the build bundle
take control of your creative career and your stories
All of the tools you need for developing your writing craft, pitching your tv/film projects, making your work, and strategizing for a long-lasting career.
Hey, I’m Felicia
I am a TV writer / producer and an award-winning filmmaker (BEL-AIR, GREY’S ANATOMY, QUEEN SUGAR, REALLY LOVE). My career in media and entertainment has spanned almost twenty-five years. Prior to writing for the screen, my career included roles in marketing, distribution, impact, editorial, and education. From helping social justice organizations raise seven figures for media projects to assisting hundreds of filmmakers craft release strategies, I have been called a “swiss army knife” because of my unique, multifaceted experience as a storyteller, marketer, and entrepreneur.
I am committed to helping my fellow storytellers create great work and build sustainable careers. I have empowered thousands of historically excluded storytellers through my original platform, The Create Daily, which I founded in 2012, and now, currently through my newsletter The Sweet Build.
“I’m feeling empowered”
“This course is thorough in its breakdown of the short filmmaking process. As a multi-award-winning experimental filmmaker myself and a narrative multimedia artist, I left with valuable reminders, and most strikingly, a new mindset about fundraising. As a result, within two days of taking the workshop, I changed the direction of a casual conversation into a pitch, leaving with genuine interest from a potential financial source I wouldn’t have thought of beforehand. I’ll follow through, and I’m feeling empowered.”
-Pamela W.

You have big dreams for your Hollywood career.
But dreams aren’t enough. Neither is talent. Or discipline. And that’s where the frustration, anxiety, and instability sets in.
Here’s what they don’t tell you.
Long-lasting success as a writer requires strategy, savviness, and cheat codes.
After 10+ years in Hollywood, I’ve identified the major contributors to my success. And The Build Bundle focuses on five of them:
Perfecting Your Craft
2. Developing a Career Mission and Strategy
3. Learning How to Pitch Your Work
4. Making Your Own Work
5. Going After Opportunity
So I took everything I learned, gathered templates and samples directly from my career and have compiled them into The Build Bundle using the above five areas as a framework.

“The Make Your Short Film Intensive Master Class is AMAZING!”
“It inspired me to think deeply about my why, lens, and process as a storyteller. The course prompted me to ask myself questions: “What do I want to say?” “Why is this piece important to me?” “What about the piece will resonate with my intended audience?” Felicia does an excellent job of looking at the short film process from the big picture down to micro moments at every level from pre to post production with samples, references, and referrals that are appealing, clear, and digestible without gatekeeping and remaining transparent about her own experiences. I would highly recommend taking any course with her and her team.”

“you can’t beat it”
“The Based On course was engaging and motivational, and it left me feeling empowered. Neither Felicia nor Driadonna held back on sharing information. They obviously want all the participants to succeed. I learned what I didn't know I needed to know, and you can't beat that. This course is a must for every person who's ever thought about adaptations.”
