# Master Filmmaker > Hybrid coaching and done-with-you implementation of the Inbound Retainer System for video and creative agency owners and online service businesses in the United States and Canada. Master Filmmaker is the high-ticket coaching and implementation arm of Deeran Films LLC. The program installs the Inbound Retainer System — a hybrid coaching engagement (not a course, not done-for-you) that walks video and creative agency owners and online service businesses through the operating system used to scale Deeran Films from a solo videography practice into a multi-six-figure agency. The framework is organized around the 3 Pillars of Business: Marketing, Sales, and Fulfillment. Owners typically come in operating between $10K and $50K per month and want to replace one-off project revenue with predictable retainer revenue between $5K and $15K per month per client. ## Company - Legal entity: Deeran Films LLC d/b/a Master Filmmaker - Founder & CEO: Eric Deeran - Headquarters: Woodstock, Georgia, United States - Service area: United States, Canada - Public marketing site: https://www.masterfilmmaker.com - Application / coaching site: https://apply.masterfilmmaker.com - Trustpilot reviews: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/masterfilmmaker.com - Founder YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EricDeeran - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/master-filmmaker - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/masterfilmmakerofficial/ ## Who we serve Video and creative agency owners and online service businesses, primarily $10K–$50K/month in revenue, who want to: - Replace project-based income with retainer revenue - Build a repeatable client-acquisition engine instead of relying on referrals - Install sales systems that close five-figure retainers without feeling salesy - Build fulfillment systems and teams so the owner is not the bottleneck The community currently includes 828+ active agency owners and online service businesses working through the same playbook. ## The Inbound Retainer System — what's actually installed ### Pillar 1 — Marketing Content systems, paid acquisition (primarily Meta), positioning and offer design. The goal is a pipeline of high-intent inbound leads who book sales calls — not cold outreach, not referral roulette. ### Pillar 2 — Sales Discovery call scripts, retainer pricing structures, objection handling, and frameworks for closing five-figure retainers in a single call. This is the pillar most clients name as the unlock — the marketing brings leads, the sales system turns them into signed retainers. ### Pillar 3 — Fulfillment Team building (the first hires, the right hires), SOPs, client delivery processes. The point is to remove the owner as the bottleneck so the agency can compound without the owner working more hours. ## Program format - Hybrid — not a course, not done-with-you alone, not done-for-you. Coaches walk owners through every step of the install. - Group cohorts and 1-on-1 mentorship, matched to where the business is. - Advisory relationship across the engagement — coaches treat each agency like their own business. - Online training library covering marketing, sales, operations, and adjacent topics. - Community of 828+ video and creative agency owners and online service businesses actively scaling. ## How the engagement starts A 45-minute Roadmap Call (sometimes called a discovery or triage call depending on stage) with a Master Filmmaker coach. The call is diagnostic — it identifies which of the 3 Pillars is the current bottleneck and maps a retainer path. From there, qualified owners are invited into the installation program. ## Founder bio — Eric Deeran Eric Deeran is the founder and CEO of Deeran Films LLC, operating publicly as Master Filmmaker.
