Just wanted to share a quick video I made for social media. Open to positive criticism guys!

Hi I’m Steve on Chicago! I help people create VSLs (video sales letters) to sell their courses and grow their Skool communities As far as Filmmaking goes, I have written, directed, edited and produced shorts, sketches and a web series. I’ve had one feature screenplay briefly optioned by a Hollywood producer, and I’ve had a tv pilot screenplay make it to the semi-finals top 15% of the New York Television Festival. Sadly neither project got off the ground and my busy travel day job took over. My whole focus now is creating business income to replace my travel job, so filming is on the back burner. But when @Jonas Marcel invited me to join I was very interested to learn his story, looking forward to it! 🎥 When I’m not Skooling I like to rollerblade, paddleboard and go on random adventures all over the country. Last year was a hot air balloon, so what should I do next?

I’ve also been filming a lot of content for my YouTube channel and other projects. As well as still working my personal mission of helping my clients. Additionally, the interview that I shot is just too impossibly hard to edit for me. It’s a fantastic interview and he’s wildly interesting, but it doesn’t seem honorable to cut this up. I thought about just taking a few sound bites and frames bit to do that slices the core of his message and then I’m rewriting it. And I don’t want to do that. It destroys my theme of honoring his words. So busyness coupled with a complete block on where to go next has resulted in one thing: So my project has taken a backseat. 🙁

When you don’t have the budget you need, do you wait… or find another way forward?Crowdfunding changed things for me. Curious how others here handle this.

The follow up video, exploring the role that focus, effort and sacrifice has in creating beauty, art the skill to do so. I'm open to positive criticism everyone!
