Genesis Announces Script to Screen: Filmmaking Masterclass

Genesis: Pathways to Success is thrilled to announce the debut of its Masterclass program, an initiative designed to equip participants with industry-specific skills and knowledge. The program is set to expand across a variety of fields, offering unparalleled opportunities for personal and professional growth.

To launch this program, Genesis is offering the Script to Screen: Filmmaking Masterclass, a three-session class designed to immerse participants in the world of filmmaking. Led by three accomplished industry professionals, Brady Domingo, Daniel Fayette, and Jacob Nobbe, this Masterclass offers 10 hours of in-depth training and insights for those interested in the art of filmmaking.

Meet the Industry Professionals:

Brady Domingo has passionately been pursuing a career in filmmaking and focusing on the art of cinema.  He has experience working on many different commercials, short films, and feature films. In 2021, Brady wrote, directed, and starred in his first film Toilet Paper Soldiers. In 2022, he had the opportunity to act as an extra in a movie with Tom Hardy and Austin Butler called The Bikeriders. His next written and directed feature film titled Mood Swings has recently wrapped up filming and will be released in 2025. 

Daniel Fayette’s journey in filmmaking began with his fascination for creative YouTube content from creators like MysteryGuitarMan and Freddie Wong, sparking his passion for storytelling through video. This led him to pursue a degree in Video Production in 2015 and a Master’s in Digital Storytelling in 2017, during which he won the David Letterman Video Contest, using the $10,000 prize to purchase his first professional camera. Since then, he has spent eight years running his own video production business, completing over 100 projects and earning a reputation for combining creativity with impactful storytelling. A lifelong learner and active member of the filmmaking community, Daniel is excited to share the insights he’s gained through this Masterclass while also learning from the unique perspectives of each participant. 

Curiosity, courage, and patience are the three words that resonate most with Jacob Nobbe. They've been his guideposts on a journey that began innocently enough - making silly skits with friends after school. Those early moments sparked a passion for video creation, though it took some big, bold moves to fully embrace it. Skipping the traditional college route, moving away, and taking leaps of faith in every aspect of life were risks that helped him discover his truth. By focusing on what he wanted to become instead of what he was avoiding, he’s been able to build a life that aligns with the dreams of his younger self and his grandfather. That vision keeps him grounded and driven to become a better version of himself - one that inspires others to reach their fullest potential.
