Leading Expertise At Your Fingertips
Academy and Emmy nominated filmmaker Frederick Marx, most known for HOOP DREAMS - named the Best Documentary of All Time by the Intl. Documentary Association - has worked 45 years in the film and television business. His film JOURNEY FROM ZANSKAR features the Dalai Lama with narration by Richard Gere. His five-film mini-series VETERANS JOURNEY HOME is now complete and in worldwide distribution. Other recent works - the feature film THE UNSPOKEN, starring Harry Lennix and Sergei Shnirev, the documentary mini-series BOYS TO MEN? and RITES OF PASSAGE, all express deep concerns about teen boys realizing mature masculinity. His books AT DEATH DO US PART, RITES TO A GOOD LIFE, and TURDS OF WISDOM have recently been published. A Chicago Tribune Artist of the Year, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a recipient of a Robert F. Kennedy Special Achievement Award, you can find him at IMDB, Wikipedia and WarriorFilms.org.
During my almost 50-year career, I have helped hundreds of filmmakers and writers reach their filmmaking and personal goals. I know perfectly well that most filmmakers, while improving their filmmaking skills, don’t have programs or teachers that help them also grow as people. As a result, most of them never unlock their full leadership potential along with their greatest filmmaking potential.
I have combined years of practical experience and study to create proven, actionable strategies that teach filmmakers how to become psychologically and creatively resilient, to thrive in high-performance environments where stress & pressure are always present.
