Can we make money doing what we love? Should we aim to be able to use our creativity to pay the bills? Or will keeping our passion away from our paycheck allow for more freedom, because it separates the practical issue of putting food on the table from your creative process?

Valentin Farkasch is an Austrian-American filmmaker and photographer. In this episode, he provides his own view on this debate. We talk about the struggles and benefits of freelancing in New York City, how to pursue our creative visions while still making money, what it takes to be a good filmmaker, and how the DSLR revolution affects professional cinematographers.

Find out why Valentin will be taking a break from cinematography in NYC. He is moving back to Austria and will get a non-creative job. To follow his progress and weigh-in with your thoughts on this debate, join our conversation on Instagram or Twitter using #CreativeCareer
