The Private Mastermind for Filmmakers Ready to Get Funded

Work directly with Carole Dean to refine your pitch, strengthen your funding strategy, and move your film forward — faster and with clarity.
This is Carole Dean’s highest-level mastermind — designed for filmmakers who are done circling their project and ready to actually fund it, finish it, and move forward.  

Inside this private group, you’ll work directly with Carole every month — refining your pitch, strengthening your funding strategy, and aligning your mindset so your film can gain real traction.  
Monthly Mastermind Intensives

Each session is a focused, high-level workshop designed to move your film forward.

Every month, you’ll step into a live intensive session with Carole Dean — combining strategy, coaching, and real-time feedback.

Each mastermind includes: 
  • Alignment + clarity work to eliminate hesitation
  • Advanced funding and pitch strategy
