At some point throughout your career as a filmmaker you’ve no doubt reached a point where you feel that youre far too busy to even consider taking on more work, as every waking moment is being consumed by your current project. It’s an amazing feeling to have so much work on your plate that you don’t feel the need to source more, but eventually you’ll wrap up that project and be left wondering what happens next.
This is one of the biggest business mistakes filmmakers can make, and that is failing to think forward and apply a business mindset to our work. I’ve been more times than I care to admit. It’s so easy to get so engrossed in the task at hand that you forget to look ahead. But in the world of freelancing and project-based work, staying one step ahead is the key to long-term success. As without planning ahead, when the revenue eventually stops flowing from the project that you're currently working on, you’ll be left with nothing coming in, and will have to endure the next phase of hustling, networking and planning, which depending on the type of work you do, can take months, without a stable income.
