I've been making short films since I was a kid, as well as a couple of no budget feature films, a ton of YouTube videos, a handful of unproduced feature scripts, etc. But I wasn't always so productive. In fact there were a couple periods on my life where I went over a year without making anything.
In this video I discuss the biggest mindset shifts that broke my spell of chronic procrastination, and got me writing, making movies, and taking control of my creative life again.

About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.
