors or producers looking to level up. This is definitely not a silver bullet to become a great filmmaker (sorry everyone haha )...but this is the real way to grow as a filmmaker; in a holistic and sustainable way. 

I really appreciate that in addition to the concrete filmmaking-related advice, I got a lot of unexpected advice about how to manage burnout/sustainability. Hearing from Jonathan about the level of burnout commonly found at the higher tiers of commercial filmmaking helped me to put my own aspirations in perspective. Overall, I feel my coaching experience made me a much more well-rounded filmmaker and am so grateful for the opportunity.”
