A personal reflection by a filmmaker recounting the shift from working as a solo shooter for large national clients (handling shooting and editing himself) toward building a scalable video business. He realized the solo model was unsustainable for his family and desired lifestyle, and has begun implementing systems to scale work beyond just himself.
You know what I mean? Yeah. And, you know, it was for me, you know, a really key point is for me coming from the world of where I have, you know, pretty big clients, you know, national. National clients all over the country. Yeah. You have very large contracts with a lot of large companies, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, the thing is, is that's the, you know, the mentality was. And that I had to kind of switch gears on was that I can do it. I can just, you know, I go onto this shoot, then I go on in this shoot or have a book five days here this week and then I'll do another five. You doing everything right? Yeah, me. Me shooting, me editing. And the reality was that's not sustainable for me or my family or for the lifestyle I desire. That was a big win is realizing that and then putting a system in place that we can scale and we already are scaling.
