The Creative Work You do Between Gigs Defines You and Your Company
I sit down and talk to Chris Donaldson and Julien Scherliss of Moment.film (www.moment.film) about what it takes to regularly put out great, personal creative work outside of the daily grind of our production lives.
Moment.film, during their first 2 years in business has put out a ton of commercial work for Seattle agencies and beyond but at the same time they've also produced a 10 minute and 20 minute pair of short films and a 10 minute documentary. AND they've paid for it all with profits from their commercial work.
We touch on -
- Being sure to have profit in your company to pay for these creative endeavors
- Why keeping it "lean and mean" can help set you up to be able to pursue outside creative
- What you do and don't get out of these creative forays
- How the creative you do on the side often defines who you are as a company
