Success is 80% mindset and 20% skill…

We chat with international film producer Daren Smith and learn about his journey as he evolved from a struggling video business owner to a 6-figure producer working around the world. Daren gets tactical as he breaks down his Craftsman Mindset shift and how you can start pivoting your life and business to be more in alignment with your passions and financial goals. We dive into the power of niche and Daren offers all Ambitious Filmmakers a peek into indie budgets so anyone in the narrative space can start honing their own producing skills.

Go check out the full episode and all the wisdom Daren has to share on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

That’s gonna be a no for me dawg…

The dreaded Scope Creep, or when a client asks you for something outside the agreed upon contract [P.S. Always use a contract].

So how do you resolve the above situation?

As filmmakers, working with clients isn’t just about solving problems but managing expectations to ensure a smooth process for all parties involved.

How you handle a Scope Creep will determine how your relationship evolves with a client, so you want to handle it with care and grace.

Remember that you want them to respect you as an expert of your craft and a business owner, so when the above happens your best bet is to refer back to the agreed upon terms of the project and a transparent discussion on the added cost if they want to pursue this addition.

If they respond poorly or don’t respect your time and energy, then ask yourself if this is an ideal client that you would want to work with again in the future.

And if you’re looking for help with strategies on how to find more ideal clients that aren’t like Bad Client Bob, drop us a DM and let’s chat!

Community is the Cornerstone

Three best friends with one goal in mind, community.

Our story begins back in 2007. A couple years into our friendship the exploration into filmmaking was just beginning, and creating projects was our after school activity. We didn’t know it then, but that’s when we started The Video Community.

After high school we branched out across the country to pursue our filmmaking goals. As best friends, all in the same industry, we continued to help each other grow and used our aligned careers as an opportunity to strengthen our friendship while also strengthening our businesses. We were stronger together.

Freelance filmmaking can be a lonely business, over the years the three of us have realized how thankful we are to have each other in our lives. But not everyone has the community that we have, and because of that doesn’t experience the benefits that community offers.
