2023 - 2026 | REMOTE
A 202-member global filmmaking community across 40 countries, all learning to turn stories into cinematic content. Two phases of the same story: first building the course, then building the community that turned it into a home.
The recap you see here is from the Lisbon meet-up. Six months of community building, one week on the ground in Lisbon. 20 members flew in from across Europe and the Atlantic. I organised the whole thing solo: a minibus tour through Sintra's most cinematic castle gardens and coasts, a co-working session, a group dinner, a workshop led by Niklas Christl, a boat party, and a pub crawl to close it. Everything on-brand, everything on-schedule, everything captured and cut.

COURSE CONTENT EDITOR
PHASE 01 | MAR 2023 - NOV 2025
Two years of my life inside the edit for Niklas Christl's Storytelling & Filmmaking course. 33 lessons, 9 modules, 27+ hours of runtime. Storytelling, script writing, shoot organisation, camera gear, cinematography, editing, animation, future strategies. My job: keep every lesson watchable without losing what made it worth watching. Delivered the course 95%+ launch-ready at handoff.

PHASE 02 | NOV 2025 - JUN 2026
A five-minute cut of six months inside Story Hero Academy. Weekly accountability calls, brainstorming sessions, Expert Workshops with the likes of Ed Lawrence, Uptin Saiidi, Luke Carter, Matias de Rada and Harrison Green. Plus a taste of the Lisbon trip cinematic. Sixty-one events, forty countries in the room, one community.
When the course launched, the role turned around. I began running the community day-to-day. Every event: captured, edited, published. Weekly accountability calls, Expert Workshops with guest filmmakers, monthly highlight reels. And when the systems start creaking, I build the Notion and SOPs that keep everything moving as the academy grows.

What started as a freelance travel content role with Christian LeBlanc evolved across two years into running the community, teaching the craft, and hosting the conversation. Three jobs at once, all feeding each other. Along the way, we racked up 10.4M+ YouTube views across 33 travel videos in 24 countries.
The trailer attached is for the Lost Creator Podcast which I Co-produced and hosted. 18 episodes, 125K+ views, guests including Project Nightfall (25M+ followers), Uptin Saiidi, Niklas Christl and a mix of creators still figuring out how to go full-time. We launched after the academy hit 3,500+ members and Lost LeBlanc crossed 2 million YouTube subscribers. Hosting taught me as much about filmmaking as most sets did.

The four-week YouTube Accelerator Programme I built inside LCA. Students went from concept to publish in four weeks: thumbnails and titles (week 1), story and shooting (week 2), post-production (week 3), post-publish analytics (week 4). Every week ended with a challenge and cohort feedback. Members joined the YouTube Partner Programme and made their first dollar within the month. A revenue-generating product for Lost LeBlanc, built and led by me.
Ran community and live events for Lost Creator Academy, Lost LeBlanc's filmmaking and online business programme for travel content creators.

Earlier Roots
Before the filmmaking deep-dive, the same instincts showed up in different rooms. St. Julian's School Summer Coordinator in Lisbon (Jun 2013), running activities for kids aged 5 to 12. Funky Monkey Pub Crawl Guide in Lisbon (Jun 2014 to Sep 2015), navigating multilingual groups of ~45 tourists through Bairro Alto in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Different rooms, same impulse: get people together, make it memorable, keep the show on the road.
