fating now

[@RoweFilms]

You dropping this, today, is WILD. Thanks Danny.

[@deejschrader]

Dude, you are always dropping the videos I need. Spent the weekend shooting a short film, and even though I bit off more than I can chew, I'm still sat here thankful that I went for it and that I made the time and scheduled it out and took a shot a my first scripted short. I owe so much of my knowledge to you man. Appreciate you!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Congrats on going through with it dude!

[@KrisBryant99]

Man all of all the screenwriting channels I've been to, this is the BEST one so far. Like wow!!!

[@ElianaGhen]

Super inspiring Danny

[@marissachabria]

"It really just makes filmmaking start to feel more like a job than a passion". Wow so true!

[@330filmco]

Danny if I ever win an Oscar, you will be thanked in my speech as a result of this video… your the goat.

[@raaashee]

HOW CAN I FEEL SOOO INSPIRED JUST BY LISTENING TO YOU!!!

[@joanramirez3652]

This video feels like warm hug. Thank you.

[@lavenderraiyn]

I always wanted everything to be perfect or I wouldn’t start at all. I just gave it a shot and it was a wonderful experience. I met so many wonderful people that supported my vision

[@timsnider336]

I so appreciate you, Danny. Thank you for your words.

[@Trentenjoel]

Love you too Danny G. Needed this.

[@elvislikesphotos]

I see Danny post a video, I click

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha thanks dude

[@amithedesigner]

Danny i’m so grateful for this video and your vision, art. Your experience is so inspiring and i’m in love with you as a filmmaker 🙏🏻 My whole life i’m telling myself i should become a graphic designer and a professional artist just because it’s “the only thing i do well”. No it’s not. I love making short videos, cinematic vlogs, i’ve been filming “aesthetic” video’s since grade 5th, i love filmmaking, colour grading, editing so much! Have i ever posted any of my projects? No. I was scared of people’s opinions, of “wasting” my time on projects that doesn’t help me make money, that are just silly projects that no one else but me might see. That’s so wrong and dumb! I don’t want to lose that spark and passion to make silly little projects, they are not meaningless at all! now i understand that life goes on and what i’m really wasting my time on is things i don’t want to do. Ever since i’ve watched documentaries for the first time i want to film my own documentary so bad. I’m finally ready and so excited to be open minded and create without any fear of being judged or wasting my time or energy on something useless. I still love graphic design and painting, but the passion i have for filmmaking is so strong, i have to at least give it a try🙏🏻💗 English is my 3rd language i hope anybody that reads this comment fully understands its message

[@BourgeFilms]

I’m having my first table shoot for one of my passion projects next month! This couldn’t have been timed any better. I love you too, Danny! Thank you for being my inspiration.

Proud to see who you became over the years, Danny! Thank you for valuable piece of advice! 🙌

This is a video I can continually return to , to remind myself of what creating films are all about. Borderline emotional from moral support i have found within this. True self expression brother thank you for being so human.

[@elliotforeman]

This came at the right time! I've been so absorbed with client work lately that I haven't been creating stuff for myself. I think it's about time!

[@liamjmorley]

I love this, Danny. I've spent the past few weeks planning a passion project after falling into a black hole of yours and Eric Floberg's work. It made me realised that I've been putting everything into commercial work and, I hadn't, but was in danger of losing that spark. Appreciate you putting this out man, thank you.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Glad it helped brotha!

[@micahsmithmedia]

music has really helped me come up with passion projects. now it's just doing them, thanks for the push!

[@JebbAdams]

Thank you Danny! I learn a lot from you! Thanks for motivating me to believe in my work! I have a little YT channel. That is my learning field! That is my classroom. That is what I do! Just getting started being a filmmaker. Thanks for the help! Have a fun, safe weekend!

[@himanshur7983]

Thank you so much for pushing Danny ✨✨

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks dude!

[@Leitin]

bro, what you saying is just real. i have this passion, that since i was kid i make little films, edits, evertything. But the worst thing is when you is forced to do something that you don´t want, and you don´t have the good results as the other projects. Im not saying that you have to leave what you do to live your dreams but you only can achieve creativity and originality doing, in every single aspect, what do you want.

Love you man, you are great inspiration

[@AryanTalla]

Thanks for getting me over the hump. Danny, you are the best.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Always here brotha! Thanks!

[@joshallanfilmandmusic]

Thanks for this Danny! I'm in the process of developing my biggest passion project yet, so your channel is essentially a filmmaking bible for me at the moment. A lot of people let distractions and excuses stop them from making what they know is most meaningful, so having your voice drown out that noise is super helpful. Thanks and sending love from Brisbane, Australia.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks man! Best of luck with the project and congrats on making it happen

[@joshallanfilmandmusic]

@@DannyGevirtz Thanks Danny! Really appreciate the encouragement. :)

[@Paintfilm]

Thanks Danny ✊ somehow always inspire me to want to make another short film

[@NGU09513]

Thank you!!

[@gabelomoteycreative]

Danny, you hit me in the heart with 3:40 speaking about the money. Making an excuse with the money projects, you were spitting. Thanks for the advice and much love again.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha thank you bro

[@landonfrench]

Not only motivational but gives a good set of disciplines to follow so you don't rely on the motivation. thanks Danny!

[@DannyGevirtz]

For sure man! Thank you

[@ObeWillems]

Inspirational as always Danny! this is a great message

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks dude!

[@dir-gk]

[@DontTouchArtStudios]

Amazing brother. Absolutely agree. Made it to Tribeca with no budget 🙌🏽

[@mauriciotrujillo9016]

Thanks for the kick up! 🙏🏻

[@DannyGevirtz]

Yes sir!

[@MonstroInLA]

Been in the industry for over 15 years and although I love doing what I do I lost what I got into this business to do. This video is exactly what most filmmakers need to get going kudos my friend.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Glad this helped man!

[@directorcrazy]

Passion 🎉

[@martinbaran1265]

I needed this video. This week I made a video that I had an idea for a year. I had a lot of doubts about whether it was worth it. After telling friends about it, we got together and filmed it. When I watched the scenes, I was glad I had the courage to go for it. It was also because of you, because you always said we had to go film something 😀 so I was like, ohh, okay, so lets go then

[@subhaabhisekbiswal3536]

Danny you are the best

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks man!

[@mugumebenjamin4538]

Love you danny

[@DannyGevirtz]

Love you!

[@BryceDocherty]

Love you Danny! I like your pants. If I Think I'm Sick gets selected for another festival, I'll be going to it, no matter where it is. Hope you 3 are doing well! Bye

[@paulkfilms]

I'm in the concept/writing stage of writing a short film. I'm still trying to find the process of writing for me. I heard either Tarento, or the guy who wrote Social Network, or both, say something like writing the script is just 20% and thinking about the script is 80%. I'm trying to find an idea that sticks, that I can shoot with a realistic budget, and is my film. The film that wouldn't exist unless I made it. I'm at the point at my job where I need to remove my desire to make art, and focus on giving the client a marketing asset that works for their goal. That's my job. My passion, is film. And it's becoming more and more evident that I NEED to make a film or I will eventual begin to resent my job. Thanks for the inspiration Danny.

[@State-Of-Mind]

Spent the last few months trying to shoot a feature film in Colombia! Flew to the Amazon, worked with farmers and in factories and the whole thing failed! Learned so much more than I would have if I didn't try hahahha

[@gxdpictures]

Didn't even watched the video yet but immeadiately thumbed up the like button! That's hoch much I love this guy.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha thank you dude

[@DavinciHD_]

Needed this bro .I been struggling with imposter syndrome for while. It's time quit doubting myself and just send it.

[@fulloffame]

Love this video

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you!

[@TheyCallMeCotton]

One of the best creators on KZbin and I mean that!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you so muxh

[@aqursyy]

thanks, Danny, your video helping me a lot

[@DannyGevirtz]

Amazing to hear man. Thank you!

[@austinbrady]

Thanks for sharing this Danny! I need to get back on editing my most recent passion project.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Do it dude!

[@Beingyogary]

I do believe you should get it for this movie !!!❤

[@jadoncal]

Love it man. I'm in post production on my latest film, working to get it colored and scored. Keep inspiring

[@birdley]

Hey Danny. A good friend of mine sent me your channel. I'm a senior in college who works in video, I love the work I do but it's incredibly hard to get started on my own. I always feel like I piggy back off of others but I've realized that doesn't matter. I'm young and just ggetting started, I can't afford a nice camera and a gimbal but what I do have is incredible friends who want to help me out and create with them. I've defiantly made some stinkers in the past couple years but that happens, thats life. Today is a new day and what matters is that I try, no matter what. Thank you

[@drewpanton]

I love you Danny

[@guusvandermeer7389]

Love your work Danny! There's just something about your colors. I would die for a video about your colorgrading process on these simpel talking head setups. I just can't seem to make my fx3 look so soothing.

[@BenjiSelby]

As Marshawn Lynch’s word say “I’m about that action boss”. That’s what I think when it comes to you bro, you’re a man of action and have proof it works! Needed to hear this today 😬

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks bro!

[@mattsmoltz9117]

ITS MONDAY AND DANNY POSTED! Ahhhhhhh!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha got nothing for next monday

[@ParkerFoster]

Couldn’t agree more. My suicide awareness PSA is the project I’m most proud of and it was a passion project. So important to make time for those.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Yes sir! My passion projects are by far my favorite

[@schoeferfilm]

YES my friend 💪🏼 I only make my passion projects 😅 because filmmaking is not my work 😂

[@AniketFlims]

Man I almost broke down but idk how I searched for the baseball video and i rolled few videos down now i am so confident to start creating again❤️

[@DannyGevirtz]

Incredible to hear man. Keep pushing! This stuff is hard!

[@brandinginmotion]

❤

[@daverizz]

Luv it. Bookmarking that isht to bring back up when I'm feeling aimless or defeated. (Currently helping me re-energize for my reel and website rebuild!)

[@chrisleggat4668]

Bro, I needed this.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Glad it came at the right time!

[@tyleradams3490]

I have a passion project I keep on the back burner... I have a few dreams too. One of my biggest hurdles is that I'm not a writer or a director. The hurdle is finding collaborators and I've been workin on that but I could do more. I'm making some of the best and most fun client work because I finally started reaching out to people with talent that matches mine but in a different lane. I'm almost fully scratching that passion side by lucking out with creators that want to make rad stuff and pay me to do it. I should probably watch this video a few more times, I really need that fire lit under me to make my own projects a priority - and that extends beyond filmmaking... I've been telling myself for too long that I'd record another professional EP. I need to make music, I need to make art.

[@azolamtana7575]

I like you bro, and thank you for this video.

[@rizzo-films]

For me the hardest part of all is "find your people". I'm naturally introverted and coping with anxiety every day, just getting myself out there to meet people is honestly harder than anything I've ever done in filmmaking, and I've shot/directed/edited/motion graphixed two feature-length documentaries back-to-back. It is SO HARD for me to find my people, and I live in Chicago, where I'm pretty sure there are many solid filmmakers and creatives out there for me to meet. I don't know how to get over that and I think about it every single day. I go to networking events, film festivals, chat with people online, even invest in classes so I can meet like-minded people and learn a few things in the process. And still, it never EVER gets easier.

[@2win1now]

Passions projects (4 short films) really helps kickstart my creative career! Time spent learning, solving and dreaming 🚀

[@DannyGevirtz]

Yes sir!

[@charlestcrepps]

Thanks for this Danny. Been trying to monetize my passion for such a long time, but I realized that the “trying” is the problem.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha just do it man no need for it to be monetized

[@DDesignOfficial]

Thank you for this Video. The question I often ask myself is, why should I do it? Why does this world need my film? I worked already on 60+ Music Videos and other type of Videos. But couldn't find time to do a Shortmovie :( Because of the questions I ask myself everytime.. But one day I will do it because of you! I keep watching your stuffs and this motivates me so much! Thank you!!!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Do it man!

[@theneverfilms]

Hey Danny, congratulations on the work. I followed the entire "I Think I'm Sick" BTS and learned a lot from your production. Would you make a video about how you organized the entire film production using Milanote? Schedules, shotlists, optimization of production days, etc. I feel that the lack of organization in some stages may be holding me back and your workflow seems to be quite correct for this project.

[@Neekss]

The yoda quote 🙌

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha the realest to ever exist

[@lukakrstovic_]

You are the reason I got inspiration if you like I recently made three passion projects on my channel inspired by you

[@DannyGevirtz]

Amazing dude! Thank you!
