For the last 6 years, I've been running an filmmaking YouTube channel called The Film Look with my friend Robert Carr. We've uploaded over 330 videos, created 6 short films, and have reached over 3 million people online.
It is easily the most intensive education I've experienced; learning about how to run a business, make engaging videos, shoot entertaining shorts, and work with collaborators.
But after seeing the YouTube filmmaking scene no longer favour short film education and instead favour coffee montages & camera spec reviews, it’s time to move on.
My plan going forward is to offer my services as a Writer/Director & Film Sound Artist. I'm looking to get on-set again as a boom operator as well as a post-production sound artist. So if you're reading this and know anyone who needs a sound person on a project (professional OR passion), shoot me an email!
In terms of Writing/Directing, I'm gonna keep writing my first feature screenplay, and knock out a few more short films that I've written too. It's time to turn filmmaking into a fun hobby again - I've missed that part of it.
To wrap up: I'm jumping back on social media after 6 years of avoiding it like the plague for mental health reasons. So my social media profiles will be used strictly as a business portfolio and creative networking tool.
Thanks for reading this wall of text. Anyone fancy a pint?
