Behavioral Practices To Elevate Your Filmmaking (& Its Impact)
A HFF Masterclass In 15+ Episodes
Before we begin today’s Masterclass, I’d like to give you, dear Subscriber, a gift. I’ve launched a new newsletter, one focused on the FilmStack community. It will be a collaborative newsletter with regular guest curators.
And since you’ve been a loyal subscriber to HopeForFilm, be it for free or paid, I’d like to gift you a FREE annual “paid” subscription to FilmStack Daily Digest. Yup. One year. Free. What everyone else will need to pay for — you get free for signing up now.
The goal of FilmStack Daily Digest is a lot like the goals of our various FilmStack Challenges: to get you to know more of the authors and exciting things on the ‘stack, and for them to build their audiences. It is a community-building sort of thing.
But before you opt in, let me tell you one more thing. It’s something neat about what we are doing with FSDD. We have another goal there and maybe it will lead you to want to financially contribute to FSDD even if you can get the cow for free. 100% of the revenue is going to go to a Filmmaker Emergency Relief Fund. Every penny. That’s the plan.
But if you’d like a free annual “paid” subscription to FilmStack Daily Digest, just go here for the HopeForFilm Subscriber Free FSDD Benefit and sign up now. It is only for a limited time that you can use this, so act fast.
And now on with the show!

Behavioral Practices To Elevate Your Filmmaking (& Its Impact)
I’d like our work to improve. I want my work to improve too. I am sharing something now that perhaps will help your work to improve. Allow me to share some of the tricks I’ve used to get my work done, done well, done better, up & out, and all without letting the world, the industry, and the process get me down (for too long). Let’s admit that no matter what, this filmmaking thing is a struggle and we all need a good set of tools to get us through.

This is amazing! But for some reason it won't let me ReStack this quote: "let me tell you one more thing. It’s something neat about what we are doing with FSDD.
