Industry Etiquette Tips for Social Media and Feedback

Listen Later

If you are a beginner filmmaker who is afraid to receive feedback on your work, you may find you are operating within a bubble. Feedback is such a critical part of the process of becoming a better storyteller. We invite you to get out of that bubble and practice asking for and receiving feedback like a professional.


In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, GG Hawkins, and Jason Hellerman discuss:

  • Crafting and curating your public persona 
  • The standard number of pages your script should be
  • Wasting time arguing on social media
  • The power of admitting what you don’t know
  • Why you should ask for feedback early in your career 
  • How to ask for feedback and how to receive it
  • Why you should never feel bad about asking people for feedback
  • Having practice feedback sessions with your friends
  • The overall importance of etiquette as a filmmaker



    • Memorable Quotes

    • “The 136-pagers were always gibberish, with no exception.” [7:52]
    • “We all just need a slice of humble pie, especially in the beginning of our screenwriter careers.” [12:16]
    • “If you are a filmmaker, you are building a community of peers.” [30:53]
    • “Sometimes the note you think is dumb, is right.” [43:27]
    • “The internet is not always right. It is just a place where people are allowed to say anything.” [47:56]
