Kaia Alexander and EBS entered my life at a time when I knew next to nothing about the entertainment industry. Now I can confidently and competently enter into any room and sell myself, and my brand, negotiate a fair deal, and maintain great relationships. I’m more than fully equipped to take this industry by storm and it’s all thanks to Kaia. She is the Obi-Wan to my Luke Skywalker. What’s better, she’ll be here at every step I take. Entertainment Business Mastery or School are among the best courses out there. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Start Today – Self-Paced. No Pressure. High Impact On Your Career Trajectory.

This is your chance to get industry insider knowledge to make your movie — without needing to wait for the answers you need to accelerate your greenlight path, or take any live classes. If you’re ready to go pro, this is your playbook.

You’ll learn how to stealth pitch, raise money, negotiate, and move from stalled to strategic. But no coaching or wolfpack community is included — this is a solo sprint.

Get all the EBS core curriculum courses – for a fraction of the price.

HOW IT WORKS:

The Entertainment Business School is a 12-month immersive experience, modeled like a top-tier graduate program — but with one crucial difference: you get direct access to a real Hollywood buyer, every single week.

We run on a 3-semester structure:

  • 🎓 Semester 1: Sept–Nov
  • 🎓 Semester 2: Jan–Mar
  • 🎓 Semester 3: May–July
  • 🌱 Integration Break Months: Dec, Apr, Aug (catch-up, apply, and reflect)

That means you’re getting >9 full months of live classes with Kaia — a former development executive who’s sold screenplays, pitched to every major buyer in town, and consulted with CEOs, Oscar winners, and A-list creatives.

✨ Most similar programs charge $2,500 for just 6 weeks. Kaia’s private consulting runs $25,000+ per day. Here? You get weekly live access — for a fraction of that.

📅Your Monthly Rhythm

Each active semester month includes up to 6 live sessions with Kaia and the worldwide wolfpack:

  • 🧠 Workshop Spotlight – Group coaching (2–3 students coached live)
  • 💬 Theme Talk + AMA – Deep dive on that month’s course module
  • Reel Action Lab – Hands-on implementation (loglines, bios, decks)
  • 🌍 Global Mixer – Casual connection with peers (rotating time zones)
  • 🐺 Wolfpack Den – Peer-led accountability, hosted by our Ambassadors

📺 All teaching sessions are held live on Zoom at 10AM PT, with replays in the Vault. (Mixers and Wolfpack Den accountability sessions are not recorded to preserve authenticity.)

EBS Core Syllabus:

Orientation

It all starts here. Discover Kaia’s insider strategy to finally find your wolfpack and make your movie — with a full overview of the program, and how to get the most out of your time at EBS.

Business101

Entertainment Business Landscape

The global landscape of film/TV is changing rapidly. Kaia examines the current state of the business. What are your most valuable career advantages, how do you cultivate them, and position yourself to win at showbusiness? Do you need a production company? When? How do you protect your ideas.? How does money flow through the film/TV industry? Who should be in your Wolfpack™? What are the studios and streamers? What are the real roles of agents, managers, attorneys, publicists, and producers — and how do you find the right ones for you?

Vision Strategy

Vision, Strategy & Mindset

There are many paths to making movies, but one unique path for you. Build your personal career map and learn the champion mindset of power and clarity. Real tools to help your mindset, address imposter syndrome, and be proactive about your mental health. We’ll bust through your blocks and upgrade your confidence, and get you on the path to making you movie, from the congruence of your deepest calling.

Branding

Branding

Your identity is undeniable, and the more you center it, the more you work. As you craft your brand from your core, you work more, and your talent is easier to recognize and back. From Shonda Rhimes to Judd Apatow, Issa Rae to Oprah, iconic creatives are also brilliant brands. In this course, you’ll craft your brand statement, and develop a visibility strategy that attracts your audience, reps, and ideal collaborators. Includes case studies and positioning exercises.

Community Building

Find Your Wolfpack™

Networking is working — and when you approach it from connection and collaboration, it’s fun and empowering. Learn how to write a standout bio, talk to anyone, send irresistible messages, and share your story with authenticity. You’ll also take fun personality tests, learn how to identify red flags from potential partners, and build lasting, reciprocal industry relationships. Your wolfpack!

Pitching

Stealth Pitch™

Students from EBS continue to use the Stealth Pitch technique to sell their TV shows, attach producers, and secure financing. It’s one of our signature, never-fail strategies. Effective and easy to remember, Kaia’s trademark pitch technique gives you a competitive edge — whether you’ve got 60 seconds strolling through your hotel lobby at Cannes, or a full hour pitching execs at a studio. Crafted from her experience financing major motion pictures as a Hollywood buyer, but translated for creatives like you, this original tradecraft method helps you connect, inspire, and always have a clear next step.

Screenwriting Publishing

Build Your Audience

If you want bigger deals, start with a bigger audience. You’ll learn how to create and grow a platform — including your website, social media presence, email list — to both connect with and support your fans, and appeal to buyers and execs.

Financing

Financing

How do you find investors? Talk to investors? What closes financing? What is soft money and how to you get access to it? When is it safe to share your idea? You’ll learn fundraising fundamentals, film incentives foundation, and what goes into a proper film budget — from above/below the line to insurance and deliverables. Distribution is key, what should you look for?

Negotiation

Creatives often undercharge, work for free, or leave the room with a bad deal. And execs know it. They know they have the upper hand. No more. You’ll learn how to negotiate your value, anchor conversations, and protect your interests. Know when to say “no,” how to walk away, and how to get paid what you’re worth — without burning bridges.

Money Deals

Deal Flow

This is how to build your legacy, how money really moves through the global film/TV industry. What’s a step deal? When do you get paid? Who gets a “back end”? What do credits mean — and who decides? This is not legal advice, but an education on the most common agreements you may encounter. We cover common contract elements, MOUs, option & shopping agreements, and your IMDB. Go from unknown to unforgettable- you too, will be in demand with deal flow.

BONUS MODULES

Reputation Management

Your reputation is currency. Learn how to grow it from scratch, protect it, and recover from nightmare setbacks. You’ll understand what publicists and crisis PR teams actually do — and how to make decisions now that support your long-term career success.

Money Deals

Conflict Resolution

This isn’t woo — it’s essential for de-escalating situations you will encounter in every production, especially for above the line: producers, showrunners, directors. You’ll learn how to navigate conflict under pressure, resolve issues with clarity, and stay in integrity during tough conversations. Includes emotional intelligence tools, language strategies, and real stories from inside the industry.

I.P., Adaptations & Publishing

Whether you’re adapting a novel or pitching your own book, this module covers agents, proposals, shopping agreements, and more. You’ll learn how to acquire, option, and position I.P. for producers — and how to control your own narrative across multiple platforms.

🎯Real Results from the EBS Wolfpack

Our students don’t just dream.

They sell. staff. shoot. sign.

They go pro — for real. They don’t suffer waiting, or in confusion over why their biggest dreams are stalling. They are going for it!

Here’s just a tiny glimpse of what’s happened inside our community. EBS students and alums have:

  • Landed literary managersfrom a cold queries and referrals
  • Sold a TV showto a major streamer
  • Got their scripts read by Netflix execs
  • Received a warm handoff to a top agent
  • Headed to Canneswith features they wrote, starred in and produced
  • Greenlit their first feature— now in production
  • Financed and completed multiple short films
  • Attached a name directorto their project
  • Got invited to Oscar partiesby a guest speaker
  • Signed with entertainment attorneys
  • Optioned dream I.P.— and pitched it like a pro
  • And yes —staffed on TV series

And our EBS alumni?

They’ve got credits on TV shows you know like:

Westworld. This Is Us. The Goldbergs. Better Call Saul. iCarly. Grey’s Anatomy. Mythic Quest. Alias. Silicon Valley. American Odyssey. NCIS. Good Girls. Borgia.

This is what happens when creatives get the insider strategy and support they’ve always deserved.

🟨 VALUE COMPARISON #1: Private Coaching vs. EBS

You could hire me privately for $25,000/day + 2% of capital raised (yes, that’s my real rate — I’m hired by venture-backed founders and celebrities). Or you can spend a year with me in EBS, with monthly live access, a proven curriculum, and a global community — for  less than one red carpet dress or a week in Cannes…

You could build a career that actually gets you invited.

✅ $25K/day private rate

✅ $100K buyout option for corporate clients

✅ $2,500 for just 6 weeks of training from other industry programs that offer no wolfpack community

→ You get 100+ hours of training, 9 months of live sessions, and full access to my insider strategy — for a fraction of the cost.

EBS tuition: $199/month

🎓Film School vs. EBS

 

Film school tuition: $60,000–$120,000+

And still? Most grads never learn the business side. They come out with a short film and a mountain of debt — no sales skills, no deal flow, and no financial independence.

EBS gives you what film school doesn’t:

  • Industry strategy taught by a former Hollywood buyer
  • Insider knowledge about pitching, dealmaking, and negotiation
  • A real-world wolfpack to collaborate with — on your next film, short, or proof of concept

 

💡 EBS Tuition: $199/month

And no student loans. No gatekeeping. No hype. Just tools that work.

💸Your Return on Investment

Even just one of these outcomes in your career could pay for the entire program.

What You Gain Real-World Value
Land your first paid job in film/TV $5,000–$20,000+
Option or sell a script $10,000–$100,000+
Attach a director or cast $10,000+ value in traction + financing
Secure an investor or grant $15,000–$250,000
Build a monetizable audience or brand $25,000–$100,000 lifetime revenue
Pitch that lands a meeting with a buyer or rep Potentially career-changing
Get introduced to an IP holder Value of owning I.P.? Priceless
Find your dream collaborators (your Wolfpack!) Creative sustainability + shared production
Avoid one major legal or reputational mistake $25,000+ in loss prevention

🎯 EBS Pays for Itself If You:

  • Get paid for just onescript, short, or production
  • Land a rep who gets you staffed or sold
  • Raise your first round of funding or grant
  • Make the rightindustry connection (one guest invited a student to Oscar parties!)
  • Avoid just onecareer-derailing mistake most creatives make

Your investment:

💥 $199/month billed annually

🧠 Less than the cost of a new iPhone… for a career education that could earn you 6-figures or more.

Writer & Producer

I’ve invested a lot of time and money into growing my career and by far, the Entertainment Business School has been the most beneficial. Kaia’s course goes beyond ‘teaching’ – it’s transformative. For anyone looking to demystify this business, then this is the program for you. And for those creatives who break out in hives at the mere thought of contracts, negotiating, financing, you name it, this program is essential. It gives you the language, the tools and most importantly, the power to take control of your career.

100 satisfaction guaranteed

100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

We’re confident in what we teach because it works. That’s why we offer a commitment-based guarantee — not a “dabble and bail” policy.

Because you get immediate access to our full course library, community, and materials upon enrollment, we do not offer “change of mind” refunds.

However, if you’re an action-taker, and you complete the core program and don’t feel you’ve gained clarity, traction, or value:

We’ve got your back.

If you request a refund within the first 30 days of your enrollment, you’re eligible — provided you’ve completed all of the following:

✅ Watched all 9 core training modules

✅ Attended all live classes from your first month

✅ Participated in the community and pods

✅ Implemented the strategies taught (e.g. revised pitch, bio, website, or outreach materials)

If you’ve genuinely done the work and still feel you didn’t grow, we’ll process your refund — no hard feelings.

If you’ve done the above work and you’re still not seeing value, we’ll give you a full refund. That’s how confident we are in what you’ll walk away with.

⚠️ Please do not enroll if you plan to travel, ghost, or coast through the program.

This experience is for serious creatives who want to go pro — not spectators.

🌍 Life happens?

If you face a true emergency (e.g. force majeure, life-threatening illness), you won’t lose what you’ve invested on a pro-rated basis for your time with us — but we don’t offer open-ended refunds due to personal planning conflicts.

**

If you don’t take action on your career, what we know for sure is you’ll be stuck where you are right now in one year. Is that where you want to be? Or will you say “yes” to greenlighting yourself and join the wolfpack in EBS?
