I WANT TO BUILD MY SIDE DOOR

Your Training Is Good. Your Reel Is Solid. You're Submitting Constantly.

So Why the Hell Aren't You Working?

Being a good actor isn't enough.You know it. I know it. Every working actor knows it. You've spent years (maybe decades) training. You've invested in headshots, classes, coaching, reels. You're on all the platforms. You're doing everything "right."

And still, crickets.

Meanwhile, actors with half your training are booking consistently.

What do they have that you don't?

They figured out what's REALLY missing (not what you THINK is missing) and how to get it.

Skills they need. Proof they can do the work. Connections to people who hire. Knowledge of how the business actually works.

Usually it's more than one.

Here's the Truth that Most Acting Teachers
Won't Tell You

Your training prepared you to act. It didn't prepare you to GET work. Those are two very different things. And they need very different skills.

You can build exactly what YOU need AND have the journey pay for itself while you do it.

That's exactly what The Curator Method does.

An Acting Career Is a
Ravenous Beast

New skills. New footage. New connections. New knowledge of how this business actually works.

It all costs money. Classes, workshops, coaching, headshots, reels. You pay for everything out of pocket while also paying rent. And everyone just assumes that's how it works.

After working with hundreds of actors, I can tell you: what you think is the problem almost never is. And the cost? It doesn't have to be that way

SHOW ME THE SIDE DOOR

I Rebuilt My Acting Career at 47 After a 16-Year Gap. Here's How I Did It.

Hey, I'm Anne.

In my mid-twenties, I was working as an actor in Chicago. I had my SAG health insurance. I didn't have to work a side gig. I thought I'd made it.

Things could only get better from here.

Then life happened. I fell in love with a German guy, moved to Munich, and started a family. Everything I'd built (my community, my momentum, my career) gone.

Fast forward to 47.

I really want to get back into acting but I'm rusty. I have no current footage. No contacts. And I'm an American living in Germany. My old path was gone.

But I knew ONE thing: if I was serious about relaunching my acting career, training would be the first thing I needed.

Nothing else would get my skills and confidence back to where they needed to be to do everything else that comes with actually working. But Munich isn't exactly a mecca for actors, especially non-German actors.

So I brought the training to me.

I found the coaches I wanted to learn from and organized workshops around what I actually needed. Other actors needed the same thing, so they came too.

We all learned. I got paid.

Within three months, I was bringing in two coaches a month. That brought in around €4,500 a month, and still fit into my life as a mom, wife, and VO actor.

By the end of that first year, I'd rebuilt my confidence, gotten over €12,000 worth of world-class training for free, and earned almost €50,000 doing it.

That became what I now call The Curator Method.

Once I realized it worked for training, I realized I could use it for ANYTHING I needed. I used it to get showreel material. I used it to build better relationships with casting directors.

Over the next 14 years, that approach led to working with studios like Netflix, Hallmark, and A24. I built relationships with a fantastic commercial agent. Casting directors started reaching out directly.

More importantly, I built a career that supports my life instead of competing with it.

I've been using this method for over 14 years to build my own career. But, teaching it to other actors? That's new. And watching what happens when actors get their hands on this? That's what keeps me going.

And now other actors are using it, too.

Anna Soibert

Organized a weapons workshop with a stunt coordinator who actually hires actors. Nine paying actors showed up. She got the training for free, built a relationship with someone who can hire her, AND earned income. After four workshops, she's now becoming the go-to person for actors who want stunt training in Germany.

Ingrid Margus

Organized a one-day casting workshop with three casting directors in Estonia. Twenty-seven actors showed up from four countries. She earned €3,500 in one day and built real relationships with those casting directors.

Kelly Moss

Organized an intimate stand-up workshop for women exploring comedy as healing. The workshop worked. She kept going. Now she hosts regular sessions AND built a creativity camp for kids. Two different income streams, both built around what she actually cares about.

I WANT TO CREATE MY SIDE DOOR

This Got Me Thinking...

What could I give you that goes way deeper than free YouTube advice... yet charge way, way less than my full Curator Academy program?

How could I teach you how to build your first curated event in the shortest amount of time?

That's what inspired me to create The Side Door Challenge.

Here's why I'm doing this:

My actual mission for 2026? Fully empower 100 actors to build their own access.

I'm done with actors feeling like they have to wait for permission. Done with the power imbalance that makes you feel like casting directors, agents, and producers are somewhere above you while you're down here hoping they notice.

The Curator Method puts you toe-to-toe and eye-level with the people you thought were out of reach.

The Curator Method works because you're solving your own problem first. You're not guessing what people want. You ARE the people who want it.

You figure out what you need. You bring in an expert who has it. You invite other actors who need the same thing. Everyone benefits. You get it free. You get paid.

So here's what I'm offering:

In just 5 days, I'll teach you how to get the training you need, build real connections, AND earn income while you do it… Following my proven Curator Method framework.

Before this, the only way to get access to this method was through my exclusive program, The Curator Academy, which costs $2,700 to enroll.

Now it's all yours for $27.

(And that doesn't even include the bonuses I'm throwing in. More on that soon.)

That's right.

For just $27, I'm giving you my step-by-step process and framework that I personally use for every curated event I organize...

And you'll get access to other actors who are building the same thing through our private Facebook Group.

The value of this challenge is $1,050 and, to be honest, my team said I was crazy to offer this at such a massive discount.

I might regret it later... But I'm doing it anyway. You deserve to build exactly what YOU need and have the journey pay for itself while you do it.

So if you're ready to stop guessing and start building...

The 5 Days That Turn "I Don't Know How to Connect the Dots" Into "I'm Ready to Start"

Every session runs live once a day at 7:00 PM CET.

Here's when that is for you:

  • London: 6:00 PM

  • New York (ET): 1:00 PM

  • Los Angeles (PT): 10:00 AM

Show up for yourself once a day. 90 minutes max, including any homework.

You won't just leave with ideas. You'll leave understanding exactly what's been keeping you stuck and what to do about it, not just once, but again and again. And yes, you get paid to do it.

FIGURE OUT WHAT'S ACTUALLY KEEPING YOU STUCK

After working with hundreds of actors, I can tell you: they're usually wrong about what is actually blocking them. We'll map what career you actually want and what's REALLY blocking you right now. By the end of Day 1, you'll know exactly what's been stopping you and what to do about it.

SEE WHAT’S MAKE YOUR HIRABLE FOR THE WORK YOU WANT

Want to work in action films? You might need stunt work, weapons training, fight choreography, or precision driving. Want more voice work? Maybe you need coaching in specific accents or genres. Or maybe you need to know more voice directors. We'll show you how to take the interests you have and figure out how to truly make them your own and integrate them into your career. This makes your branding bulletproof while giving you more ways to make connections and income through your craft.

MAP YOUR CAREER AND WATCH IT COMPOUND

One workshop won't change your career. But what if you did 12? Or 24? What would that look like for YOUR specific path? What I really do on Day 3 is help the people in the hot seat figure out all the missing pieces in their careers. Not just that first one, but the ones that will come up after they figure that out, and the one after that, too. New level, new devil. Day 3 helps you spot them ahead of time and be ready with a plan. You'll benefit immensely from watching the live coaching and seeing it get done in real time.

LEARN HOW TO STRUCTURE YOUR FIRST EVENT SO YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED

This is where most people get stuck. They have the idea but don't know how to make it real. You'll learn how to structure your first curated event so you get exactly what you need. Skills, proof, connections, knowledge. You help yourself and some of your actor friends (new and old) who need the same thing. Everyone gets what they need, you get the training for free, and you walk away with income. The actual structure. The real mechanics.

MAP YOUR NEXT 90 DAYS

Building Relationships Worth Way More Than €3,500

"Just wanted to thank you one more time for the final push to create my really own curator program in Estonia. The first event took place in 28.10 with 3 casting directors and 27 actors from Estonia, Finland, Ukraine and Canada. And one day before the event I received the letter we wrote during your workshop 90 days ago, read it after the workshop and I'm so so grateful that you gave me courage to make it all happen."

 — Ingrid Margus

Ingrid earned €3,500 in one day. But the real value? She built peer relationships with three casting directors who can hire her. She gained the credibility to create events like this whenever she wants. And she got training she used to pay for, now for free.

Here's What Others Say About Working with Me:

  • Jonathan Tison

    "Anne has provided me more help than I have ever gotten from a mentor or college course. What clicked for me during the challenge was realizing that if the workshop is something YOU would take, other actors will too. And the professional you invite knows how to run it, so you can let go of that part of the planning. I'm ready to plan my first workshop.”

  • Lamont James Brown

    "So much great, useful information! The strategies I learned in just the first two sessions are already getting results."

  • Kelly Moss

    "I just got booked for my first paid comedy gig, a few months after organizing a workshop through this program. Making this commitment to myself really boosted my confidence! I also placed well in a recent competition, where I performed a set that I'd refined in the workshop (only my third time ever at the mic)."

  • Katherine Sandberg

    "I had to go lie down in the middle of the class because I was like, oh, this could actually work for me. It's like having my foot be asleep and then trying to stand on it... oh, I have a shot at having a life that's authentic for me.”

  • Kehinde Olarinmoye, Actor/Voiceover Artist

    "You opened up my mind in terms of, okay, there's potential to create income in that sense. They nicknamed me the Super Connector, but I've never looked at it from a financial standpoint.”

  • Anna Soibert, Actor/Stunt Performer

    "You don't only get something, but you get a bag of things where you actually provide what you want with what you need."

  • Jacky Rowland

    "This challenge was packed with practical, implementable advice. I already have my next steps mapped out."

  • Elizabeth Leslie

    "Thank you, Anne. I am feeling more confident that I can be on the right path to success in my career."

  • Judith Shoemaker

    "I really liked having a little thing to do every day, and it was great that any questions that popped up were basically answered in the next session. I even saw results before the challenge was over!"

  • Ivona Stolzenburg

    "I didn't expect the amount of impact. Anne showed us so many details that I didn't even know existed. She fulfilled them more than I ever thought she would."

SHOW ME THE SIDE DOOR

Let's Address the Thing You're Probably Thinking

"What if nobody shows up?"
 Would YOU pay to attend this workshop? Then other actors will too.

"But I've never organized anything before."
 Neither had Ingrid. Or Anna. Or Kelly. You don't need experience. You just need to know what you want and be willing to figure it out. We'll show you how.

"What if people think it's weird?"
 They will. Good. Less competition for you.
