  • 2 paid tiers: one price for access, another for proximity. Worth copying once you know which members want more of you.
  • The price is only shown after you click through. Hiding it is a choice: it filters for people already sold on the owner.

The one-liner

A filmmaking community helping visual storytellers find their voice using the equipment they already own.

What they actually sell

Filmmaking Fundamentals, run by Jonas Marcel, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "A community for visual storytellers to develop their craft, find their voice, and tell stories with the equipment they own, no experience required." A free tier sits at the front door, with Premium and VIP upgrades whose prices are not shown on the public page. The page promises help to master visual storytelling, develop a personal style and voice, and turn ideas into real work for big and small screens. Inside sit 13 courses and a dense module library. A formal money-back promise is not spelled out on the about page.

Who pays and why

Visual storytellers who love cinema but do not know where to start. The frustration is lots of ideas and no finished films. They join for craft development and help finding their own voice.

Where the members come from

Jonas Marcel's YouTube, Instagram and website presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work. Exact follower counts stay off the public page.

What's holding it back

Creative communities need finished work. Without regular challenges, members may only talk.

Steal this

Tell members to start with the gear they already own.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for other creative crafts such as photography. Weak for gear-heavy hobbies.

Eric Young

From Skool
“Before working with Jonas, I had some skills, but I wasn't sure what I should spend my time to focus on. From the first onboarding call, he provided so much clarity, and I realized that I was further along than I thought, which was inspiring. He helped me find my artistic voice, and threw fuel on my creative flame. He showed me the 20% that I should focus on that gave me the 80% of success, and the accountability I needed to finish things. Now I have my own video marketing agency. Thanks Jonas!”
