The Zero-to-One Filmmaker Incubator by The Attraction Collective

Stop Dreaming. Start Shooting.

We take 10 filmmakers from Concept to Completion. No upfront tuition. We invest in you, and we only get paid when your project succeeds.

The Problem

Why do 90% of film projects die in "Development Hell"?

You have the vision. You have the talent. But you’re stuck. Maybe it’s the financing. Maybe it’s the packaging. Maybe it’s simply the overwhelming loneliness of trying to push a boulder up a hill by yourself.

Film school teaches you theory. We teach you execution.

The Solution

A True Partnership, Not a Class.

This is not a course where you watch videos and take quizzes. This is a hands-on mentorship and production incubator.

I am going to work with you personally to take your project from 0 to 1. We will strip your project down to the studs and rebuild it to be market-ready, fundable, and actionable.

The "0 to 1" Roadmap:

  • Phase 1: Development: Script polish, logline refinement, and concept strengthening.

  • Phase 2: The Package: Creating the lookbook/deck, budget, and schedule that investors actually want to see.

  • Phase 3: The Greenlight: Strategy for grants, sponsorship, and crowdfunding.

  • Phase 4: Execution: Pre-production guidance and production oversight.

  • Phase 5: Post: Creating the magic.

  • Phase 6: Marketing: Creating a Winning plan that explodes onto the film scene.

  • Phase 7: Distribution: Getting your film out there on multiple platforms.

  • Phase 8: Repeat

We Win When You Win.

Most mentorship programs ask for thousands of dollars before you’ve even made a dime. We are flipping the script.

  • $0 Upfront Cost: You do not pay a dime to enter this fellowship.

  • Success-Based Contribution: Our fee comes out of the project's success—whether that is secured grants, sponsorship, donors, or distribution revenue.

  • Aligned Incentives: We are motivated to help you get your project funded and made, because that is the only way this partnership works.

The Financial Model

Exclusive. Intensive. Curated.

Because of the hands-on nature of this work (I am personally reviewing your drafts, your budgets, and your strategy), I cannot accept everyone.

  • Cap: 5–10 Filmmakers maximum.

  • Selection: This is not first-come, first-served. Acceptance is based on the strength of your vision and your interview.

  • The Vibe: We are building a "writers room" environment. You will be surrounded by a small group of equally driven peers who will become your lifelong creative network.

The Cohort

I have produced 11, directed 5 independent feature films. My projects have been featured on Kickstarter, Apple Store, played on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and over 40 major film festivals. I created this fellowship because I wish I had someone to guide me through the minefield of independent film when I started. I want to be that guide for you.
