Conscious Filmmaking
~Where AWARENESS meets FILMMAKING~
We are in an industry that promotes "the hustle" ie. playing the game, fitting in, getting seen, and yet the creative's superpower lies in being unapologetically YOU, and bringing that unique version of yourself to the pitch room, the page, or set. This means you have to eliminate any limiting beliefs, blocks, sense of unworthiness or shame holding you back.
What is Conscious Filmmaking?
The magical intersection where PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, MINDSET, and FILMMAKING all meet to create magnetism towards accomplishing your filmmaking goals.

We all have blocks and shadows both personally and collectively. From our parental modeling and societal programming, to the stories our industry perpetuates, we have subconscious beliefs and blocks about making money through our passion, our worth within the film industry, exposing our most vulnerable self through our art, etc. It is time to recognize and call them out so they lose power, and we can replace them with new productive beliefs to reach our fullest potential.

Surrounding ourselves with a like-minded community and people who are "in the arena" so we can see to believe is so key. Here the quality of the people is key as they allow us to expand beyond our hopes and dreams to truly see that what we strive for is actually possible. Also, operating as a solo-preneur is hard so finding way to create accountability, share responsibility and keep you motivated and inspired are a must.

"I loved the content and meeting with like minded women in the film business was invaluable. It confirmed that I am in the right field and it's up to me to create my reality. Sara Elizabeth created a safe and inspiring space for everyone to show up as their authentic self. She was a beacon for each one of us. I highly recommend this class."
