Blood on the Lens: Musings from the Director 


As an indie filmmaker, the buck stops with you - and that means wearing a lot of hats. From scriptwriting to editing, directing to producing, and even handling the PR and marketing, the list of responsibilities can seem endless. But it's not just about juggling multiple tasks; it's about bringing your unique vision to life, no matter what it takes.


When you're an indie creator, you're not just making a movie or series - you're building a brand, crafting a world, and connecting with your audience on a personal level. And that means getting into the trenches, whether it's selecting fonts, designing graphics, or promoting your work on social media. It's a lot of work, but it's also incredibly rewarding - and that's what makes it all worth it.


Today, I'm excited to take you behind the scenes of my own creative process, as I share with you my future blog post template.


As an indie filmmaker, consistency and efficiency are key, which is why I've been working on developing a set of templates that will help me maintain uniformity across my blog, expand my content, and save time in the long run. By sharing this template with you, I hope to give you a glimpse into the planning and preparation that goes into creating a successful PR campaign, and perhaps even inspire you to develop your own systems for streamlining your creative workflow.
