Alex's Talent Campus Journey
After 25 years as an actor, Alex Gaumond took a leap of faith and joined Talent Campus 9, transforming from someone who felt unprepared to write to a confident screenwriter ready to create his own opportunities.
What started as hesitation about applying turned into an eight-day intensive experience that was equal parts craft development and personal breakthrough. With industry heavyweights like Charlie Brooker and Eleanor Greene sharing current insights, plus some unconventional activities like firewalking, Alex discovered that "it's not about the craft—it's about conquering fears and diving deep into your emotional core."
The program didn't just teach him screenwriting; it gave him the confidence to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start creating his own projects, proving that sometimes the best opportunities come when we're willing to take that scary first step.
