Only 2 days to go!

ACT for Filmmakers: Living Your Purpose Through Rejection, Uncertainty, and Creative Risk takes place this Friday at the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers.

Creative work often asks us to move forward without certainty. To keep creating despite rejection, self-doubt, perfectionism, setbacks, and fear.

This workshop will explore practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help filmmakers and creatives stay connected to what matters most while navigating the realities of the industry.

Looking forward to spending the morning with Calgary's creative community.

What keeps filmmakers from finishing projects?

Not a lack of talent.

Often:

Fear of failure
Fear of judgment
Fear of wasting time
Fear of not being good enough

Fear isn't the enemy.

Avoiding what matters because of fear is often where we get stuck.

What keeps you stuck: fear of failure, fear of judgment, self-doubt, or something else?

Rejection. Self-doubt. Perfectionism. Uncertainty.

If you're a filmmaker, writer, actor, producer, editor, or creative professional, you've probably encountered all of them.

The question isn't how to eliminate these experiences.

The question is: How do we continue creating meaningful work when they show up?

Join us for ACT for Filmmakers, a purpose-driven workshop exploring practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help creatives stay connected to what matters most.

Creative work asks a lot of us.

We put our ideas, stories, and ourselves out into the world knowing they may be rejected, criticized, ignored, or misunderstood. It's no surprise that self-doubt, perfectionism, uncertainty, and creative burnout can become part of the process.

ACT for Filmmakers is a practical workshop designed to help creatives stay connected to their purpose and values while navigating the realities of filmmaking and creative work. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we'll explore tools for working with difficult thoughts and emotions without letting them determine the direction of our lives or creative projects.

This workshop is for writers, directors, producers, actors, editors, and creatives who want to continue creating meaningful work—even when fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt show up.

This workshop introduces practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help filmmakers navigate those challenges while staying connected to what matters most.

The goal isn't to eliminate fear or uncertainty. The goal is to continue creating meaningful work even when they show up.
