Pursuing Art And Filmmaking In My 30's

The thought that it would ever be "too late" to try anything creative in life makes no sense, but I was guilty of it at one point.
In this video I talk about that period of time and what got me out of that head space.

BRUH! I’m 43, & finally pursuing my passion in music & preaching. It’s never too late to go where God leads you.

[@DarrenNaylor]

Love to hear it! Life is for living, bro 🤝

[@timtense]

I'm pursuing KZbin at age 36. It's definitely the best platform as a creative outlet! You got this 💪🏼

[@Hoolagans]

keep going brother 📈📈📈

[@MTLMT]

It’s funny for me to tell you keep up (probably) the good work because I am 60 and I started doing KZbin one year ago but also I am old enough to tell you IT’S NEVER TOO LATE.😁

[@themarekch]

38 turning 39 and picking up a camera 📷 again after 12 years of not doing any filming. It's definitely different now starting up again.

[@themarekch]

​@MTLMT ❤ fantastic 👏 yep never to late.

[@hikreatyvas]

As a 26 year old dude with an overwhelming, self-imposed desire to "make it" before turning 30, I approve this message. Thank you

[@DarrenNaylor]

Just getting started, brotha 🤝

[@KarlSkorger]

Bruhhhh, thank God I'm figuring out all early on... I'm 24 and i think I've found my purpose 🤲

[@jess-perna-fine-art]

Great video and intelligent, thoughtful ideas. Thanks!

[@abusayeed4787]

This guy is going to BIG on KZbin.

[@DarrenNaylor]

I'm just happy to get to create and connect with others on here but I appreciate you!

[@andresjoberg]

This is a good one :) Having turned *50* a month ago, and published 4 videos on my own channel these last 4 weeks, creeping up on consistency, the most important takeaway for anyone is probably that creativity doesn’t «start» or «end», and the goals one set for oneself is just that, self imposed goals - and the larger and more diffuse those goal are, the less chance there is one will actually achieve it, or priorities will change over time. Instead, setting a general direction one wants to go in, and setting smaller, measurable, short term goals to get there, weekly or monthly, allows for more flexibility, more adaptability, and most importantly: you are achieving victories almost every week and month - if a goal isn’t achieved one week it can probably be done next week, or you realize the goal wasn’t the right one and change it. By setting short term goals, focusing on achievements that build something you can build upon (be it doing a small video every week, signing up for an acting class, going to an industry event, making small 30 second scenes lighting and filming oneself to get practice acting as well as understanding the system around the actor. Finding similar smaller goals and tasks for other areas if ones interests are something else is equally achieveable, building the path stone for stone - and at some point in your path building you will encounter others who will join you on building that path, or maybe someone wil come along and offer you a ride, or pay you to build a path for them for a while, taking you in new directions and maybe altering those goals on the way. But the key is to never stop building that path - once you do, you settle in, and the view you have is set. But: even more key is this: if you stop building that path, you can always start building again at a later time: sure, it might be harder, it might take longer, but it’s possible. Having started out in my 20’s in ‘94 wanting to be an industrial designer, the internets showed up, and by random chance I learnt writing html, got a job in a small startup, continued on that path making websites for some years through the dot com boom of the late 90s and early 20s, started working in an ad agency doing web-stuff, but at the same time doing graffiti and stensil art on the side, learning video and sample based music production, dj’ing a bit on the side, building some movie props on the side, going freelance, and suddenly: curveball: 10 years ago starting a shop for classic roller skates … in Norway, where there currently is 6 inches of fresh snow on the ground - while doing websites for customers, and now adding youtube-videos to the list of things. So it’s never to late to start, never to late to pick up on an old dream, never to late to continue, and never to late to change course and head in a new direction :)

[@chasingsmiles-bkelly]

In my 50’s too, your comment was very insightful and encouraging. Thank you!

[@andresjoberg]

@@chasingsmiles-bkelly Thank you for those kind words :)

[@Chuschannel]

Dude, I'm competing in MMA at 39. I started last year. Also, starting a filmmaking thing now. It's how I found this video of yours lol. Let's see how this goes...

[@DarrenNaylor]

That’s amazing, bro, best of luck to you in both 🤝💪

[@wandering_ari]

"I stopped yearning and started doing." This is such a crucial point that marks the start of a journey. There comes a certain tipping point where you find yourself NEEDING to begin. I appreciate your storytelling, your videos are captivating from start to finish.

[@JoeSchultz-gh5dw]

Real talk! I appreciate this message bro! I’m about to turn 41 and just recently had this revelation . I don’t have to be miserable working the jobs or seeking out careers that are more socially acceptable and make more money yet they don’t fulfill me. Photography, film making, art in general is something that makes me almost child like happy! lol. Great video and message

[@DarrenNaylor]

Amen, bro! It really does give life so much joy with all of the opportunities to create and experiment. I appreciate you 🤝

[@miniscenesgb]

I started my channel at 55. Its different at my age I think, but definitely not too late. Loving your videos, thanks

[@chasingsmiles-bkelly]

I’m in my 50’s and just now getting the opportunity to pursue passions. It’s never too late.

[@CoffeandTea1]

That’s true 55 years old mum and grandma just begin to enjoy doing what I love doing

[@21kittensArtStudio]

Watching this video at 45+ yrs old like 👀👀 Man, your words are exactly what I needed to hear this morning. I feel like no matter what I do, I never grow nor get better at anything. Still feel like I'm finding my footing, trying to figure out the story I wanna tell. You are not just a great artist, but a great inspiration too, and I'm happy to have found your channel. Thank you Darren!!

[@DarrenNaylor]

I really appreciate that and I'm glad to hear it. I think that's just life, we're all trying to find our footing. Trying to figure out what's next. These easiest story to tell is your own. Start talking about your life and it'll be much easier to create. Then you can start getting specific. Make a video about being 45 and trying to find your footing. You'd be surprised at how many others feel the same way 🤝

[@MaggieOliverZoey]

Do what you love and work hard and the benefits will come.

[@TrueMobster]

Great video man, just discovered your channel!

[@KevinsitoArgueta]

It’s never too late you have one life to live & go take the options & risks you want to try out.

[@DarrenNaylor]

Preach!

[@JennaCreatesmov]

Wow. Felt this so deeply. Have a similar story to yours. About to 31 and now going to pursue filmmaking for real!

[@FBIbeats]

I’m pursuing KZbin in my 50’s! This is my second video of yours and it’s as amazing as the first. I’m excited to learn from you and expand my abilities!

[@DarrenNaylor]

Hell ya!

[@joaocorreiamedia]

It's never too late. I quit my corporate job a few years ago, and I'm now consistently trying to create my own production company, and I'm not even sure if that's the right step to take. But one has to move forward and take risks, or you'll end up in the last years of your life regretting not taking more chances. Go for it!

[@MaggieOliverZoey]

Good luck and hard work and it may just pay off. The only way to find out! People who run their own businesses work more hours but are happier. I do so I know! I hope you get what you are after.

[@CaptainIrish]

Your ability to tell a story is amazing bro.

[@rohitive]

Turning 30 in next 4 months and I’m still going with my passion for Art and Design. Never had any job but still surviving everyday with my passion and protecting it as well. Your video inspires me a lot to start with my pending stuff to do and get start with another one. Thank you for this video and motivation lots of power to you bro 👊 Keep Rocking

[@DarrenNaylor]

Love to hear it and Happy Early Birthday, bro!

[@ChristopherBalladarez]

Im an aspiring film maker that literally just turned 30 and started youtube thinking its too late. You my friend, I appreciate you for this. I feel inspired.

[@DarrenNaylor]

It's only too late if you never start at all. We're just getting started, brother 🤝

[@RivaReveals]

Great job on completing this art piece aka video. I enjoyed it and learned some good points. Not to mention, I'm in my 50s!

[@DarrenNaylor]

I appreciate you 😁

[@elizabethcreasey]

This video is a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

[@imKeshav]

I love how you do the "commentary via subtitles", just like me in my recent/only video on my channel. Also, thanks for the motivation Senpai, needed to hear this as a 25 y.o. brat, who's got a sh*t ton of gear, is skilled af but still struggling to find some funding for his upcoming shortfilm and is starting to get just a little bit stressed about it, yeah not too much, just a little bit 💰

[@DarrenNaylor]

Haha I appreciate it. I’m a very sarcastic person and that doesn’t always translate so I like using the subtitle commentary to highlight that. Find ways to do stuff alone and as cheap as possible so you’re always in control of your output. If you’re gonna wait on people, funding, etc. you might wait forever. I taught myself everything so I don’t have to wait on anyone anymore. If people join in, great, but I don’t depend on it.

[@imKeshav]

@@DarrenNaylor Thanks for the advice, yeah, I do all of my stuff alone and have upgraded my skills to a level that I wasn’t even close to just a year ago (and I used to be pretty skilled back then even by today’s standards), but the only challenge that I’m facing right now is that I’ve burned down all of my money in the process of upgrading myself and now I’m bone dried. I used to be a Top Rated Plus freelancer on Upwork and used to earn quite a few thousand dollars per week but now it’s just zero. And I don’t even know when I’ll get a single job next time ‘coz the job market has become a disastrous and dystopian hell where everyone expects you to be a Picasso or a Nolan just so they can “buy you as a slave” for 5 or 10 bucks. So, it’s more about survival at this point rather than just funding my short film 😅

[@ramonedixon]

As someone who briefly went to theatre school and finished high school with qualifications in English Literature and Fine Art, and then went on to become an architect that is about to turn 40, and is also trying to pursue KZbin, I totally relate to this video, loved hearing you talk about this subject. Keep up the great work.

[@ryanruizzz]

Definitely needed to hear this… just started my channel and was already feeling a bit discouraged😂 I appreciate the realness!

[@DarrenNaylor]

Totally normal...it feels like you're talking to noone for a WHILE so just don't even think about that. Just create and provide value as much as you can.

[@ryanruizzz]

@@DarrenNaylor love it! Thanks again man👌🏽

[@Alvinmichael223]

I am 21 stressing about getting my sh*t together, this was needed, life is short, but also long enough to have time to figure things out. The pressure is just external, you have to be patient with yourself. Thanks for this

[@DarrenNaylor]

Being hard on yourself and wanting more for yourself is a good thing. It means you care. Just make sure those feelings are directed towards goals. Try things, experiment, see what your interests are. If your aspirations are vague you’ll always feel like you’re not doing enough. Start getting specific and focus on things you want to do. Trust me, you have a lot of time 🤝

[@emilyjbeattie]

My husband sent me your channel because he thought it would inspire me in my own content creation. He was so so correct. Thank you for putting this into the world 🫶 I turn 32 this year and I’m careening down my own creative journey and this was so relatable.

[@DarrenNaylor]

I'm really glad to hear that and Happy Early Birthday! Just keep creating, experimenting and having fun. We're just getting started :)

[@TyHoudinifx]

I am very inspired by this. I also have a lot of ideas I'm not pursuing and I subscribed to you becasue I highly resonated with a lot of what you are saying. You are inspiring me to just do and stop making excuses for myself. I love your authenticity and I'm super drawn in by that.

[@wespacito]

Just turned 29, and I'm feeling this type of way as I approach 30. Love this message bro - just gotta keep going at your own pace

[@DarrenNaylor]

My 30's have been the best, you have a lot to look forward to 🤝

[@tryhardgamerthg5663]

Your never to old to pursue your dreams you just need to make it your life now and spend every spare minute doing it. I’m sure you will smash it. Enjoy the pursuit. I quit my medical job at 34 due to being unfulfilled and unhappy everyday. I’m now 38 and smashing it in my new field. 💪🏼

[@karacoldmusic]

Honestly man. Love that i found your channel. Im also an artist in my 30s feeling the same feels. Excited to join you on your journey. Keep doing you, the videos are impactful no doubt.

[@DarrenNaylor]

Love to hear it!!

[@richriffs_]

Man - I truly believe that people like yourself making videos like these deserve a lot more than just these comments. I think that you've taken me out of a seriously dark place. I was recently in a touch 9-5 position and was let go. I am trying my best to push content as a musician, and this really hit the spot with how I went through my 20s. I look forward to your next video man, they have helped/inspired me to get more creative.

[@DarrenNaylor]

Damn, bro, you’re gonna cry over my dinner! Hahah. I really appreciate that and I’m glad to hear it. Just keep creating, having fun and providing value. You can always find another job. It doesn’t have to fulfill you, just use it as a way to support yourself so you can always create. If your creativity eventually is able to support you financially, that’s great. But that takes time so just find a new job and don’t lose sight of your creativity. You got this 🤝

[@erniev3363]

You got this!! Can’t wait to see your next project!

[@jeremiemukuna]

So glad I found your channel, extremely relatable. It’s never too late to start!

Im glad that your video came across my timeline. Im 27 and recently decided to pursue content creation, film making, and live streaming. Its honestly a lot, a lot to learn, think, experiment, and digest. But I've been living miserable doing something I dont like just because people think it is the right way of life. Your video give me a lot of perspective and motivation for life ahead, thanks in advance man, I'll pray the best for you. Hope we cross path in the future🤞🏼

This video is lovely Darren. I'm also in my mid thirties and redoubling my focus on creative persuites. Thanks for the inspiration 🙌.

[@DarrenNaylor]

Love to hear it! 🙏🏻

[@parrisani]

We are the same age and this resonates with me so much. I got back into acting in January 2021, and I have been taking classes since then. I just filmed my first short last month that was something I created. Now I have the itch to learn more about cinematography. Having creative control in my acting career makes me happy. I also decided to start drawing again in December. I finally found a course to help guide me in March, and I’ve been steadily improving. I am learning everything about filmmaking and art here on KZbin. Sometimes I feel like it is too late for acting but stories like yours remind me that it’s not. Thank you for this video :)

[@DarrenNaylor]

Never too late for anything, my friend. The arts can be challenging but are so worth pursuing especially nowadays where we can create on our own. The acting world is insanely competitive and fickle so keep on creating those shorts and telling the stories you want to tell. At the end of the day that's what matters the most anyway. Just always keep creating :)

[@vanessakaliwo]

Not the Universe hacking the algorithm to make sure it got this video to me right when I needed it 😭 I'm a 32 year old digital painter building up my art business with the intention of getting into cinematography within the next couple years. I felt like I didn't want to choose between art and filmmaking... thank you for showing me that I don't have to and can definitely pursue both!

[@DarrenNaylor]

You can absolutely do both. Find ways to integrate the two. Do cinematic videos on your thought process around digital art ideas, tools you use, etc. You can start doing more cinematic style videos with just a phone, you don’t need gear or anything. Just start trying out ideas 👍

[@PTarleton-cs3ek]

Creeping up on 60 and finding I enjoy video editing but my skills need to be much improved compared with yours. In addition to a great video editor you are an amazing storyteller. Would you consider sharing some insights on how you go about creating, planning, and editing your videos? I picked up a few ideas from this video but would love some more.

[@HarristheEnlightened]

I LOVE the 2 videos of yours which I have seen and I subscribed. It's soo true social media makes you rush and feel bad. Move at other people's speed and your videos makes me feel so much at ease. I LOVE your energy !!. Thank you I have started my gaming KZbin channel and I am going to focus on that. I am 27 years and for some reason I feel I have to achieve everything by 30 hahah. But now I am long-term planning.

[@StarDawgCEO]

seeing alot of 30+ in the comment section but as a 22 year old turning 23 next week so much of this resonates with me. i am constantly putting myself under pressure to reach X goal by X age. And i still don't know what it is about that number 30. I guess it just looks like most people have it figured out by then when in reality that might not be true. Btw you look great for thirty!

[@RobinsonKris]

First, I really love your film/video making style. You've given me so many ideas with just this video. You're REALLY good. Second, I'm 56 and I'm just about to launch my YT channel about mid-life (buckle up, that's next for you) and the transition into elderhood. For people like me, hearing someone say "I'm not too old to do this" and they are 30, makes me snicker for just a second, but really, I get it. Many of us have had the same idea that we should have it all figured out by 30, but the good news is that there is SO much more to figure out. And the path between where you are now and where you are going is going to be filled with joys and sorrows you can't even imagine right now. You will have massive successes and painful failures and all of it will make you who you will be and you'll be so thankful for each iteration of yourself. Keep doing what you're doing and I look forward to following along.

[@DarrenNaylor]

I really appreciate the kind words :) I've learned to enjoy where I'm at and to be excited for what's to come because there's no stopping or slowing things down anyway. May as well enjoy the ride.

this is very real, m someone who hasnt accomplished anything big while everyone around is me more or less an over achiever. But when i turned 26 this Feb i thought of changing things, started actually using and learning how to use my camera (m sort of proud of the results) took some interest in color grading and ended up creating a LUT. and now i am thinking about learning story telling before i join my office as a lawyer this May. Anyone can become anyone if they work enough towards it

Bro a lawyer at 26 is such an accomplishment most would love to have. I think we can just always think the grass is greener. You'll always have time to create and you have something stable coming as well so that's a great combo!

I just turned 30 a month ago, I'm a ginger, and a filmmaker. This video spoke to me man haha.

right away I love the audio quality - which, me not having a mic is an excuse I use a lot to why I haven’t made “those” videos yet.

Here pursuing KZbin at 32 🤝🏾. I always had a reason life got in the way but finally value my time more than any other resource I have.

Life will always find ways to slow you down. The most important part when you get derailed is that you don't let it stop you for long. Always get back on track and keep creating 🤝
