Sunday Spectra Come fly with me! Destination? Climate of AWE The docuseries that has shaped many of my choices in learning and growing the last few years. Mode of transport? The Circle. A once a year opportunity to learn with a very small group of filmmakers directly from Keith Ochwat about how to combine funding, distribution, and impact campaign all in one. I’m grabbing a 1st class ticket onboard and can bring one teammate with me. Curious about what this ride includes? You will get... *All the Show & Tell trainings (over 100 hours of webinars) *Access to indepth training from Keith about what is working RIGHT NOW in pre-distribution *Close collaboration with me and the 4 other filmmaking teams *New warm contacts within the themes of Climate of AWE *Opportunity to put the learnings directly into practice *Ability to apply pre-distribution to your future documentary projects (or get jobs doing it for other filmmakers!). *And more! I have a link to an informational video to hear all the details yourself I'll be shelling out $5000 to do this, but you don't have to... Your contribution will be 5 hours actively working on the distro for Climate of AWE each week during the 6 month commitment (roughly 130 hours). NOTE: These hours are in addition to the time spent learning the method.  Plus, if our working relationship goes well, we could discuss how to evolve the role to continue after the 6 months.  My plan is to decide who to bring on as a team member by the end of next week (Fri 2/23 -- which is my birthday!).  DM me and let's chat about it!

Last week, my short film "Yes." -- a 2023 recap story went live! With countless hours spent planning, filming, and editing this film, I am proud to say that it is one of my best, most in-depth narratives yet. In collaboration with Kolder Creative, I was able to depict the ins and outs of my year, and express the power of the word "yes". Check out my short film, linked below! https://lnkd.in/d-kpgXiG

After two consecutive days of relentless filming, the weight of exhaustion and the demanding nature of the process hit me. Filmmaking is an arduous task, consuming countless hours and mental energy. Recognizing the toll it takes on both mind and body, I find myself yearning for a well-deserved vacation. Taking a break after wrapping up a film isn't just a luxury; it's a crucial necessity. It allows for much-needed recuperation, rejuvenating creativity, and fostering a fresh perspective. Stepping away briefly from the intensity of the set is not only a reward for the hard work but a strategic investment in maintaining the passion and clarity needed for future projects. #hardworkpaysoff #timeoff #filmmakerslife
