Mate, you are the best. Always so generous with your knowledge and also so supportive. Keep doing you, it’s amazing!

"Passion means you're willing to suffer for it"...This needs to be on a T-shirt!
Another timely video dropping when we need it the most!

You have always been continuously encouraging and helping filmmakers around the world, making their lives better. I believe that your selfless dedication brings you more than just monetary rewards—it helps your soul grow, allowing you to face this world with more happiness and peace. Blessings to you, and thank you for all that you have given.

"You're an amazing teacher! Every time you upload a new video, I go straight to watch it because I know I'm going to gain real value from it. That's why I immediately purchased your coloring course. Thanks again for all the valuable content you provide!"

[blinktwize]

„…the gap between where I used to be is even bigger.“ Damn this hit hard, this is so true, when you actually think about it.

Man, I wouldn’t call this a „video“ or „content“. This was a free masterclass! Again! Thank you! 🙏

I always have a pen and a piece of paper when watching your videos... Early this morning I heard voices in my head telling me that the industry is saturated later finding this video on top of YouTube... Now I feel inspired and more confident after watching; It makes me remove my notebook and pen to note some keywords and quotes.... you are a true inspiration brother.

[NOnlyAdityaOfficial]

learnt a lot from you !!! Working as a Singer Songwriter and Director At The Same Time ... Thankew Sir 🌞

[cbcinematics]

This is why you're still my all time favorite youtuber. You sir, are literally part of the reason my company is here today. Amen to everything you said brother! ✊️

[InvisageStudios]

Your timing is impeccable.
Moments from throwing in the towel and this video hits my feed.

Here’s to giving it one more red hot go.

Thankyou

[alexandroramirez]

i'm new to all of this, I recently bought a Sony A7III and a gimbal and this video has inspired me

[lbhamer]

Wow, this is super inspiring! I'm a filmmaker who has freshly graduated from college back in May and am finding that, while there are plenty of resources for learning technical skills, there's not a lot of guidance out there for how to lead a career in this industry, at least from what I've seen. So, videos like this are incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing you're experience!

[rayjaylvhh]

Thank you for existing and making me rethink my approach! Recently, I changed my career path and got accepted as a content creator for a huge corporation. I am trying to understand which way to move the brand and how my skills and expertise can be shown in the best light possible to build my portfolio and focus on my company's brand. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing your content and learning!

[pjsagnia]

Great insight sir. All your points are valid. I’m now a 52 year old filmmaker residing in the caribbean and these are universal truths. Thank you

[HermanHuang]

Seeing the parallel between what you share here and my own experiences only solidify the idea that I'm on the right path. Thanks for making this video Jacques!

[andrehugomedia]

Your ability to identify how to stand out and then execute upon it is amazing Jacques. Looking forward to hear you cover more business related topics like these.

[vernon]

Thanks for shining your light on the world and setting an example. It’s so refreshing to see someone with such authenticity and humbleness. Die video het diep met my gepraat! Dankie Jacques 🙌❤️
