SUBJECT: Freelancing Tips

Hello Joel, and Stephen

I have recently entered the “working world” upon graduating from university. I have graduated with a degree in Digital Media Production. A “movie” degree as we call it. One of my options is to go into film freelancing for people’s weddings, ceremonies, or other events. Joel, as someone who does art freelance, what are some things I need to seriously consider, and know if I were to go this route? Any tips are helpful! 

On a different note, I recommend watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney Plus. The Percy Jackson series was my favourite book series, (Kinda still is.) and I think it’s about time we got a good recreation of those books in cinema form. 

Thanks for the wonderful podcast, and the six-plus years of entertainment you have provided for me thus far.

Cheers,

Lord_Valor

PS: Joel, I am still waiting for you to try Subnautica!
