I Quit My Job | How I Became a Freelance Filmmaker

[@Gavinnations]

I just got laid off at my job at a production company and I’m thinking about going full time as a freelance cinematographer. Thank you for this video!

[@UnwrittenAllie]

love this, appreciate that I found your channel. I as well started KZbin and wanted to keep going with it, but so many were in my ear that it wouldn’t work. I now 26 am moving to Florida, leaving a warehouse job to get out of my comfort zone and become a freelance film maker. I thank you for uploading this and sharing your testimony!

[@kwaramedia101]

inspirational bro thank you for the heads up! :D

[@jennycheng1183]

The color grading is immaculate ! Keep it up :)

[@benwallace5389]

That’s awesome bro. It’s funny how similar our paths are. Minus the biomed😂 I even applied to Telegraph like 3 times lol. Maybe one day I’ll have the guts to freelance full time.

[@nicolasortiz7181]

What a very inspirational Dustin! Thanks for sharing, hoping I can one day get to where you are. Keep it up!

[@DustinHarrelson]

So happy it inspired you! You got this!

[@KingDarius266]

My word, easily one of my favourite videos this year. Beautifully told, beautifully put together. Very inspirational. As a doctor trying to get a grasp on filmmaking, I resonate with this so much. Keep up the great work! 💯❤️

[@applesanders6843]

That’s what I’m talking about about! Congrats on taking that step man. Most people never follow that dream. I can’t wait to see your next video!

[@DustinHarrelson]

Thank you so much! A little bit scary but I’ll never know unless I try!

[@Xx2BubbleGum2xX]

Damn bro you a inspo. I’m a RN, and I’m trying to leave bedside to become a freelance videographer. Love the color grading btw!

[@DustinHarrelson]

You got it!! I'm sure you're exhausted from how long and hard your work days are, but if you're on that 4 on 3 off schedule that could be a perfect balance to building those video skills! And thanks, appreciate that fr!

[@th3g4bi]

[@zachnelias]

I am a freelance videographer in South Florida and watching this made me even more excited for the journey. Thanks for the inspiration, and hope you make it as far as you want in the industry. Your storytelling was dope, best of luck dude you got this !

[@HFilms855]

Wow. Dustin, this was phenomenally well-done. I'm immensely proud of you. Always pursue your passion, chase your dreams, and live the life you want to live. Life is too short to do anything otherwise. This is incredibly inspiring man. I can't wait to see what's next!
