TIME TO BE REAL | I made a lot of mistakes as a filmmaker, Some that would cost me thousands of dollars and years of my life chasing projects that would NEVER see the light of day. At the time I really questioned whether or not this was the career path for me.

Today on the channel I am dropping one of the MOST Important videos for any filmmaker looking to make their first Documentary, I'll share my experience and what I've learned over the years along with a ton of valuable information about contracts, pre-production, choosing the RIGHT Subjects to film, how to structure deals as a filmmaker and how you can avoid crucial mistakes that I made over the years.

The video drops at 11:00 AM EST https://youtu.be/APaCFxpSHcE
Meet me in the premiere to ask me ANY questions you have thanks guys!

Hey Guys! So I recently had to shoot and edit 2 Documentaries in just 48 Hours. This was by far one of the most challenging projects I've ever had to take on and luckily I was able to document the entire experience. I have One Doc coming out on Saturday and another one on Monday followed up by a complete breakdown of the entire process coming out on Tuesday. TRUST ME this is one of the best videos that has ever come out on the channel and I am super proud of the information and the overall entertainment of this video lol. Here's a few pictures below.
