Send us a textThis brutally honest Q&A tackles the real problems filmmakers face: reps that don’t feed you, money stress, specs that don’t convert, vague references, gear FOMO, weak outreach, and DMs that go nowhere. You’ll learn why stability beats the starving-artist grind, how to aim specs at the right market, turn them into case studies that win clients, and package your positioning so “real brands” actually reply. Follow Us!
