Hi, my name is Monica.
I’m the creator and an executive producer of Surf Girls, which made history as the first women’s sports documentary on Prime Video.Â
I've been featured by the Emmys, Forbes, and Elle Magazine, among others.
I’ve developed, created, directed, produced, shot, and edited films and series for companies including Nike, Vans, The Olympics, Red Bull, Skydance Sports, Hello Sunshine, and TOGETHXR.
I’ve collaborated with celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Gabrielle Union, as well as Olympic athletes like Alex Morgan, Sue Bird, Chloe Kim, and Simone Manuel to bring my branded, commercial, film & TV concepts to life.
Plus, I’ve been invited to speak and teach at leading film schools and journalism programs in the country including University of Southern California, Chapman University, Loyola Marymount University, San Diego State University, San Francisco State University, and Brentwood High School in Los Angeles.
But it wasn’t always like this...
Let me take you back to 2020 – a year that changed everything for me.
I got laid off from my entry-level video editing job without any explanation….
I found myself at a crossroads.
Option A: Play it safe.
Find another corporate job.Â
Stable paycheck.
Benefits.Â
Or Option B: Go all-in on my filmmaking dreams.Â
No safety net. No guaranteed income.
The "risky" choice that makes family members worry and friends question you.
I chose Option B – and went ALL IN on filmmaking.
I didn't just dip my toes in the water.
I dove headfirst into the deep end.
I downgraded my apartment to slash my rent.Â
I cut every unnecessary expense. I picked up part-time gigs when I needed to stay afloat.Â
And I poured EVERY. SINGLE. REMAINING. HOUR into building my body of work.
Just pure, focused determination.
Was it easy?
Absolutely not.
I quickly understood how hard it is to make it in this business…
Needless to say I faced lot of uncertainty and rejection.
My emails went unanswered.Â
And I started questioning my choices.
Because I was barely getting by…
I didn’t know where my rent was coming from and I had so many bills overdue…Â
None of my projects were being funded…
Even the ones that were, it was just a couple thousand dollars…
But I am grateful for the journey that I’ve had
Because…
Each "no" forced me to re-evaluate, adapt, and find a better way forward.Â
Every day was a new learning curve…Â
Every project, small or big meant that I was moving closer to my filmmaking dream.
Fast forward to 2025, I am living that dream, working with the biggest companies in the industry, like Prime Video, Nike Global, Red Bull, and the Olympics.
And I knew this was the story I was gonna tell one day…
And I am telling you that story right now.
Look, it’s almost unbelievable to me that I was able to do this…Â
Someone without any industry connections, a family of media moguls, or a film degree
If I can do it, anyone can…Â
And yes, you can do this too…

I spent the last decade in the film industry. I made a lot of mistakes. All the mistakes in the world. It cost me x y z. And then I invested at least x learning from top mentors, attending seminars, workshops. Th eknowledge and info in the course is something I've ained over the last decade working with some of hte biggest names in the industry. It's convenient for me to price this course for $3000 because this is powerful info that can take anyone from an idea about a film to making it funding I and selling it just like it has done for my students like x y z. If you look at other coaches abd metor in the industry their course are 1500 but becaus you know me, engaged with my content, I'm going to price it at $495.
