It’s wild how different yet fulfilling writing sessions can be. Yesterday I wrote a solid 1 and a half pages. Short session, but lots of fun and made some crucial developments for my story

Ms. Rachel invites a 3-year-old Black boy to her show and calls on sports teams and soccer stars to step up, celebrate his talent, and help him after a viral video shows him being kicked out of a soccer game by police for being too good ❤️👏
Parents called the cops on a 3-year-old for being too good at soccer compared to other kids and wanted to have him kicked out of the league 😳⚽

You want your movie to feel cinematic? For starters, learn about shot composition, and whatever you do, DO NOT underestimate SOUND

Then they’re not meant to be part of your team

And when you do actually believe in yourself, and learn to speak with confidence, then people will say you have an ego.

In this movie making business, the first person you need to believe in you, is yourself. The more you believe in you, the more others will believe in you, then sooner than later you’ll have a team to help you reach your filmmaking goals

Does anyone know of a virtual screening platform? Zoom is my backup, but I want to know if somewhere specializes in it

Free work is part of the gig. Or at least working way more than you're being paid for.
I agree with Luke. I’ve gotten some money up front for writing and directing A Gettysburg Haunting (@aghaunting), but in comparison to how much time I’ve put into it, I’m far in the negative, and it’s been worth every minute If you want to see success you have to invest

I saw someone on here talking about how no one should ever work for free. They were talking about acting but I think it can equate to any film industry job. Look, while I know producers and execs are taking advantage more than ever, I just want to say that is insane advice. I do work for free or dirt cheap all the time. Every "yes" from me boils down to at least one of four things: does it pay really well, is it for a close friend or someone I love collaborating with, am I obsessed with it creatively, or do I see a clear path how it could push my career forward. If one of those hits, I'm probably in. I can pinpoint the VAST majority of higher paying gigs I've had directly back to a gig I did for free or for like $200/day. 90% of success in this industry is built on meeting awesome people and them realizing you are also awesome. This industry is all about stuff like that. Don't get taken advantage of, but also don't immediately close the door on opportunities because of some made up rule.
