Very interesting topic. As someone who focuses way too much on the next piece of gear, this was a super helpful video. Thanks Matt!

Yes Yes Yes! As an emerging director i've felt really stuck recently thinking how I'm going to get to the next stage of my career and get signed to a production company/get a rep. I directed a short documentary for spec last year and can see how that helped me a bit and got me a couple potential opportunities, even though I'm nowhere near where I'm trying to be. It sucks that I don't have a lot of money to put into projects but I'm thinking I just need to make it happen somehow and it is really inspiring seeing other filmmakers also saying spec work is the way to go, as opposed to talking to other directors who have told me they got given random 'opportunities' by networking on set (This has never happened to me lol) This year I'm thinking to direct a fashion film for my jewellery brand and direct a brand film for a charity. Let's hope it pays off!

100%! First of all. I’m loving your videos. Keep them coming, you’re crushing! Second, we should never work for free for as*holes but we should for sure work for free for people who can make us better, and who recognize that we can make them better too. Thank you for putting the effort into making these videos. I will surely watch all of them! 🤘🏽all the best to you!
