Eric Deeran tells filmmakers they can't do both equally: focus on business growth first to make more money and buy time for creativity, or stay purely creative and stay broke.
If all you're focused on is making better films, here's what you need to focus on to make more money. So there's two things you can focus on. You can either focus on being more creative or learning how to actually build a business that makes more money. So typically, when people focus on learning how to be more creative, it brings down the amount of money they make because they're not focusing on the things that actually make money. Whereas if you could focus on making more money growing the business, then you have more time to be creative as well. But what a lot of people do is they only focus on the creativity side of it.
