Take Charge of Your Future by Learning to Direct Your Own Life

Two regular guys have done it, and so can you! Efren took a gamble that paid off when he turned down a high-paying, big studio role in Hollywood for the small, no-money-upfront role of “Pedro” in Napoleon Dynamite.

Chris became the world’s first corporate sponsored college student by becoming a national spokesperson for FIRST USA, and wound up on the Today Show, CBS Early Show, and in People magazine.

In Direct Your Own Life, hear their secrets for success and learn how to write your life script, assemble your team, and ultimately, debut your dream.

In touring the country talking to high school and college students, these guys found that too many people are losing faith in reaching their dreams. Through their stories, advice, and hands-on steps, Efren and Chris will help you overcome your fears of failure, find direction, and accomplish your dreams. Because dreams can become reality! 

EFREN RAMIREZ, “Pedro” from the blockbuster hit Napoleon Dynamite and co-star of Crank and Employee of the Month, has been acting, writing, producing, and directing since childhood. When not filming, he travels across the country speaking to students and appearing as a guest DJ.

CHRIS BARRETT, an entrepreneur since the age of 14, has appeared in several award-winning documentaries and now directs them. He has been featured on the Today Show and CBS Early Show and profiled in People magazine’s “25 Most Intriguing people” issue.

Efren and Chris share a production company, Powerhouse Pictures Entertainment, LLC.
