Ex-agency insider helping Hollywood’s overlooked build visibility + leverage
12+ years behind the scenes ➡️now building my own
🟢 Greenlight Yourself™️
Hollywood didn’t flinch when writers went broke.
But Ryan Coogler’s deal? That made them sweat.

Because it wasn’t about access.
It was about ownership.

If you’re a #creative in Hollywood feeling overlooked—this is your wake-up call.

Visibility isn’t luck. It’s a strategy.

Let’s build your Visibility Roadmap in 3 bold steps 👇🏽

It’s a good day to create.

Make something—big or small, polished or messy. Just start.

A24 bet on voice.

Not just visuals. Not just vibes.

They invested in bold POVs—filmmakers who had something to say.

Creators: your voice is your value. Don’t water it down.

You don’t need more time, more followers, or more validation. You need to start. The sooner you post, the sooner you grow. #creatives

I’ve been a runner-up more times than I can count. Still, I’m building my own platform. Every “almost” sharpened my vision. I don’t need anyone’s stamp to greenlight my story—I’ll keep showing up, and building, until it’s undeniable.

4 things I learned coaching a TV writer who hadn’t posted in a year:

1. Not working on your passion projects will lead to burnout.
2. You 1000% need a personal brand outside of the show name or title on your résumé. (1/2)

When you’re building a brand, a business, a movement...
you’ve got to be okay with the unfollows, the unsubscribes, the 0-comment posts.

Silence doesn’t mean you’re not making impact.
It means you’re laying the foundation.

Keep building.

Underrecognized is a stage. Underqualified is a lie.

Underrecognized #creatives: You’re not behind. You’re just building in a system that values noise over talent.

The most dangerous person in the room? The one who’s underrecognized, not underqualified.
April 22, 2025 at 8:01 PM
Underrecognized doesn’t mean underqualified. It means underestimated. And that’s their mistake.

Some films entertain you. Others break you wide open.
I saw #Sinners today. I walked out inspired and grieving.
Inspired by the storytelling.
Grieving for the dream I’ve carried for years that still hasn’t come true.

Hollywood doesn’t need more IP. It needs a marketing reality check.
Creators are out here doing more with a phone than studios are with $50M.
Studios need to market like creators. Creators need to launch like empires. #creators

Creators are out-marketing studios with nothing but an iPhone, a story, and consistency.
April 18, 2025 at 9:59 PM
The future belongs to the storytellers who know how to build belief before the drop.

If your original movie flops, it’s not because people don’t care.

It’s because they didn’t know it existed.

Studios wait until the last minute to market, then blame audiences.

Start building when the script is locked.

For the almost-staffed writers.
The comedians with reels but no reach.
The performers with credits—but no traction.
The producers, directors, and creators doing
everything behind the scenes.
This is for you. 🧵

Studios spend $50M+ on a film and start marketing 6 weeks before release—then wonder why no one shows up.

It’s not an IP problem. It’s an audience problem.

In tomorrow’s issue of Greenlight Yourself, I’ll tell you what to do instead.

Some days the words flow. Other days? It’s like I'm pulling my edges out.

Today—it’s flowing. And I’m soooooo grateful for that.

I’m working on one of the most important issues I’ve written for Greenlight Yourself.

It drops this Friday. Make sure you’re subscribed—you won’t want to miss it.

I hope you end the day by doing something you love!

You don’t need a huge following.
You need a reputation that speaks before you do.
