The Film Career Lab
I will help you create a career in film - TV - acting - media.
This creative career mentorship program is designed for individuals eager to build a real, sustainable career in film, video, photography, YouTube, or acting. It’s tailored for everyone passionate about the media arts who aspires to create a successful career. This supportive environment is great for everyone but also beneficial for autistic and ADHD creators who thrive with structure, clarity, and direct feedback. Through one-on-one private tutoring with Peter Simmons, you’ll work at your own pace through our interactive online mentorship, complete tailored assignments, and receive individualized guidance to transition from 'dreaming' to 'doing.'
The goal is clear: to help you establish a defined path, build a compelling portfolio, and start earning money doing what you love. Whether you seek a job, aim to become a freelancer, or attract sponsors and investors, your customized film career lab experience starts here.
What topics will be explored.
Identity & Direction
In our creative career mentorship program, you'll define your creative identity, discover your strengths, clarify your goals, and choose a direction that aligns with your brain and life. As part of the film career lab, you'll also learn how to present yourself effectively and begin building your network. This serves as the foundation for your 90-day action plan, which is further enhanced by our online filmmaking videos and webinars.
Where to look? How to find the jobs and pathway.
Working with Peter Simmons , you’ll learn how to create genuine win-win situations with clients, collaborators, and casting directors. You’ll discover where real opportunities lie—how to find them, reach the right people, and stand out in your creative career mentorship. You'll refine or build your portfolio, understand what to create and how to present it, and begin assembling the pieces that clearly demonstrate your talent.
Getting Work & Making Money
You will explore the real steps to getting paid work, clients, or sponsors in your creative career mentorship. You’ll learn who to approach, how to make your first pitches, and how to land your first paid jobs or opportunities with confidence. You’ll continue shaping your 90‑day plan while beginning to map out your 1‑year and 5‑year goals, and we’ll create a simple accountability system to help you stay consistent and supported as you grow through the film career lab.
Your 90 Day Career Plan
You’ll finalize your 90-day roadmap, shape a long-term plan, and learn how to stay flexible, creative, and consistent as your career grows within the creative career mentorship framework. We’ll create a custom plan tailored to your goals, strengths, and preferred path in the film career lab, giving you a clear direction for the next 3 months, 1 year, and beyond.

I had way too many projects going on and lacked direction. Through the creative career mentorship I received from Peter, we met once a week for about 10 sessions, and he helped me turn everything around and get on the right track in life and work. I even discovered the film career lab and enrolled in an online filmmaking course that further enhanced my skills. Thank you!

Peter was instrumental in helping me launch my science program for kids. As someone pursuing a creative career mentorship, I felt a bit overwhelmed and confused. However, with Peter's guidance and the tools he provided, I was able to move forward successfully, and the program turned out to be a big success, much like the outcomes from a film career lab or an online filmmaking course.
