Solo Director coaching with Dutch Jackson

Stop watching tutorials.
Finish your first AI film.

Who you're working with

Coaching from someone
who finishes films.

I'm Dutch Jackson. I make Strange Fruit, a full AI drama series, by myself. 11 books on Amazon, music videos, commercials for real businesses and a monetized YouTube channel. Everything I teach, I use every week on my own films.

Why AI films don't get finished

It's not your creativity.
It's the process.

  • Faces keep changing

    The same character looks like a different person in every shot, so it reads fake.

  • Lips don't sync

    The dialogue and the mouth never quite line up.

  • Credits disappear

    You burn money on clips that don't cut together.

  • No plan

    Without a shot list the project dies around shot 6.

  • Too many tools

    Kling, Seedance, image models, voices: you don't know which one to use when.

  • Nobody to ask

    Tutorials don't answer your question about your scene.

I've already made every one of these mistakes. You don't have to.

Your coach

A filmmaker first.
Not just an AI prompter.

I've spent more than 15 years working across video production, editing, cinematography, drone production, music production and visual storytelling.

I created Strange Fruit, a Black supernatural horror anthology made with AI-assisted filmmaking, and I built the Solo Director workflow to make it.

In our sessions I'll show you the same decisions I make on my own films, applied to yours.

Step 1

The 2-minute
questionnaire.

Tell me about your film. I read every one before we talk, so our call goes straight to your project.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need experience?

No. The 60–90 second First Film is built for beginners. You need a computer and a few hours a week.

What does the AI cost?

You'll use your own accounts. Expect roughly $20–60 in generations for a 60–90 second film. Done With You includes up to $300 of credits.

Can I make a longer film?

Yes, after your first one. First Film covers 60–90 seconds and Done With You covers 2–5 minutes. Anything longer gets a custom quote.

What if I fall behind?

Life happens. If you need to pause, the clock pauses with you. The guarantee covers the timeframe when you keep up with the assignments.

When are sessions available?

Weekdays between 10am and 4pm Central time, booked at least 24 hours ahead. The calendar shows times in your own time zone.

Is the course still free?

Yes, the full Solo Director course is free on YouTube. Coaching is for when you want it finished, faster, with someone in your corner.

Can I make a film for my business?

Yes. That's exactly what Done With You is for: a brand film, commercial or trailer you can actually use.

Your film doesn't have an expiration date.
Your excuses should.

Two minutes to tell me about it. Thirty days to finish it.
