I Bought His Company | What's the future of Full Time Filmmaker?

[@fulltimefilmmaker]

We love you all ❤

[@unaichiprincewill]

I love you all too ❤

[@LJ_alltheway]

You guys are the best!

[@LJ_alltheway]

Pls come to Raleigh!!! 🤞

[@slove7seven7]

Love you, too

[@MiguelCreditoTalks]

Love you Parker man, your content has brought a ton of value in my filmmaking knowledge. Just want to let you know that. I'm pretty sure Landon will take this whole brand to another new level. ❤

[@geesamanhomes]

Fulltime Filmmaker has changed my life. Thank you, Parker, for creating such an incredible resource for all of us aspiring filmmakers. You couldn't have picked a better person to sell your company to; Landon, I can't wait to see what you have in store for FTF! I've always loved your content on FTF, so whatever you do is going to be awesome!

[@camerondstewart]

This was emotional. Full time filmmaker allowed me to start a life that I never dreamed of. 5 years ago, I was working a horrible job making no money and now I run a 7 figure production company with 5 full time employees and 11 contractors. It’s all thanks to Parker and FTF. Excited for the next chapter and can’t help but think of how much growth there has been over the past few years for myself but also for you guys!! ❤

[@tobinietoofficial]

You inspired me

[@JohnHenkamGangte]

May I know how you got started and how you got customers and how you decided which type of videography you should specialise in?

[@camerondstewart]

@@JohnHenkamGangte for sure! There is a podcast episode on a playlist on my channel where I talk about my journey. But essentially did low end jobs and made connections with business owners locally, did a lot of real estate, weddings and concerts. Then progressively took on larger and larger projects. Biggest thing is shifting your expertise to “I’m just a videographer” to “I’ll build a strategy for your brand to get recognized online,” video just happens to be the best way to do it. Hope that helps and best of luck to you!

[@LycanVisuals]

@@camerondstewartFor how long did it take for you to be decent enough to start low end jobs? From the time you purchased the course to making connections with local business owners? Thanks.

[@camerondstewart]

@@LycanVisuals I used the "Free to Fee" method right away and want to say that I landed my first real estate shoot a couple weeks after taking the course and then a free wedding that same month and then from there everything snowballed. In terms of how much skill I had... I would say that just comes with practice and time, looking back at those old videos, it's clear I didn't understand the things I do now; but wouldn't have known that without the experience. Best advice... just get out there, make connections and offer your services to build your portfolio. Eventually something will stick, best of luck!

[@MyMateNate]

Congratulations to you both. You both have been so instrumental to my development in filmmaking over the years. Best of luck to you both 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@jacques_crafford]

PARKER!!! Replicating yourself in this way is something you can be immensely proud of. You’ve built something amazing and I commend you for putting your family first and “letting go” of something so valuable. Congrats to Landon, can’t think of anyone who is more deserving and fitting to take it to the next level 🔥🙌🏻

[@andrewelder2739]

I think this is GREAT news! Those of us who 'bought in' to FTF paid for a COURSE. We don't get to hold Parker hostage in perpetuity. I love that he gets to move on to the next phase of his life and career, while Landon -- who is the PERFECT person to take this over by the way! -- is passionate about the FTF platform and community, and ready to move it forward too. I love all this, so excited to re-engage with FTF in 2024! Thanks so much for everything Parker, and for handing off your legacy to a new steward, rather than just letting it fade away.

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Admire this exit. Seems like a wind for all. Great maturity on y’all’s part.

[@TwoOneSe7en]

I think a lot of us saw this coming a mile away. Parker, thank you for your countless hours you’ve poured into FTF and the community. Sad to see you pass the torch but man what capable hands you’ve handed it to. MORE than capable. Congrats to you both.

[@aydinroozbeh6696]

Why Am I crying? Thank you, Parker, for your outstanding work and the positive impact you have had. Some years ago, I asked you for a discount on a course as I was a student. You kindly gave me the Black Friday price during that summer, and I learned so much from those courses. I appreciate everything you have done for me. I am happy my favorite community is going to Landan, where I learned a lot; that's a blessing.

[@tioluwanielesho1448]

The ending!!!!!!!!! I remember the first video I saw with Landon, it was about transitions. Now, we see Parker's finale video, and it's Landon's transition. It's come full circle guys! Cheers to a new era🎉🎉🎉

[@DavisInDuval]

I’m still a fulltime filmmaker 5 years later thanks to what I’ve learned from FTF. Thank you. Best $600 I ever spent.

[@solomonndah9500]

This was very Emotional to watch! Fulltime film maker made me! I've never commented before, but I have always been an active follower from day one. I have watched the channel evolve into this great Empire. Thank you so much Parker, thank you for showing up and creating this! Thank you, Landon and every other member of Full Time Film Maker. I love you all!

[@PongraczMatyas]

Sorry to see you go Parker, but... Congrats Landon! You are awesome, looking forward to seeing the future of Full Time Filmmaker under your leadership!

[@Andy_Diep]

This is what a legacy looks like, Parker and FTF has given me a ton of value over the past couple of years. The knowledge and skills from this channel contributed in me getting a full-time job creating video content. Even though I don't frequent the channel as much anymore, I am incredibly happy Parker has passed the torch over to Landon. I'm very estatic for the future filmmaker whose lives will change as a result of the channel continuing! For anyone out there who wants to create content online, take the step and start creating. Building a channel or even company takes time. Start that timer today.

[@AnthonyWrightFilms]

Bruh....why am I crying in the club right now? Parker inspired me to go full time with being self employed 5 years ago. He gave me the courage to give everything I got into my brand. I have been running my business full time since 2019, and I've never looked back. Thank you, wild Walbeck. I'm excited to see the channel grow under Landon! He's a spectacular content creator, and I can't wait to learn more under him!

[@emmanueltimothy]

Parker, I think your well-thought-out exit strategy for your business reflects great wisdom. It's not easy to part with something you've built and nurtured for years, but passing the baton to someone as capable as Landon is truly a mark of greatness. Best wishes to both of you.

[@austinbrady]

This was a much needed video. So grateful for Parker, Jake, Landon, Nate, Nate, and the whole team! This community is one of my favorites.

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Parker’s videos were a staple to help me build my own channel. I can’t wait to see what the future holds here. And kudos to Parker for having the self awareness to know when it’s time to pass the baton

[@aaronoates200withelp]

I didn’t get sad until the outro. Thank you Parker for creating a community to build my dream job!

[@CanKarFilms]

Thanks for everything Parker! You literally changed my life. A couple years ago I had no idea what to do and was trying different things to find out what I like and what I am good at. Then, I've come across FTF and I said that's it! That's what I want to do! I'm still learning, improving but now I have my personal brand and now I am a fulltime filmmaker. I enjoy every moment of it thanks to you! Wishing you and your family all the best! Also, congrats Landon! You've always stood out and deserved it! Wishing you good luck, as well!

[@VieiraNkosiTV]

Thank you, Parker! For changing lives outhere and much success on your future endeavors. Landon, congratulations!

[@TRAININGDAYMEDIA]

Very inspirational. Have learned quite a lot from this channel and consider it the defacto standard for film-making on KZbin!

[@GabeRyanMedia]

Dang, why am I getting the feels all the way through this? Such a mature, respectful transition of ownership. Thanks for all you poured into this content creation community Parker! You helped me go from working at a real estate photography company making $13/hr in 2020, all the way to 6 figures working for myself today at 20 y/o.

[@FitKannadiga]

I loved watching only Parker's videos because he is too good in the community.. I will surely miss you buddy.... Congratulations Landon on the new company... All the best.

[@Kaotix_music]

I saw this coming. Landon has been basically taking over the channel. I think Full Time Filmmaker is in very good hands and the best of luck to both of you!

[@MarioSoMedia]

Thanks for all the videos and looking forward to the next chapter of FTF!

[@Fokhus]

definitely bitter sweet. Thank you Parker for the years, the commitment, time, sweat, energy, creativity for your life output. Annd kudos to Landon - the foundation has been set - so keep building, as we know you can and will

[@climxfo975]

Thank you so much Parker, I’m just gonna go ahead and say that, you’re the one person who helped me fall in love with video, I mean even up to now, I still default back to FTF content, that’s how much an impact you made in my journey to wanting to create better content, I might not have the course right now, but I’m sure when I’m able to, yours is home, so, thanks man. I also think Landon’s the right person to take over from ya, to shorten things here I’ll just say he’s got the stuff, he knows how things work, you taught him well. Again, thanks Parker, God bless you and, enjoy retirement from FTF.

[@imadclicks]

parker i have never commented , but today i am going to say i will miss you man ... i have been with this channel since so long ... aww its sad

[@WSeabrookLightTouch]

Thank you both! I built a seven figure creative agency based in large part on what I learned from your team. You’ve helped more people than you may even realize.

[@bristowfilms4505]

Fulltime filmmaker and you all have been a huge contribution to my filmmaking career and skills. Congratulations to you both and thank you!

[@iSpike]

As a student of FTF I am so glad there will be as good a future as there has been a great past. Congratulations to you both. Much Love & Respect, Cheers from Western Australia

[@pragadeeshking6666]

I have known this channel from when it was named "Parker Walbeck". I slowly got introduced the name of Fulltime Filmmaker. Not only parker, but the entire team who has shown their face to me through youtube have and still are inspiring me throughout so far. I am going to be a better filmmaker and will let you guys have credit in how I am going to be in the future. I have started my Media Production Company hoping that it would be a good hit among people in my region, the inspiration is from FTF. One of few communities that made me a person who I am right and what I am going to be hereafter, I thank you guys a lot. My Best Wishes to Mr. Parker!

[@rivalfilmco]

FTF has hands down been the most helpful thing in my filmmaking journey. I would never have been able to make the content, connections, fun, and living if not for this course. Thank you Parker and Landon you have my support!

[@AeviumFilms]

An exciting new chapter! Stoked for both of you and what this transition will bring 👊🏼

[@ninemilecreative3113]

Parker you're such a legend thank you for what you've done for all of our lives.

[@ollie.kirwan]

I think I speak for everyone in the community when I say thank you Parker. I became a full time videographer 18 months ago through all of the knowledge I gained from the course. I signed up for tons of courses in the transition into this career and this is the only one I stuck with. You always put your community first and it never once felt like a money grabbing exercise. You gave so many of us the skills to follow our dreams and I am absolutely delighted that you are able to spend more time with your family and doing that things that are important...wherever the next chapter leads, just know that you have all of our respect. You have changed most of our lives in ways you couldn't even imagine. Thanks again Parker.

[@WATCHVICE]

I wish you all the best Parker, and that you find happiness and good times with your family. You were one of my first contacts with business, filmmaking and course creating which has brought me a long way. Thank you.

[@nwasoul]

Thank you guys! When I first got started you guys were instrumental in my growth.

[@Visuallyben]

I bought this course the thanksgiving sale of 2020 to take my video editing to the next level, best $500 ever spent and thankful for the amazing that build FTF. **Thanks Parker, Landon, Jake, Nate for making this possible. Seeing Landon in this position is wow just speechless deff looking forward to what FTF is putting together for 2024**

[@OmarEltakrori]

Grateful and excited for both of you

[@furkat]

This was emotional. I just shed tears watching this.. In one side, I felt so bad that as if I dont see my personal mentor anymore. Even though I never met Parker in person, everytime I hear his voice in the videos, learn from him and get his advice, I feel so relaxed and gain confidence. I never thought I could be so close to someone through videos... Another side, I'm also glad that Landon is taking over. He's been here for years and doesnt make the transition completely punch on the face)) We love and respect him much too!

[@jonathanhigdon504]

Parker has been instrumental in my love for filmmaking. This channel over the years has taught me so much. I couldn’t think of someone better to take the torch and thank you Parker for being who you’ve been over the years. You’ve never wavered from your content and also your faith. Thank you for being a light, being a leader and being a mentor!

[@davidsfilmmaking]

Love you Landon will support you in this endeavor!!

[@vladimirkhvan6514]

Thank you Parker, that was amazing time. Your school was a big part of my life. I made a huge leap because of you and school you made. You are an awesome person and entrepreneur. Every educational video you made was the highest value, condensed and right to the point, simply organized and easy to understand. Than you for being a part of my growth as a filmmaker and entrepreneur. I clearly remember the moment when I watched your proposal video in 2018. And FTF course cost whipping 599$, and I had only a little bit more till the end of the month to feed my family. And I had that “This is it moment” As probably you had when you first watched David Supertrump video. And that choice was so hard, because I didn’t have any support from anyone around me including my family. But I bit-the-bullet, bought it, studied carefully it and there wasn’t a moment I regret about it. Since that moment I learned the lesson that the toughest decisions creates fortune in a long run. I’m grateful that I met you and your team through the course of my life journey. Now It’s time to move forward! THANK YOU PARKER!

[@bmkhalidhasan]

I am sad to say, but I will miss Parker. I started my filmmaking journey when I was in college, and Parker used to upload videos by his name on this channel. His style of cinematography was edge ahead among all the creators. I hope you can give your family more time now. So stay happy, stay energetic! ❤

[@justinuriahphoto]

Learned a lot over the years from Parker. Will be missed! Looking forward to what is next.

[@Berserkmoon]

Parker, I don't know where I'd be without your course and videos. You've always inspired me to push my limits, not just in my filmmaking but in my day to day life. I'll always be thankful for your time and dedication to this field. Landon, I know you'll crush this. I've always enjoyed your videos and have learned so much from you. I look forward to what your plans are for the future of FTF. Parker taught me how to operate a camera and how to shoot in different styles. You've helped me develop my own style and push that limits even further of creativity. Thank you both, y'all are the best! ❤

[@RMCVideography]

When I first came across the adverts on Instagram & FB, I was sceptical and thought it was just another video scam and wasn't legitimate. It took a few months of seeing the adverts before I decided to check it out, and I'm so glad I did. Full-time filmmaker answered so many questions I had when starting my video business alone. It felt like every time I hit a problem, they had experienced it and covered it in a video. I'm so glad I decided to join and the return of value from the course has been huge! And I wouldn't be where I am today without them. Thank you to Parker! I've really enjoyed seeing the course and yourself progress since I've joined a few years ago, it takes a real maturity to know when is best to give the reins to somebody else and let it continue to grow rather than fade away. And best of luck to you Landon. I've seen you gradually take over the business for the past few months, and know that you're going to take this course in your own direction and I'm very excited to see what the future holds for full-time filmmaker. If you ever come across to the UK for one of your workshops, I'll for sure come down to it!

[@NPCLiam]

Dang that was some feels. Been watching the channel for I think 4 or 5 years now and it’s always been a creative motivator to pick up the camera and go shoot something. Super stoked for Landon and Phase 2 and for Parker getting time with family.

[@chrisphillipsmedia1]

@fulltimefilmmaker I was aware of this channel one the years, but never checked into any of the videos. However, I was surprised to see this announcement. I watched this video in-full and even though I never tuned in like the rest of the community, It gave me a somber, sentimental feeling, particularly at the end with those flashbacks. I'm sure the decision of stepping away from something you built was hard, but I understand especially when it comes to family. Best wishes to you Parker, your family, and your future endeavors.

[@francescopescucci1557]

From a little guy from Italy i just want to say thath Full time filmaker has changed my life forever! I've started my filmaking company here in italy just because of you!

[@mikeodendahl]

Parker, I joined FTF 8 years ago... thank you for the community and tutorials. The knowledge you have passed along has been my track to run on, allowing me incredible experiences with clients. All the best to you. Bless you and your lovely family. Landon, thank you as well... much success to you and the team

[@szewczyk_travel]

Thank you Parker. FTF was my first ever online course I have ever bought. I will miss you! Greetings from Poland!

[@charles_macmillan]

That montage at the end 😭😭 Love you Parker Walbeck thanks for everything man!! Congrats to Landon BTW!! Can’t wait to see where FTF goes from here

[@danieljohnberdadero6721]

I was once a dining crew server and at the same time PA on a wedding videographer in our locals, now I’m a full time videographer with gears and personal clients thanks to Parker Walbeck and the Full Time Filmmaker! Godspeed with your new journey Sir!

[@youronlinetenniscoach]

Parker, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your course transformed my life and thanks to it I now have a thriving video business. Much luck with the future and congratulations to Landon, I admire your creativity and I love your personality. I am excited for the future of FTF.

[@McNeilMedia]

FTF has done so much for me over the last several years! Thank you Parker and thank you Landon!

[@nrozfilms2001]

I started following the channel way back, and landan came with the seamless transitions episode that was really amazing , thank u parker for trusting landan , he will do. Much good

[@emmykayemmanuel3987]

Thank you Parker. I appreciate your support. You are of the very few youtubers that motivated me to start film making fully, getting my first camera and going into film making fully. I will miss you. I wish you the very best in your journey. With love, from Lagos, Nigeria. 😢

[@MajK-sx8uf]

The video Parker did on the intrerview setup helped me massively in my business, always been a fan. Good luck with everything

[@KDBM4]

Bro!!!!! I saw that email and couldn't even believe it! This is awesome! Super congrats to you both, though! To Parker for knowing what he wants and moving on. To Landon for also knowing what he wants and the new position!

[@JJ_Hernandez]

Thanks a lot for sharing your gifts Parker and now allowing someone else to share their gifts on what you built!

[@simarsingh3798]

You are amazing Parker... And Landon congrats 👏❤

[@ihassan1001]

This channel was the first one i looked into when i started getting into filmmaking.... I've learned a lot... thank you guys for everything

[@takudzwamatsangaise3564]

Thank you guys all the love from Zimbabwe , such an amazing youtube channel. Coming from a third world nation this channel has helped me a lot on acquiring a lot and free knowledge on content creation.

[@liakhovaleksandr]

Thank you, Parker!!! Let's go Landon))

[@forgesmedia]

I bought into the course when i landed my first retainer client that enabled me to devote all my time to content creation (with the help from my family we leveraged everything to make it happen) that was approx 4 yrs ago. Since then Ive grown into an agency with a specialization in digital content (not ads, just organic). Although I haven't completed the course, I found the value far exceeded the price, and I still do. Congrats Landon for taking the helm of the ship, and I will continue to be a raving fan. Looking forward to the future. Paul from Canada.

[@alessandrobianconi4216]

Thank you Parker for FTF course and the amazing community you've built over the years! You will always be remembered and you're the reason why I do what I do for a living. Thank you thank you so much!!

[@BuildMontage]

All the best for your future endeavours and I'll definitely still be watching FTFM... awesome channel... The realestate video was so good..

[@jonahlevine]

Parker, thanks so much man. Crazy to think how long it’s been since I’ve been watching your videos constantly. You’ve done such an incredible job giving so many people the freedom to choose what they want to do in life ultimately bringing them happiness, and you should be eternally so proud of that. So stoked to see where you take it Landon!!

[@GioelEnriquez]

I am not sure I have ever commented on a video ever. This was oddly emotional. All I can say is thank you Parker for all you have put into this. And thank you Landin for keeping true to the vision. You seem honest and true.

[@rickypatel7412]

Thank you Parker for everything you have created and shared and taught! I joined the FTF course over 3 years ago and have now built a successful and sustainable business off of everything I learnt from you and your team here in the UK A truly inspirational educator. I hope you enjoy and are extremely happy in the next chapter of your life 👊🏽

[@edh9237]

Thank You, Parker and Landon. May this be your best year ever, and the next even better!

[@danieluchoa07]

Thank you Parker for Everything! Congratulations to you both. Landon is a legend! Greetings from a Brazilian fan! 🤎🤎

[@Films_by_kabucho]

Thanks for the everything you have taught us Parker! It is because of you that someone like me has transitioned to film and photography fully. Landon, continue with what you have learnt and brought with Parker and give us the knowledge you have. Look forward to the future!!! Love you guys all the way from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@JaimeAndresMedia]

Perfect fit, I’m big fan of Parker for many years and Alumni of FTF, and have been following Landon for a long time since he joined Parker, it’s really cool to see this transition. Best wishes to you in this new phase of your life Parker!

[@habitdesign8630]

Thank you Parker for what you have build. Because of you I keep improving my skills day by day. And to Landon I know it’s going to be awesome seeing you more involved in FTF. I’m looking forward to the future with you.

[@scenicscotland1]

First stumbled across Parker/FTF when I was starting to dabble in learning videography, paid for the Real Estate course and never looked back. Great content and so useful as I started to get work off the back of it. Always enjoyed Landons videos throughout as well and look forward to seeing him take forward the brand. All the best Parker, time with the kids is so important when they are young. Blink and you miss it!

[@mrheng562]

[@mrmeza78]

Parker’s video on how to setup for an interview was the first camera video that I watched. It took me down a KZbin rabbit hole helping me with my videography and photography future. Glad Parker has his mind focused on his family and burn himself out. Also glad to see the channel moving forward.

[@mezmedia5411]

Full Time Filmmaker is more than just a course. Thank you, guys, for making filmmaking more accessible, congratulations Landon.

In the almost 4 years I've been a part of FTF I've captured many memorable moments on video for my family, shot millions of dollars in real estate, created branding content for my buddy's startup, and even had JJ Abrams watch my Star Wars short film. Thank you for the guidance, Parker, and for kindling my love for filmmaking. Landon, I'm excited for this next chapter. Can't wait to see what's next for FTF!

[@LucianPetreanSolo]

Such an amazing transition into the future of FTF and I truly believe that this is what is all about ... Passing on the knowledge and sharing the passion the love for filmmaking as a community. Well done guys I am so happy to be part of this amazing community.

[@nmtvphotog]

Congratulations. I was already a fulltime filmmaker when Parker was working with Devin. When he started FTF, I joined in the early push as part of my continued education. This online film education is the best in the space. It always has been and always will be. This community is what I enjoy the most. I have no doubt Landon will continue the legacy Parker left. Good luck parker. It was been great getting to know you over the years.

[@shawndlugozima]

Congratulations to you both. Tour Channel is definitely what got me started and definitely helped me get better. So haply to hear it's in the right hands.
