Description:

It's harder than it's ever been to stand out and get noticed as a filmmaker. That's why you not only need to promote yourself, but your work has to be unique—it must have a perspective that people haven't already seen a thousand times. In a nutshell, you need to develop your own voice.

Here's what we'll cover today:

  • Why having a unique voice and perspective is one of the most effective ways to stand out in a world where anyone can make and distribute a film.
  • The one important rule you must follow if you want to make original, authentic work.
  • How the internet and being digitally connected has simultaneously made it easier than ever to develop your voice, while also making it more difficult to pursue true individuality.
  • What Ira Glass can teach us about the long, tedious process of making work that we're proud of (and why that process is totally worth it).
  • The exact 3-pronged approach to finding your voice that I teach in my paid course.
