If you’re a full-time freelance filmmaker like me, I’m sure that you’ve dealt with mental blocks, pressure from deadlines, and getting stuck in a rut creatively. Today I want to share with you how I stay creative as a filmmaker by embracing the freedom that this career has given me. I hope that this video gives you some inspiration, as well as instills in you the confidence to keep creating films even when it is difficult.
