In this episode of Hitting Your Mark, I sit down with LA’s very own Malik Baker. Malik talks about how filmmaking felt like something that chose him when he first picked up a camera. He shares what he learned during his time in film school and the challenge he faced that almost broke him.

We get into the challenges of making short films, lessons learned, developing your style, and why promoting yourself matters just as much as the work itself. Malik shares that this is something a lot of filmmakers are missing today. Many focus only on creating, but learning how to put your work out there is a major key. We also talk about the importance of building real community because you can’t do it alone.

Malik leaves filmmakers with one simple message: do it scared. That lines up with what I always say — today is the day. You don’t wait until you feel ready, you just do it. 

For the dreamers.
