One thing I’ve learned is there’s no single “right” way to break into filmmaking—everyone carves out their own journey. For me, it started with weddings, corporate video freelancing, and taking on any project I could, then slowly growing into bigger opportunities. Along the way I’ve done client work, documentaries, and recently video editing has lead me to now developing my own feature films. It’s been anything but a straight line, but every step has taught me something valuable. I’d love to hear about your path. Which route are you taking (or planning to take) into the industry?

Hey everyone, Hello. This space is exactly what I need. I’m making some real cool content creation tools to help in the AI world. Any App and Software developers interested in getting in at the ground level hit me up. I’ll be here on the Filmmaker Alley 😇

First I want to say, thank you for the invitation Alejandro. I am really happy to be a part of your group to share and learn.
