"David is my consigliere. I have been more productive in the last month than I've been in the entire last decade."

His experience level on various assets of the film business and his client base gives me great confidence to include him in my small circle of trusted advisors.

"With David, I finished my screenplay all the way to 'Fade Out."
Â
“Without David Brownstein’s coaching I would have had another half-written project on the pile. Without him, I would have lost my way, and stayed lost. David’s more than a coach, he’s magic. Working with David has been the gift to myself that will keep on giving throughout the rest of my life.”

The rollercoaster of the creative process, navigating industry shifts, big picture direction to catapult your career, and the nitty gritty details to offer the clarity and confidence you need to see those big dreams actually cross the finish line.Â

Who typically hires a career coach in Hollywood?
Creatives above and below the line, in addition to CEOs, execs, and HR leaders looking to more effectively manage creative teams of powerful, talented leaders.
Can career coaching help me transition into new roles (e.g., actor → director)?
Nothing provides clarity in career transition like coaching can. My clients seek my guidance when navigating (or, considering taking the leap to navigate) new roles when they want targeted, specific direction from a Hollywood leader who’s been there, hiked that career move, and lived to tell the tale.Â
If you’re making a career change, book a call with me so I can help you find clarity in your new direction.Â
