We can succeed if we raise each other up. Our goal is to take the amazing artists we work with each month, and give them a performers makeover. They will come and perform at Phase 1, receiving their photo and video package at an affordable rate, they have the option for a peer review that will be discussed in a one on one mentor setting--and have access to the Production team for any advice or a follow up peer review! We have classes that are catered to different areas of performance that will help you up your game! We are bringing in accomplished teachers with a laundry list of experience to teach you what they know. UNFASTENED is your One-Stop production team whose mission is to help you transform from the cocoon that binds you and help you truly spread your wings. Let us be your mentors!
