The Work I Do (and Why It Exists)

Most of what I build comes from the same place, watching creative people hit walls they shouldn’t have to hit. The tools, labs, and cohorts below all exist because I wanted to make the process of creating, earning, and evolving a little more doable.

I’ve lived that cycle myself: chasing projects, rebuilding from scratch, and learning how to bridge creative energy with real strategy. Everything here grew out of that experience, practical ways to keep moving forward without losing what makes the work worth doing.

Filmmaking Lab

Experiment with raising money, packaging your film, and exploring routes for distribution inside Storie Society, a creative studio built for storytellers, not gatekeepers.

You’ll get to engage with and work alongside other filmmakers, writers, and producers to move your project from idea to production. Learn how to plan, position, and approach partners or investors with confidence, supported by tools, mentors, and a community that’s redefining how independent films get made.

 Strategy Coaching

I help mid-career creatives and creative-adjacent professionals get clarity in their business and their next chapter. Most of my clients already have skills, experience, and a body of work, but feel stuck, scattered, or unsure where their real opportunities are.

In a focused 90-minute strategy session, we map out what’s working, what isn’t, and what actually moves your creative career forward. You’ll leave with a clear focus, a simple 90-day plan, and a set of next steps that fit your real life, not theory. No fluff, no hype. Just perspective, strategy, and direction you can use immediately.

The Hungry Artist Cohort

In this 4-week live cohort, you’ll work with me and a small group of creators to take a clearer look at the emotional, relational, strategic, and practical parts of your creative career, so you can finally see what’s blocking your momentum and what actually creates opportunity in your creative business.

It's hard to know what to focus on, what to adjust, and what to let go. You're putting in the effort. You're showing up. You care. But you still feel stuck. Most creators aren’t lacking discipline or talent.
You may just  lacking a clear way to understand which part of their creative career is actually holding you back.

Tyler M. Reid

I help professionals in the creative industries think clearly and make better decisions. Most of my work sits at the intersection of strategy and creativity, helping investors, executives, producers, and analysts sort through complexity so they can focus on what actually matters.

For twenty years, my career has been one long experiment, moving between film, writing, teaching, producing, and consulting. I’ve learned that the medium changes, but the work doesn’t. It’s always about taking an idea, giving it shape, and staying with it long enough for it to become real.

I’ve worked on feature films, music videos, documentaries, and live events across the U.S., India, and Sweden. Some projects came with resources, others survived on stubbornness and problem solving. Every one of them taught me something about process, people, and the quiet, unglamorous work that makes creative projects possible.

That mix of curiosity and practicality shapes everything I do now. Whether I’m helping someone develop a film, clarify their direction, or rethink how they talk about their work, the goal is the same, help them get to the next clear step without losing the joy that made them start in the first place.

 

Reinvention doesn’t happen in one lane.

Here are a few more ways you can explore creativity, collaboration, and new forms of work.

Every project I build connects back to the same idea: keep learning, keep experimenting, keep finding new ways to grow. These spaces are where that happens, whether you’re sharing your knowledge, exploring new mediums, or building with others.

Cohort-to-Course Consulting (for Authors)

Helping authors and experts earn new revenue from their books or IP by turning them into live learning experiences, and then into courses that keep generating income long after launch.

I'll help you transform what you’ve already created into a repeatable, scalable offer. Together, we’ll shape your content, design your cohort experience, and build a system that grows your audience, impact, and income over time.

Coming Soon

Patreon

Follow along as I write, test ideas, and build new projects in public. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, messy, honest, and always evolving, where you can see how stories, strategies, and experiments come together in real time.

You’ll get early access to drafts, new ideas, and creative experiments before they’re released anywhere else. It’s a place to support the process, join the conversation, and be part of the community shaping the next phase of the work.

Coming Soon

Film Community

A creative space for filmmakers to connect, collaborate, and share resources inside Storie Society, a studio and community built for storytellers, not gatekeepers.

Join filmmakers, writers, and producers who are developing projects, exchanging feedback, and building momentum together. It’s a supportive environment where collaboration replaces competition, and where creative ideas have room to grow into real opportunities.

Hungry Artist Coaching

It’s easy to feel lost, especially when the work you’ve built no longer fits who you’re becoming. These sessions give you space to slow down, get clear, and start shaping what’s next with intention.

Let's look at where you are

 

What’s working? What’s not? We’ll unpack your current path and see what actually matters to you now.

Assess your skills

 

We’ll look at the skills you’ve already built, what still feels exciting to use, and where they could take you next.

Define where you want to go

 

There’s no fixed map, but together we’ll set real guideposts and a direction you can move toward with clarity.

Coaching

Let’s Start the Conversation

Ongoing Support for 1:1 Coaching

 

Clarity isn’t always a one-time thing. As your direction starts to shift, it helps to have a space to come back to, a place where you can check in, sort through new ideas, and figure out what’s actually changing. That’s what these sessions are for, whether you’re a filmmaker, creative, author, or a creative entrepreneur who’s built something that no longer fits the way it used to.

Maybe your last project wrapped and you’re not sure what comes next. Maybe you’ve grown in a new direction but your work hasn’t caught up yet. Or maybe you just need someone outside your usual circle to help you think out loud and make sense of what’s pulling at you.

We’ll talk through what’s shifting, what’s still true, and what feels aligned as you move forward. And if it makes sense to continue, we’ll figure out the rhythm that fits, whether it’s a follow up next month or a check in later when things evolve again. The point is simple, giving you support while you keep changing, building, and moving into whatever comes next.
