How to transform the images in your mind into a film? 🎥 The first films I made were simple, experimental, and far from perfect—but they were born out of a pure love for filmmaking. Let’s be honest, though: they were bad. Really bad. 😅 And because they were bad, I pushed myself to make something good. Looking back, that was my first big mistake. 🚧 It made me hit a wall, and for two years, I made nothing because I kept thinking, The next film has to be amazing.That perfectionism trap is brutal. You want to create something incredible, but instead, you end up stuck, doing nothing. 💀 This is where most aspiring films go to die—in procrastination & perfectionism. But I learned a lesson for the next 10+ years of making films: ✨ The best way to grow is to start small. Forget perfection. Make something every week. You’ll learn more than you ever imagined. You’ll discover your style, experiment with editing, and maybe even decide you prefer black and white to color. 💡 Want to practice lighting? Shoot a short film with lighting as your sole focus. 🤔 Stuck on a story? Film your day, but play with angles, composition, or creative lighting. ⚡ It doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to exist. The undercover name of this challenge is not “mini film,” but “make a bad film.” Just make it. Äh, do it. 🔧 Do it with the things available to you. When I had no money to pay actors, I cooked a great dinner for them as a thank-you. 🎬 If you want to make BIG CINEMA, start SMALL. Stop aiming for a masterpiece and start creating. 🌱 You’ll be amazed at how much you grow when you let go of the pressure and focus on experimenting. 🚀 So, where will this journey take you?

A student asked me how to get their first paying client without a portfolio. 🤔💰 If you have basic skills, try this: 1. Pick a niche you love ❤️ – like kitesurfing, for example. 2. Offer a free test project 🎥 – Ask a local shop owner if you can make a short promo video for them. In return, have them display it in their store, let you leave business cards the store, and post it on your website with your name --> SPREAD IT 3. Use it as proof ✅ – Now have a real project to show. Pitch other kitesurfing shops or surf brands - maybe even somebody lurks on the website of the Surf Shop you promoted and likes your work - Start with low prices, and increase them as you gain experience and proof. 🚀 For Inspiration: FREE TEST PROJECT EXAMPLE: A Tribute to One Eye PAID FILM FOR CLIENT: The Invention of the WetSuit by Jack O´Neill
