TrailBlazer classes are starting again in January and we meet once a month for 5 months in my home in Oxnard, about an hours drive from L.A. I can only take 9 in each class and want to have two classes so if you miss one you can make it up with the other class, or with me personally. Five months can take you a long way towards your goals and working with a group of dedicated filmmakers will keep you moving forward more than you can imagine. We work on all aspects of funding.

I use information from both of my books, The Art of Funding and The Art of Manifesting: Creating Your Future, which teaches you how to attract what you want. Some of the concepts in my book are similar to the information in the film, “The Secret.”

My goal is to empower you and your mind to create your art. We work on practical things and we get into Dr. Bruce Lipton’s concepts that your beliefs create your biology. We do meditations that take us back to the womb to overwrite any negative information we received while our mothers were carrying us. There is a lot to do to open our minds and hearts to receive the funding, people and things necessary to complete our films.

If you are making a film, we will work with this outline:

Monthly focus	Art Projects	Mentors	Homework
5 months Goals	Visual of future	Michele Blood	Proposals Perfected
Action List	Art for Proposal	Caroline Myss	Practice Pitches
Money, Money	One sheet of Film	M. Warshawski	Direction of Funding
Staying on Track	Personal audio tape	Eckhart Tolle	Funding Party
Celebrating Success	Create Visual collage	Deepak Chopra	Power in completion

You can sign up for the class by going to the store and paying on line. I will immediately email you to get a date for the first session. I need to see all of your materials, read your proposal, see any promo tapes, etc so I am completely on top of your project.

TrailBlazer’s Class in Oxnard is a strong support group where we create our futures using the art of attraction and the laws of manifestation and we focus on the practical work to achieve our goals.

Together we give each other suggestions, advice and confidence because we know that this is our natural birth right. We are living at the most exciting time in history, the digital revolution. As long as you know what you want to achieve in 5 years and 5 months, I can help you achieve your goals.

The cost is $65.00 per session, 5 months commitment. If you pay for the full amount in advance it is $325.00 and if you want to pay monthly it is $80.00 per class and you need to pay for first and last months class at the beginning.

Be bold, be brave,
Stay ahead of the wave.

The most important part of funding is your mind. Getting control of it and using it to visualize your future and stay in the now without dragging your past around with you is the first step in creating your future.

We discuss new findings in quantum physics, how the mind works, how to visualize, we create audios to make our lives easier and focus on how to live each day in joy while making a film. This is not a dichotomy, it can be done!

Each meeting we listen to guides and masters and we use their brilliance to move us to a higher consciousness. Dr. Chopra teaches us how to create our future, Carolyn Myss explains the importance of self esteem, Fred Alan Wolf’s books teach us how to use our minds to create our futures and Eckhart Tole will keep us in the “now” so we can focus on our futures.

The first week I need to know your purpose and where you want to be in 5 years and in 5 months. We make an outline of what you want and what’s needed to get you there and work together to successfully create your future.

If you are a filmmaker, I will help you create your proposals and pitches to incorporate your 5 year goals and your purpose as a filmmaker. Funders and investors want to know you are a long-term investment and we must tell them this on paper and in person with our words. Words are sacred and we will respect them and use those words that clearly define our work, our hearts and our purpose.

Getting your proposals to the highest level possible is our next goal. Once you know your purpose as a filmmaker and have your mind set on your 5 year goals we can easily create award winning proposals and pitches that touch hearts, which is what you need to raise money. These are our foundation, the pitch and the proposal and your purpose as a fimmaker. The group will work together and support each other. When you pitch me you will pitch the group and we will all give you loving feed back. When you win, we all win. There is power in numbers and I want you to use your power to power each other.

We do visualizations together and you can record me and use them Part of the TrailBlazer class is a free CD for manifesting. By listening to it frequently you will find your life changing. You will be happier, problems will begin to solve themselves, your confidence will increase and you will find yourself attracting just what you want in your life.

These five months together should see you clearly on your path to your 5 year goals. Filmmakers will work on funding ideas based on each person’s project. You can be in any place with your film and join the class. You can be researching, filming or in post. It is your commitment that is important to me; you must be committed to your project and be ready to stay with the class for 5 months. Together we can take your film to a much higher level.

Testimonials:
The Trailblazers Class is fantastic! It was both uplifting to be in a group of like-minded filmmakers and life-changing to be guided by Carole Dean. This class is for anyone needing a mental cleansing and positive push towards excellence.—Alison Wolf

"Carole Dean's Trailblazer class was literally an answer to prayer. Carole's experience in the industry, teaching ability, hospitality, and heart for the independent filmmaker provided the additional encouragement and motivation I needed to continue moving forward with my next feature film." --Marc Anthony Massimei

"Just one meeting has sent me in a new direction with strength and passion. My planning stages have evolved and my projects are growing, the joy of manifesting is truly the payoff." --Sheryl Dolley

"Beforehand, I expected the class would only be about "hard skills" such as how to write a proposal, prepare a budget, or cut a promo trailer. The class was more about a filmmaker’s frame of mind, manifesting their future, and opening up to the possibilities of the universe. Instead of being disappointed, I was delighted. This was a much more important and difficult thing to learn. Carole certainly deliverrs resources needed to accomplish the concrete tasks at hand - she and her colleagues are extremely generous in passing on information. It is the lessons on manifesting our films that have made all the difference! On the eve of our last class, shooting is almost complete and I am working at a studio editing a promotional trailer with more content than I ever thought possible! I am leaps closer to finishing my film!" --Keri Kukral

"Carole Dean is a unique soul who opens her heart and her home. She teaches love, success and film with a vision toward the future. Trailblazers helped me grow as an artist, businessman and a person. It was a wonderful, inspirational and educational experience that I will never forget. I am extremely grateful." --Ernest Malcolm Alvarado
