    As a director myself but more in the corporate scene, this is super informative. I never knew how high level commercial works, thank you very much for your video. Can't wait to see more !

    i'm in my fourth year of being a commercial director myself, yet I still feel like theres so much more that I need to know for me to become an effective one. I never had any mentor coming in to the business. I was lucky enough to be represented thru my friend's recommendation, but I've been navigating thru this whole thing almost half blindly. The information you give is so valuable, and although I'm already familiar with the processes, I'm still picking up so much from the content that you put out. The information and insights you share as a practicing commercial director is so hard to come by. It's like I've found a mentor in you. I'm very thankful I got to come across your channel.

    Thank you so much for this, Nur. Your transparency first of all is so refreshing and makes the info all the more valuable, and also going through your process helped a lot. Just like in Gian Carlo's channel - since you mentioned other filmmakers, drawing your information from your own experience made me a subscriber. All the best to you and thank you again!

    One of the worst mistakes I made was picking a family friendly course over my own preference. I recently started taking classes on photography and videography since I am always intrigued by movies. I hope to make something of myself with what I'm learning since what I had chosen is proving to be invalid on my life. I'm going to trust myself as I pursue this. Thanks for your content 👏

    Well said about schools not being able to keep up with new practices and current ideas. I have a bachelors degree but only credit that school with 1% of my productive knowledge. I didn’t think that’s how it would go. But like you, I saw other creators and decided to share one more perspective of a working DP.
    I’m new to your channel. Just subscribed. Keep sharing your perspective.

    Hi Nur! So glad I got recommended this video, you address so many things I’ve experienced and or am wanting to dig into! As a director who is trying to learn the money/buiness side of things KEEP TALKING ABOUT MONEY! Could do a more in depth, specific details on how you became a director? And if you were restarting today, what would be your strategy, etc!

      I feel like everyone has the same 24 hrs / day. It’s that if it’s really valuable to you you get rid of distractions and unimportant tasks and be surprised how much free time there can be.
      That said, there are still duties like family/kids, pets, caregiving, etc.
      But at least it was the case for me and I found time for this channel by saying no to a ton of different less valuable things.
