    Love the transparency you have in sharing. As a fellow Freelancer (about 4 years in) vulnerability and transparency is so refreshing and so needed in our industry. Keep it up dude!
  • @nikhilchitre
    Love the idea of a monthly recap of filmmaking work. Not only for the audience but to reflect on the experiences you’ve had. Definitely something I’m gonna start doing. Good stuff 🙌🏽
  • @MatthewDangyou

  • @kylet9000
    I like it bro keep it up I know how those slow months are!
  • @KarimAmerStudio
    Great job buddy, I am glad that even tho it was slow, you had some fun with the stuff you were working on. But since I saw how enthusiastic you were to the first Ad, why dont you do like a full breakdown to it, maybe it'll be of a great value to the viewers. But anyways, best of luck brother.

    Awesome video as always and thanks for sharing your experience! Its great to see other artists perspective rather than just another product review
  • @YoussefHallouly
    Love this kind of content! Thanks man! I’m curious on how much those jobs got you paid for the whole month, I know you can’t go into details probably but can you share an average? Thanks :)
  • Thanks for sharing this insight with us, it was a pleasure listening to this. As someone starting out, I would love to hear your thoughts about how to start out from scratch in this industry and if you have any advice regarding that. I noticed, you talked a lot about networking and receiving those gigs from friends and colleagues. If you are new in town or in this industry, how would you try to land that first job? Warm regards and thanks again, you are awesome.
