How I Pivoted from Fitness to Filmmaking | Tamara Thompson

In my late.

20S, I.

Started paying.

More attention to YouTube and paying attention to the algorithms. Like, oh, this content was taken off. Like, what are they doing? And so I went back to film.

School, and I was actually in the.

Fitness industry for about eight years. And I went back to school, and.

It was funny because my.

Fitness director literally was going around the gym, basically telling everyone at.

The time, like, hey.

This is Tamara. Like, camera, but not spelt like it.

So it, like, I was like, oh.

I guess my mom, like, picked a great name, Tamara.

And so I was like, I guess.

I was meant to go down this realm with, like, cameras and things like that. And I was intrigued with YouTube and started watching some of my friends and colleagues take off. And this was quite, quite, quite a while ago. And what happened.

Though, is, so I.

Did go back to film school because people were like, well, if you're not happy in your career, why don't you do something with filmmaking? And it took me about four years before I actually was convinced by friends.

And colleagues, like, hey, you know, like.

I can actually go back.

To college.

In my late 20s and build a career of something. So I went back to film school.
