Overwhelmed by information? Simplify your learning.
Growing up in Arkansas in the ‘90s and 2000s, I never imagined I’d find my way into the entertainment world.
But when I finally picked up a camera at 22, it changed everything—and now, I’m ready to do more to help others make their own breakthroughs.
When I was learning, finding a quality tutorial online probably took longer than just experimenting long enough to figure out the answer for myself.
I've spent thousands of hours and the better part of the last 15 years (oof) piecing together a tutorial and experience based "film degree."
Instead of going to film school, a buddy and I hit the ground running.
We used our money (i.e., loans and credit cards) to buy our first RED camera, which led to producing and directing music videos featured on Vevo and MTV.
Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience even more of a masterclass by working as a fight coordinator and stuntman on multi-million dollar films with award-winning filmmakers.
If you follow me on social media, then you know I’ve started giving a ton of this knowledge away for free.
Cinematography, filmmaking, photography, and content creation have all become the vehicles I use for self-expression.
And through this creation process, I’ve discovered something I’m equally passionate about:
Sharing it.
I’m excited to let you know that, for a limited time, I’m available for 1-on-1 mentorship.
Whether you need clarity on things you’ve already learned or you want to fast-track your knowledge without piecing it together from a thousand different sources (and trial and error) like I did, I’m here for you.
Maybe you want to learn more about cinematography and content creation, or maybe you need motivation and accountability in navigating your goals.
They say that if you have the opportunity to steal someone else’s 10,000 hours, you should.
I’m more than happy to share mine.
And don’t worry—I’ll still be publishing all kinds of free material online and through this newsletter. That won’t change.
But if you’re ready to accelerate your journey, you can find more information here:

During your first session, we'll start with a free 30-Minute onboarding to go over the info sheet I'll send you so we can get a clear view of where you're at, and what your goals for the session(s) are.
Some ideas for topics we can cover are: camera/shooting, lighting, color grading, editing, my personal workflow, gear, and more.
Because I want to give everyone my full attention, I’m only going to be able to accommodate a limited number of spots for a limited time.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, and I'm looking forward to working with you.
Caleb
