The school was founded in 2015 by Aaron Rasmussen and David Rogier who were inspired by an idea of having intimate classes for a very small group of people. They raised funds to finance their online school. Rogier knew Dustin Hoffman's daughter and through that connection, Dustin Hoffman agreed for a filming of a course in acting. This was followed by James Patterson's writing course.
