My Story: From Dreaming Big to Making It Happen

Hey There! I’m Ilona Six, an international film producer and creative entrepreneur with over 20+ years in the creative industry.

My journey started with nothing but a daring vision and a passion that felt unstoppable. But I’ll tell you this: I didn’t take the easy road—far from it.

With no roadmap and more rejections than I could count, I faced countless moments where my dreams felt impossible. Doors slammed in my face and people told me “No” more times than I care to remember. Trust me, I could fill an entire book with the rejections I’ve received. But over time, I realized something crucial: success isn’t just about talent or hard work. It’s about clarity, focus, bold, strategic actions that align with your vision. It’s about developing the right business mindset so that every setback becomes a reason to push forward.

These lessons became the foundation of my work. One of my most talked-about movies, The Human Centipede Trilogy, is proof of what’s possible when creativity meets strategy. Despite being unconventional—and even highly controversial—it became a cultural phenomenon. It was featured on major platforms like South Park, the MTV Awards, and more, sparking global conversations, inspiring pop culture moments and generating millions in revenue. But this success didn’t happen by chance. It was the result of carefully crafted business strategies, a clear vision and the willingness to take risks others wouldn’t.

Beyond filmmaking, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering the business side of creativity—turning ideas others doubted into projects that leave a lasting impact. From navigating international sales to building profitable ventures.

Now, as your business mentor I'm on a mission to help fellow filmmakers through THE FILM BUSINESS CLUB successfully fund, produce, market and sell their films through my proven 7-step framework, so they can bring stories to life and get their films seen by an audience.

Because success isn’t just about talent—it’s about strategy, execution, and making bold moves that set you apart.
