¡Feliz día de los Muertos! This is a big holiday in Mexico, where we celebrate our loved ones who are no longer with us. When I moved to Europe, I wanted to bring this tradition with me, and I did; I organized a “Día de los Muertos” film festival for 3 years in Madrid and Copenhagen. Then, the business grew, I had more projects to work on, and I couldn’t keep organizing this marvelous event. Organizing FREE events is a great way to grow your brand and start being recognized, but nobody tells you that you better be specific about the events you do because this is how people will remember you. I stepped away from the Mexican Film Festival because of time constraints, but when you don’t have the time, you need to be strategic about your next move. My strategy was to position myself as an international film producer and wanted to reach a more international target. Something I have achieved. I still work with Mexican films, but my clients are from around the world, and I could achieve this because I strategize, implement, and focus and know what I want. Sometimes, it is not about the execution you must do but the decisions you must make so you can focus your energy on something solid. The 1000 projects you have in your hands won’t make you the money you want to be famous. If this is you, it’s time for you to join me at my FREE webinar on November 28th, Cash In On Your Creativity: Make Your Brand Work for You, where I will teach you how to focus and choose the best projects for your brand. I am celebrating “Día de Los Muertos” with my family in Texas this year. Comment below ME to send you the link.

With all this traveling and talking to film professionals, I have noticed one thing they always admire: my brand. There is a great need to teach filmmakers how to create and build a sustainable brand. You certainly know how to make a film, and you know your craft amazingly, but you are not making the kind of money you want, and it’s a struggle to find money for your film. Imagine you have a functional, aesthetic, professional brand that attracts the money. 🙌🏾 Money for you. 🙌🏾 Money for your film. This is doable, and I will teach you how to make it happen during my FREE webinar Cash In On Your Creativity: Make Your Brand Work for You, where branding is the topic and how you will be able to create a brand that speaks for you. During this webinar, you will take home: 🎬 A step-by-step of the elements you need to create a professional brand online. 🎬 I will walk you through my experience in business and creating brands for small and big creative companies. 🎬 How to make money with your brand once it is created. Join me on November 28th at 3pm (CET). Comment below ME 🌟 to send you the link. Here is me at MIPCOM 🔽 Prepping for a meeting.

If you have heard me talk about marketing and branding, you know I oppose films having their own social media and brand. Why? Building a brand takes years; a film will die after 2 or 3 years. With all the hard work and effort you invested in growing its social media and website will vanish, too. Your film followers won’t follow you to your next project because they don’t know you enough; they know your film, but that’s it. My idea of branding is bringing your films to live with you at your own digital house. 🔽🔽 ✨ Make the audience fall in love not only with your film but with you and your following projects. ✨ Save time and effort by feeding different social media profiles. ✨ Have only one website where all your projects are showcased. I will teach you this in my FREE webinar, Cash In On Your Creativity: Make Your Brand Work for You. In it, you will learn how to grow your brand, earn money, and find opportunities while promoting your film. What’s not to like?

I am preparing an offer for Black Friday, and personal branding is part of it! People always mentioned how professional and trustworthy my brand looks, and they wish they had a brand like mine. This is completely possible, and I am here to help you! I will be hosting a FREE webinar on November 28th at 3 p.m. (CET) to teach you how to build a creative brand that generates money for you. ❌ No more struggle when finding your next gig. ❌ No more having lots of social media profiles to feed. ❌ No more problems with attracting the wrong people to work with. Everything depends on the kind of brand you have, and if you don’t have one, maybe that’s the problem. I will share what has worked for me and what hasn’t in the last year. Because this brand is less than a year old and I have multiple-figure deals, it is structured and attracts my target audience. This can be you, too! You can have amazing results in less than a year just because you decided to work on your brand. Comment below if you are interested in receiving the link.

Packing my bags to the US and attending AFM, I needed to share the highlight of #MIPCOM, and besides the fantastic location, eating great, meeting exciting people, and having meetings next to the sea was to meet other women in the entertainment business. I had the opportunity to attend the Women in Entertainment International Mentoring and Networking Breakfast, which was organized by RX Global and MédiaClub'Elles More than 100 women in one place trying to make a better entertainment industry for all of us. I had the opportunity to meet and hear to the inspiring Claudia Vaccarone, MSc, give a speech in person for the first time. It feels unreal because we met online through another fellow businesswoman, and both were speakers at my Women’s event in 2022. After Claudia’s speech, the women at my table and I discussed how difficult it was to be a woman in the industry, cultural differences, boundaries, the glass ceiling, and how older generations are helping younger generations break through more easily. I shared the table with wonderful and talented women around the world, and our mentor was Heba Korayem. Thank you for sharing and connecting Rukhsana Mosam, Sarah Chanderia, Rina Bohland, BA, and Carla Corbi I am missing to tag other women at our table, but we didn't have enough time to exchange numbers, cards, etc. If you happen to be connected with them, don't hesitate to tag them. We need more women at the big table, in executive positions, and making big money to feel represented and the data change; unfortunately, we are still underrepresented.

It’s a wrap! Today, officially, I end my first film market as a film producer 🤩 It feels natural to introduce myself as a film producer, not a CEO, not a president, not a founder, but a film producer with many tools in her toolkit. I have to say I am also a CEO, an entrepreneur, and a founder, but for this film market, I was the film producer of Yankee Go Home. Many said the film didn't have a future, and many others were curious about it. This is how it goes: You will always find people telling you you can’t, and that’s not a good idea. You will find others who love the story and want to see you thrive. This has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the other person and their perception, so don’t take it personally and keep going. Thank you to the lovely people I met, connected with, and had meetings with, and who shared a little of their time and advice with me. The next stop is American Film Market; I’ll be there from the 6th to the 9th. If you are there, say hi 👋🏾 And btw these are the iconic steps you see on the red carpet at the Cannes Fim Festival every year. Someone asked me why I am not in front of the camera 😆 watch out

There has been much reflection these past weeks about my life and career. I would have never considered what I would accomplish in only one year. Most people say, “I want this,” or “It would be nice to achieve this,” but never put themselves to work, while others live to make things happen. I am the second type of person; I make things happen, but I have to say it’s challenging to hold a vision that doesn’t exist, especially when you want to change careers and think you are too old to start from scratch. But I needed to try and decided to become a film producer at 40. Plus, I am a busy mom of two small girls. What I heard: 🔴 It’s a tough time to insert yourself in the film industry. 🔴 It would help if you started from the bottom. 🔴 It would help if you grew your network so they can help you. 🔴 No one is hiring at this moment. I listened quietly to their advice, taking what served me and throwing the rest in the trash while I built my vision and where I wanted to be in one year. I worked on my mindset every single day. It’s my job to hold space for other filmmakers dying to make it into this industry, but they keep facing a wall and don’t seem to make it right. They feel disappointed and sad and think no one believes in their ideas and talent. I have been there. The truth is that people won’t believe in you until you prove them wrong, and for me to protect myself from all the noise, I was part of, and I am, up to this day, part of amazing communities where they lift me up. I am building a community where you feel inspired and happy and can dream big enough to reach the stars. The doors are open to join Filmpreneurship Network, where you will find the support, community, and inspiration to keep going. I am with you every step of the way. Link to join in the comments.

The problem is that you know how to make a film but don’t know how to sell it, and the more you try, the more confused you get. And I get it. You are ready to leave everything behind because it feels like you are throwing sh!t at the wall, and it’s not working. You feel frustrated, confused, and nervous that you will end up with a film no one will see. You have run Ads for your film, followed every post with advice on Facebook groups, and followed successful filmmakers to see if they share relevant information. You have also searched and watched every video on YouTube. And you keep feeling the same. This is why I have created Filmpreneurship Network, a membership program where you learn the business and marketing side of filmmaking. You will learn not only how to promote your film but also how to make money with it and elevate your brand with it. There are not many programs like this, and not only that, but you will also find the support and the community where you can dream big. If you think about it, 1.5k, 6k, or 36k USD are nothing compared with the amount of money you can get for your film career. You will learn some skills that will make you millions.

We had a great training yesterday inside FN - Roadmap to Film Funding. What would it be Filmpreneurship Network without giving you the tools to structure your funding strategy?

I have closed great deals for the films I have worked on, and today, I want to share with you 3 tips about finding the money. 🌟 When reaching out to a connection who might be interested in your film; keep it sweet and simple.
