Working as a freelance filmmaker can feel like a dream come true. You get to use your imagination and creativity to make films you’re passionate about with the flexibility and freedom of being your own boss. However, as with any freelancing position, there are some potential concerns you should address before you decide whether it’s […]
You may have written your script, identified your shoot locations, and are ready to start filming your first project. There’s just one problem: funding.
