LOOK INSIDE
I didn't build CHQ out of theory. I built my own studio first, alone, with no spare time and a lot of spreadsheets. I turned everything that worked into five tools that make it possible for me to develop, produce, distribute and sell my own films without losing momentum. Now, I'l giving the tools to you.
1
The storytelling space your audience keeps coming back to.
2
Build the film finance and sales plans that generate investment and income.
3
Connect to your CRM to find the collaborators who can join your projects.
4
Build the extra revenue streams that help your studio expand, like rooms in a house.
5
Track every income stream side by side, and watch a share of each one build the fund that pays for your next project.
6
Quickly create content to engage and grow your online audience.

Clinic Take-Overs with Industry Leaders
Â
Every week, we meet with our producers online to talk, answer questions and compare notes on how each of us are finding solutions to the challenges of building independent studios that can develop, producer, distribute and sell on their own terms.Â
Your company runs on your hours. When you stop, the money stops. A weekend off doesn't fix that, because the problem isn't effort. The problem is deeply imbedded in how the industry has always exploited creative minds.Â
Data from Stephen Follows and Phil Hunt's year-long study of film finance. Read the full research at StephenFollows.com.
The industry now wants you to develop the work, make the work and sell the work. That's twenty full-time jobs, and you're one person.
The producers pulling ahead aren't working harder than you. They're not better connected or luckier. They put a system underneath the work, so the studio keeps moving without them powering every piece of it.
And if you feel behind, you're in good company. Plenty of our producers with films in cinemas feel exactly the same.
"You're not a producer. You're a studio-in-miniature."
I used to think a studio meant more projects. It doesn't. It means fewer, better-chosen ones, each with more than one way of earning.
I think of it like a house. Each room is an income stream: film, digital, membership, subscribers, merchandise. The foundations are your world: what you stand for, and why people follow you. You build the foundations first, then add rooms one at a time until the house pays for itself.

Hi, I'm Charlotte!
I'm Charlotte Knowles. I built Tough Crowd into a studio that develops, produces and distributes its own feature films, podcasts and digital media, without waiting for gatekeepers.
CreativeHQ started because producers asked me to share the way I work. I built every funnel, post and system myself, for myself - at Creative HQ I share the tools and systems that I use myself and I introduce producers to my own financier network. I built this all as a mum of two with no spare time, so if I can do it, you can. Over 300 producers have since joined to grow their studios.
I'm a chronic oversharer, so I will show you the bank statements, the contracts and everything in between. If something made us five grand, you'll hear five grand, not five million.
Sasha Damjanovski built Creative HQ with me and coaches our producers. He has more than 30 years of experience writing, directing and producing film, TV, theatre and commercials. He's an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins (UAL) and works regularly with the NFTS. He is also a the easiest person to talk to, an incredible emotional support and definitely the person you want in your corner when this industry get's too much.Â

QUESTIONS
If you develop and produce screen or live work, yes. The systems are the same whether you make features, docs, TV or immersive.
Yes, if you're serious about building it. You need one project you care about and the appetite to build a business around it.
Studio System gives you every tool, the full library of past webinars and workshops to watch any time, and one clinic a month. Producer adds every live webinar and workshop, weekly clinics, two Meet The Investors events a year and the full community.
No, and anyone who promises you that is selling something. What we guarantee is the system, the community and the rooms. What you build with them is yours.
CHQ Producer members are invited to two Meet The Investors events a year.
Yes, on both plans. The full library of past webinars and workshops is in the members' area from day one. Joining them live is part of CHQ Producer.
About two hours a week: one clinic plus a little work on the tools. If you've got more, you'll move faster.
