Friends In Film’s Craft Certification Program
The ONLY program in the world that results in you getting PAID work in a CRAFT on professional sets.
The professional film industry trusts Janet with multi-million dollar campaigns. And the film industry trusts Friends In Film to train the next generation of professionals.
The Facts:
If you were 20 years old, you can afford to spend ten years as a production assistant and figure out the industry on your own through trial and error.
But if you’re not, you have no time to waste.
Your first-time impressions must be good and your approach must be spot-on. You also need a strategy to get hired for certain.
You don’t need to go to film school to learn any of this…
All of your talent is built from working on professional film sets through daily exposure to the filming process and making continuous relationships.
Stop trying to build your career from outside the business. Learn your craft first-hand on set with Friends In Film’s Craft Certification Program while you get PAID.

FAQs
Yes, it certainly can. Most of our students either have no experience, or have had experience that didn’t take them anywhere professionally. They have usually received that experience from film schools and other prestigious academies, but didn’t know what to do with it.
The thing is — building a professional career doesn’t magically happen without you deciding you are going to work on your set knowledge, communication, and quiet confidence (how you respond to conflict and stress). You are truly doing it with my help. My most successful total beginners have taken anywhere from one month (rare) to 8 months to bring their career vision fully to life with people calling them consistently in the niche they envisioned.
For you, if you’re already entrepreneurial, have great conversation skills, and have a knack for making people love you at first site, you may have your career up and running in just a couple of months as well. For most people it’s been around 8 months… and for those who really need a state change, it may take them longer.
The Program is ideal for those who need a bit of extra care because it trains you to think like an in-demand professional and avoid many of the costly mistakes others have made when they have desperately tried to get into the business. Being with us destroys some of the biggest mental hurdles you may be facing such as:
- “How do I get to my goals when I have anxiety or depression?”
- “What if I have an idea of what I want, but I haven’t done anything with it yet? How do I know my idea will actually work for me?”
- “How do I deal with the issues that have held me back in the past and I’m scared I may find out I don’t have what it takes?”
I can tell you everyone feels nervous about whether they are good enough to get to their goals at first.
But let me tell you this: if you like to learn a craft BY DOING… if you are fascinated by what happens on a film set… if you dream of a different life than you have today and want to expand who you are and shed your limiting beliefs, this is the perfect avenue for you to grow into the person you want to be.
The Program and the bonus trainings are delivered in a multimedia format. The material is viewable across any laptop or mobile device. So all you need is a device with strong WiFi / cellular service!
The most desirable work is competitive. Everyone wants it. That’s why you need to be thinking differently, and showing up differently. We don’t beg for work. We produce work because “Work begets work.”
We don’t tell, we show. That’s how you sell a show concept to Netflix. That’s how you create an in-demand career too.
You do the training on your own schedule. Everyone has to work, so most people have 9-5 jobs when they start. The point is to leave those 9-5 jobs forever. But we all need money coming in initially to make it all work.
You absorb the training and you do what it teaches you to do in the field.
Weekly calls with Janet depend on Janet’s film schedule. Usually, they are on Saturdays or Sundays in the morning, but they can be on Fridays and Mondays too. The replays are always posted in the Calls section of the training.
Weekly acting practice calls are on Fridays. Weekly reinvention calls are usually on Thursdays. You will not be able to make all of the calls, but you do the best that you can. I want to overdeliver. I know that I am giving you everything you need to stay in the “creative and learning” film mindset to create the most amazing life and become the most amazing person you’ve always wanted to be!
I recommend between 4-6 hours per week to watch the training, do what it says — if you like — engage with us in the Mastermind group with other students.
Once you pay off the payment plan or pay in full, you will have lifetime access to the training. You can easily work at your own pace, on your own schedule. The most important thing is that you are getting into the film industry. Most of our students have full-time jobs, are in school, and many have kids and families. How else could it be? It’s the life experience to have jobs, have kids and families AND decide that now you want to make your job where you work in the film industry!
Yes, people in the freelance film industry go on vacation, buy a house, have babies, and take care of aging parents. If this is what you want to do with your life, you must simply START and know that it’s never going to be a perfect time. The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is now.
It’s normal to be uncertain, but don’t let your fear keep you from doing the most important thing that will give you the life you want. You are starting a legacy for yourself and your family. There are millions of productions who need what you want to create. Let’s go!
Yep, all the time! Janet is either on set or teaching The Craft Certification Program. So yes, she is personally invested in your success. She is a valuable connection for you. Your link to Hollywood and the excellent work being done today.
