Hey guys, welcome to the show.

This is something new.

I'm not sure where to look.

I'm not sure what to do with my hands.

This is a podcast.

This is also a video series.

I'm primarily going with the video.

That's, I'm trying to play to my strengths. This is a new thing for me. I'm primarily going with the video. I'm trying to play to my strengths.

This is a new thing for me. I'm just getting started, but I'm excited. The show is called

Ground Up. It's either the Ground Up show, the Groundup podcast, whatever you want to call it,

it's going to be a hybrid. It's going to be a lot of different things. But what I want to do

is talk about how to start something from the ground

up. I've met with so many filmmakers, photographers, graphic designers, incredibly talented

people, many filmmakers who are more talented than myself,

and for whatever reason, they give up,

or they do not continue to create films and create art,

they perhaps end up in a job,

not all the times, but sometimes in a job that's not fulfilling that they don't like.

So now that I've had some, a bit of success or at least successes, I define it, I want to be

able to help out and give back and give advice to people who are just getting started out.

I was reminded of the biggest mistake that I've ever made in my life.

And I want to say the biggest mistake that I've ever made as a filmmaker slash camera operator.
