Hey fam, how’s everyone doing this week? What’s one win you had recently (big or small) and one thing you’re working on right now? I’ll go first: Just locked in prolly one of the biggest client deal worth 5 figures. Simply because i gave them a shout out one time in my video and now they want to work with me. How about you, how's life going for you? Genuinely trying to know you guys better and build a genuine community where we share our wins and L's. So let's talk ! Drop yours below

I disappeared for a while… not because I stopped caring, but because I burned out trying to do it all. Life got loud. Content demands grew. And somewhere in the middle of it, I lost touch with one of the spaces that meant so much to me—this community. I know some of you might’ve moved on. Some might’ve been waiting. And some might’ve felt forgotten. But I haven’t forgotten. This space helped me grow. It reminded me that filmmaking isn’t just about lenses and edits… it’s about people. Purpose. Process. So if you’re still here—thank you. If you drifted—I understand. And if you’re reading this… I’d love to rebuild this, together. If you still here, drop a comment, or reply to this email - I'd love to reconnect with you!

Hey Family, I've been working on a long awaited series that I firmly believe will help you out so much in your videography/ content creation journey. So today, this is Day 1 of my " No Gatekeeping Series " where I break down all the tricks, tools, and hidden gems I use to level up my content so you can do the same. Today, I'm breaking one of the biggest pain points most people face when filming with their iPhones. So f you’ve been filming on your iPhone and wondering, “Why doesn’t my footage look like those dreamy cinematic edits I see online?” — this is for you. I've also added my iPhone cinematic LUT which I usually charge for but we not gatekeeping no more so I'll be giving it out for free. So... What you’re missing isn’t gear — it’s settings and sauce. Let’s lock in your camera settings. 📱 iPhone Native Settings: - Go to your Settings app - Scroll down to Camera - Tap Record Video → set it to 4K at 30fps (this is the sweet spot for most content) - Next, go to Formats → choose Most Compatible 🎥 Using the Blackmagic Camera App (aka the app I use 99% of the time because it gives me full control): - Open the app → tap Settings - Set Resolution to 4K (NOT UHD — trust me, it makes a difference) - If your iPhone supports Log format, use that for maximum dynamic range. - If you shoot for social (Reels, TikToks, Shorts), turn ON Vertical Video Mode - Last thing — enable Mirror Front Camera Now here’s the before vs after using these exact settings — and yeah, that glow-up is real. But here’s the part most people won’t tell you: Settings alone aren’t enough. You still need that color sauce to make it pop — and that’s where my iPhone LUT comes in. I designed this LUT to turn flat-looking iPhone footage into cinematic, rich, scroll-stopping visuals — even if you’re filming in your bedroom with no fancy gear. It’s not just a preset. It’s a cheat code. And because I want to see more of us winning — Comment “settings” and I’ll send you the step-by-step guide plus my LUT, completely free.
