So good to just listen to you chill and chat about your work experiences. Hope you're enjoying the island bud!

[@toetav]

You said it yourself James: "If you do any shoot for free, make sure it is the best video you have made" still sticks with me. That is how I got to shoot with Memphis Depay and Daniel Ricciardo

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you brother! Can’t wait to have you out here one day

"Be kind." Such an underrated but important, valuable, foundational piece of advice in any aspect of life.

[@JOSU44]

totally agree bro

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you dude!

[@thom7ad]

Seeing this three years after you posted. But this was just what I needed to hear today. “I paid attention, and I was kind.” Thank you.

[@moment]

this insight is so good dude

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks so much squad! Love you all

[@ajjingunia]

I buy my film from you guys 😂

[@yankupdre8250]

For context: I was one of the 5000 dms who by that tag on ODJ caption wanted to let him know how excited I was to see a filmmaker get the tag under a video! From there he responded and over time I've even been able to ask a few questions that's he's answered! I've been subscribed since he put out his first videos.. and one day randomly watching and I saw a large YT like Cody blue tell him he would make on here .. ✨ then was able to actually watch it happen and still see how he continued to show the upmost humility and love for creating and helping others! You deserve it DG ✅

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha this is so amazing man. I appreciate that!!

[@odeketown]

The natural backdrop, palm trees, the horizon🔥🔥 Thanks for these beautiful words Danny

I'm a Photographer/Cinematographer who learned basically everything to get me started on KZbin. This is the best advice on the website as far as I'm concerned. Because it's real.

[@SaveTheNations]

Another title for this video would be - “How the dots in our lives connect”. This story doesn’t just apply to shooting dream projects but all phases of life. So relatable on many levels. In the pursuit of our dreams even though we may not hit the hammer on the nail’s head immediately, every strike brings us a step closer. Thanks Danny for sharing)

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha true it was gonna be about dream job but figured the more specific the more impact

[@AnthonyDo]

BEST. VIDEO. IVE. SEEN. THIS YEAR. This kind of thing happened with me betting on myself four years ago and it somehow someway led me to touring the world with a mega yachting expedition company. That was a drastic change from living in my small sleepy town, never having traveled a day in my life.

[@cotyehawkins4627]

Fellow tristate area guy here, your videos always hit home. Love your work, and your messages. Always pure and real. Great to hear your story!

[@JimmyFerminFilms]

I think besides all the points he made, the biggest thing to take out of this is video is who you know (networking). A lot of creatives think that just cause you’re talented you’ll get far, but it’s really when you put yourself out there that you can really achieve your goals. That’s why sometimes you’ll see people not as creative as you or skilled get jobs you might not get, sometimes it’s just who you know.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Yep! Thank you!

[@djhakimmixcds5859]

Lets take that a step further. The real success comes from who knows you. People name drop all the time about who they've met or who they know, The snowball effect to his success came when all those people knew of him and his work.

[@dseph7852]

@@djhakimmixcds5859 Truth..Key distinction. Do you present as recommendable, are you the first one that comes to mind in your niche, are you visible, your visible excellence is your ticket

[@omarelsayed989]

every single time i feel disappointed, your videos shows up from anywhere!! man, i'm so grateful to you. please keep sharing these things, you don't know how important they are for a lot of people or at least for me.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks Omar!

[@virenp1983]

Thanks for being so humble even after doing something so great. This really feels like home for all young filmmakers out there.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks so much dude!

[@mgibbscreative8613]

100000% man. Have humble confidence like you’ve made it even before you have but put others first and people start talking. People that want big projects from good hearted people. If you build it they will come.

[@ReimannPembroke]

This is an amazing story dude! As a filmmaker myself, I know it seems impossible to get where you want to be. The fact is, that there are probably a lot of ways to get where you want to be. It’s not going to be easy. Some ways will take longer than others. Just get started and if you work hard enough, eventually you’ll get there

[@DannyGevirtz]

Exactly. Thank you man!

[@Unknown-el2zk]

Your network is your net worth. Happy for you brother, nothing is luck. And if people think it was, no you created that luck. People don’t understand they’re in control, well done!

[@gauravm.]

Being kind is one of the best things an individual can do, it truly makes the people around feel good, feel home and makes you a better soul. - Glad to hear your story, bro. You're the best!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks as always brother!

[@DEXKLANDEV]

My take here is "to be kind and have good attitude". No matter what you skill level or experience, your kindness will make you go through doors that thousands cannot even reach! I am a living testimony to that. I totally agree with you Danny :) great job.

[@_seanwillis]

Lost myself down the KZbin rabbit hole of suggested videos and absolutely stoked to come across this one. Unreal experiences mate and great advice for any aspiring filmmakers. Looking forward to seeing what's to come for you in 2021

[@JamesKellyStudio]

This is the best kind of video to watch in order to keep those dreams alive. Thank you Danny 👍

[@nickagrinzone]

needed this reminder today. my mental health has been at a weird point lately which has caused me to be more withdrawn than usual. this gave me the push to step outside my comfort zone and slowly build up current and new relationships. thank you.

Amazing to hear man thank you!

[@nickdambrosia2304]

I know that’s a monumental task when there’s a thousand others commenting and dining etc. but it shows how authentic you really are. Super sappy but hell I’ll say it because it’s just so refreshing in the current state of social media . So thanks Danny, you’ve got a fan for life ✌️

I don't believe in Luck. i believe in Probability. By taking the initiative of putting your work out there and by increasing your video quality over time, you increased the probability of being hired for your dream gig and your probability of nailing all the gigs in between. You have a great attitude. Nike is only the beginning Danny, I hope you go really far in life!

Danny you never fail to find someway to reinvigorate my love of filming. I've spent all week feeling burnt out, like I'm spinning my wheels in the wrong direction, like I'm never going to make it. Then, lo and behold, I come across one of your videos, and I feel more motivated and focused than I have in a month. I'm literally getting out of bed to go work on a spec edit because of this.
