For anyone who's ever felt like their experience was story-worthy, but didn't know where to start.

 
The Authentic Story Framework is your free creative journal for finding out.

No spam. Just your guide, delivered straight to your inbox.

This isn't just for filmmakers.

Ever tried to journal and gave up five minutes in?
 
Most of us have. The blank page feels like a test — and nobody told us what we're supposed to be writing.
 
This guide works differently. Instead of asking you to write, it asks you to remember. Five prompts. Real questions. The kind that unlock things you didn't know you were carrying.
 
You don't have to be a writer. You don't have to be a filmmaker. You just have to have lived something.

Your story doesn't need to become a film. It doesn't need to become anything. It just needs to come out.
 
That's what this guide is for.

Here's what you'll work through:

  • Prompt 01: The Story You've Been Carrying — Uncover what you've been holding back and why it matters
  • Prompt 02: The Moment That Changed Everything — Find the scene at the center of your story
  • Prompt 03: The Message Inside the Story — Clarify what you're really trying to say, and who needs to hear it
  • Prompt 04: The Version Only You Can Tell — Understand what makes your perspective irreplaceable
  • Prompt 05: Your Last Frame — Land on the feeling you want to leave behind
Each prompt comes with writing space and two guiding questions. No experience required. No right answers.

A note from the founder

I created this guide because I believe everyone has a story to tell, whether they're a "creative" or now. (note: we're ALL creatives). 

Before the foundation, I was just sitting in a Mickey D's parking lot wondering why I drank so much. That led to a short film. The film led to a room full of strangers who became, in one evening, a community.

Your story has that same potential. Even if right now it just lives on a page.
