FILM PRODUCER | WRITER | HUSBAND | FATHER
I’ve received this question a few times over the last few weeks:
“How do I start freelancing?”
Well, there’s a simple answer and a long answer. The simple answer is – DO IT. But that’s not super helpful.
In an attempt to be as helpful as possible, I’m going to focus on 3 principles that will help you start freelancing over the next 6 months. (6 MONTHS? Yes. And I’ll get to that)
There was a great post on a blog that I follow that prescribed the 1 2 7 14 system for screenwriters. The gist is this: writers write. You know what else? Photographers take pictures, filmmakers make movies, and creators CREATE. You have to be doing something every day that is related to what it is that you do. Your creative output is what sets you apart from people that dream about being this or that to people that are doing it.
