E61 - No Better Time [Ft. Heather/Fellow Filmmaker]

The Ambitious Filmmaker

This episode is chalked full of great wisdom and insights from our friend Heather, founder of the Fellow Filmmaker YouTube channel. Heather talks about her journey from hobbyist creative in 9-5s to the events that pushed her to finally pursue her dream of being a full-time filmmaker. Heather talks with us about the constraints of time in life and the importance of getting after what you want. She teaches us about her "The Answer is Already No" philosophy and how that empowers us as creatives in the industry. Heather talks about some of the best ways to reach out to the creators who inspire you and how you can forge a working relationship with them while being authentic to where you are in your own journey. She even shows us her Failure Journal and talks about how we can convert failures into success. We had so much fun recording this episode and will definitely be bringing Heather back for a second round.
