Secret Filmmakers Society

Coming into Q4 of a pandemic stricken world, we get into what we have been up to. The importance and differences of working solo vs. working with a team. When the money is not worth the stress. New gear we've gotten lately and inspiring things we have seen lately. 

A lot is still going on in the world. We are noticing some of the changes. This episode we try to make our predictions to where video production and media is going. 

As everyone across the globe is dealing with this pandemic, we decided to chop it up and talk about how it is affecting us and other creatives.

The topic which sparked this episode was the common theme on social being cried out about "sharing your artist friends work" and such. Photographer and host of the E Project Jodianne Beckford comes to kick it with us on the podcast to dive deeper into this. Naturally the conversation veers off and we talk about elevator pitches,  the importance of curation and more! You might notice some older references and that is because this is an episode that was in the vault for a year. It's a good one!

Happy new year! Lets start it off by letting fellow freelancers huddle in a circle and share all of the most ridiculous excuses clients gave them for not paying their invoice on time. You know it's something majority of creatives rant about. So lets laugh at it together.

You didn't hear? Let me paint the picture. You wake up, grab your phone, check your instagram and BAM! It's not there. You probably restart your phone. Still gone. Well we got a question and some more for you...Tune in.

Today we catch up, let you know what we been up to, as well as why you need to start invoicing for your brain power.

CEO Chris Hughes of A Nerd's World sat down with the podcast to talk about his extensive history in business and entrepreneurship. Giving plenty of gems from working with clients and more! A great listen for creative entrepreneurs and anyone planning on starting a business.

Many of you start planning your future in film and video. You sit there and plan out your strategic moves for your career path but you aren't doing the most important thing. Going out and shoot! Today we talk in depth of the reasons why you should go out and shoot regardless if you have a client or not. Also we speak on where it leads you to, and the opportunity you create!

You probably know by now, and if you don't, let us tell you. Instagram just stepped it up by releasing a new app part of Instagram that is called IGTV. Want to know more about and why we are so hype? Stop reading this and listen to the episode!

Today we talk what's current in the film and digital landscape. We touch on the trend of many big influencers speaking great things about the Canon 6D MK II after being lined by Canon. We talk Oscars and movies. This episode is a good one.

How long can you do it alone? That is the topic on todays episode. When we start up our filmmaking freelance businesses we are usually a one man band. But eventually you will get to the point where you need a team or can afford one. Now you have the choice to continue freelancing or hire employees. If you are in this limbo stage, this episode is perfect for you.

We get many questions about filmmaking tips and getting clients. But one of the most we get is from filmmakers who have or are trying to go full-time with their film business and navigate certain situations. In this episode we go over some of the challenges you will most likely face when entering into entrepreneurship full time and hopefully teach you some things to avoid.

Today we talk about the new years resolutions we are setting for our own creative video work and what you should be thinking as a filmmaker coming into 2018. Also we talk film equipment, social media strategy and some of our favorite Black Mirror episodes!
