The Film Industry Reset
Film work is demanding. You deserve tools that match that.
The Film Industry Reset is a fully bespoke 1:1 training programme for film and creative professionals. Five sessions built around the real conditions of your work — the pressure, the uncertainty, the emotional load, and the pace of the industry.
What It Is
Film work places specific and often unacknowledged demands on the people doing it.
The long hours. The uncertainty that is built into every project. The emotional intensity of the work itself. The pressure that producers, directors, editors, coordinators, and crew carry — often without support, often without language for what they are experiencing.
These are not generic stressors. They are specific to the structure and culture of this industry. And they have very real, very predictable effects on the nervous system.
After years of working with film professionals and running workshops at Berlinale, Locarno, Vienna Film Festival, When East Meets West, Talent Labs Vienna, and European Media — one thing became clear. People are not struggling because they are ill-equipped. They are struggling because nobody ever gave them an accurate picture of what their work is doing inside them — or the tools to work with it.
This programme exists to change that.
Who It Is For
Producers, directors, editors, coordinators, and crew at any stage of their career
Emerging talent navigating the specific pressures of early career in the industry
Anyone in a creative or production role carrying more than they can name
Film professionals who have tried other support and found it too generic to actually help
People preparing for a demanding production or recovering from one
How It Works
Psychological profile — before you begin
A structured assessment that gives Katherine a clear picture of your patterns, your nervous system tendencies, and the specific pressures you are carrying. Included in the programme. This is where your programme is born.
5 bespoke 1:1 sessions — online, available internationally
Katherine teaches you directly, clearly, and with deep familiarity with your industry. Each session covers a specific subject — how your nervous system responds to the conditions of film work, why certain situations lead to spiralling or shutdown and how to interrupt them, how to stay grounded in high-pressure conversations and fast-changing situations, how to create genuine recovery within a production schedule, and how to manage yourself across the full arc of a production.
Every session comes with exercises, reflections, and tools to work with. You build a personal programme book as you go — specific enough to use on set, in the edit suite, and in development.
What you take away
- A personal psychological profile
- A dedicated programme book built around your work and your industry
- Tools specific enough to use in real production conditions
- A personalised resilience plan designed around your next project
- Practical strategies you can use immediately
What Actually Changes
A completely different relationship with the uncertainty that is built into this work
Better regulation in high-pressure conversations and fast-changing situations
Real recovery between productions instead of arriving at the next one already depleted
A more sustainable relationship with work you love
Tools specific enough to actually use — on set, in the edit suite, in development, in the room
