Welcome to The Film Connector Podcast, where I, Alex Belville, share real, unfiltered insights from my journey as a filmmaker, creative entrepreneur, and storyteller. This episode is all about the power of personal branding, putting yourself out there, and building a community online, especially through YouTube.
Over the years, I've learned that putting yourself in front of the camera—whether you're a filmmaker, photographer, designer, or any creative—can be intimidating, but it’s also one of the best ways to connect with people and grow your career. After over a decade of creating videos for clients, including brands like Bose, Tabasco, and VaynerSports, I realized that building a personal brand isn’t just for big influencers—it's for every creative. I’ve spent years working hard, often behind the scenes, building my production company, Mirrorless Productions, and now, in 2025, I'm putting myself out there more than ever before to share what I’ve learned.
Through this podcast, I’ll take you behind the scenes of my career, discussing everything from creative struggles to entrepreneurial tips, sharing stories, and offering the kind of advice I wish I’d known earlier. I'll also dive into the importance of connecting with other creatives and the opportunities that come from building a community—online and offline. You’ll hear personal stories, business lessons, and inspiration to help you grow your own creative endeavors. Plus, I'll talk about the joys of creating for the love of it and how it feels to finally share my journey more boldly.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there’s something here for you. Let’s connect, learn together, and push our creative boundaries. It’s time to step into the spotlight and start building the future we dream of. Let’s get connected!
