Make Better Wedding Films Ben Journee

Loneliness and isolation are sometimes unfortunate byproducts of the freedom our career choice brings, so often heightened by an illusion of community on social media. So on today’s show, I’m doing something different. I’m combining three seperate interviews with Lunar Red Films, Omega Weddings and Joe Torres, in the hopes that I can highlight some part of our collective experience.

Today I’m speaking with Adalenne Hatcher from Cine Garden about her journey from getting kicked off YouTube at 10 years old to running a successful wedding film business. We discuss creative fulfilment, navigating the complexities of working alongside your significant other and we both share our experiences of  how we are recovering from burn out.

How much is our gear a crutch? If we didn’t have access to shallow depth of field, 10 bit colour, crazy low light, infinite lens choices… would our work still stand on it’s own? Would the storytelling at the core still resonate if the flashy wrappings fell away? On today’s show, I’m talking with Savannah Groves, aka A Girl and Her Phone about the conscious choice she has made to ignore the advice of other videographers and not buy a camera, but to create wedding films using only an iPhone. Why? Well you’ll have to listen and find out....

Process, organisation, workflows and systems… the boring, mundane parts of our work, right? Wrong! On today’s show I’m talking with Brady Huf from Wedding Post House about how systematic approaches to the creative process can not only make us more efficient but also free up mental space to allow us to thrive in our business and avoid burning out.

Who is your ideal client? When I ask that of wedding filmmakers, the answer I often get it “people in love” and I think here in lies an underlying issue that is holding a lot of filmmakers back from growing a business that they love, which a lack of clarity. 

On today’s show I’m sitting down with Jared Sullivan from Wayward North Films to talk through the importance of finding clarity in your brand and your filmmaking style and why this is a crucial component to creating a sustainable business.

On today's episode I'm speaking with Artem Korchagin on all things cinematography. I've been sent Artem's work multiple times in my DMs and it's no surprise why. His work is both fresh and timeless and he shared so many insights for wedding filmmakers looking to level up their cinematography.
