CREATE YOUR OWN CONTENT

---

Take Control of Your Career
Creating your own content is one of the most empowering steps you can take as an artist. By producing your own work, you can explore themes that matter to you, showcase your multiple talents, and take charge of your career. In today's entertainment industry, being a "multi-hyphenate"—an artist with diverse skills—is not just recommended; it’s expected.

Master the Basics
Content creation helps you learn essential skills like staging, set design, writing, cinematography, and editing. These foundational skills make you a better collaborator and storyteller, allowing you to navigate sets with confidence and speak the industry's language.

Key Rules for Content Creation Success

• Rule #1: Story is Everything
  Start with limitations to spark creativity. As David Fincher says, "The question is not what you do, but what you don’t do." Define your creative boundaries to focus your vision.
• Rule #2: Work Within Your Resources
  Use the KRC strategy:
  
  • Knowledge: Learn from mentors and resources.
  • Resources: Leverage your network, equipment, and locations.
  • Create: Begin with what you have—start small but think big. Reflect and learn from each project.
• Rule #3: Learn from Experience
  Follow the CQT strategy:
  
  • Balancing Cost, Quality, and Time teaches the art of creative compromise.
  • Fast and high-quality? It’s expensive. High-quality and cheap? It’s slow. Fast and cheap? Quality suffers—unless you have deep knowledge.
• Rule #4: Collaboration is Key
  Build a team of like-minded creatives. Collaboration fosters lifelong partnerships and stronger storytelling.
