Investing in yourself is the ultimate career hack. When you believe in your vision enough to create something - even on the side, even without guaranteed success - you open doors that might never have existed. Joseph Kosinski didn't wait for permission; he made a CGI short in his apartment, submitted it to festivals, and that single act of creative courage launched his entire career. His journey proves that investing in YOURSELF, developing your unique POINT OF VIEW, and then putting your work out into the world can transform everything. Don't just dream about your creative potential - invest in it, showcase it, and trust that your distinctive voice will find its audience.

The secret sauce is humans in front of an behind the camera. AI filmmaking can do it all, but I don't think it cuts it alone, just yet. Just me walking you through my "AI Sandwich" technique—a creative approach I believe will empower filmmakers and stretch budgets without sacrficing craft or human connection. Not saying my video is great, but the idea works.
