Filmmaking Tip: Director Inspiration

In this Filmmakers Academy Tip of the Day, Filmmakers Academy mentor Jordan Brady shares how to find director inspiration.

Find Your Director Inspiration

You may be surprised by what you hear. For instance, directors can reach far outside the bounds past filmmaking inspiration. Directors could find inspiration from paintings, photographs, architecture, designs, and anything that sparks that nugget of creativity.

Now, here’s the important part. Set aside a little time each day to seek out inspiration. Inspiration comes from letting your mind wander past previously unchartered territory. If you plan for it, there’s a better chance that you will stick to your goal.
