Filmmakers Spotlight Coaching: Action Leads To Opportunity
Imagine this scenario: you attend a Spotlight group coaching session, ask some insightful questions, and within two weeks, you’re working on more projects than you have in the past two months! That’s exactly what happened to Filmmakers Academy member Ray Taylor after participating in our recent Spotlight Group Coaching session with director and executive producer Andrew Sandler.
THE POWER OF ASKING QUESTIONS
Ray Taylor, a Filmmakers Academy member and Academy Gold Rising alumni, discovered firsthand the power of “ask and you shall receive.” Like most aspiring directors, Ray realized he had to put himself in a position to get career-changing opportunities.
“I was feeling kind of stuck,” recalls Ray, “and I was just like, ‘How do I better my craft when I’m not on set?’”
Andrew gave him helpful advice that involved seeking inspiration by reading scripts and watching movies he wouldn’t normally watch. He also emphasized studying others and how they approach their crafts.
A few days later, Andrew Sandler hit up Ray on Instagram and asked him if he wanted to help out on a one-day shoot. Ray seized the opportunity and went on set with Andrew, meeting his producer, and ever since they have kept him very busy.
“I’ve worked more in the last two weeks than I have worked in the last two months, and it’s because I showed up to the coaching session.” —Ray Taylor
