Have you ever attempted a year long filmmaking project? I haven't! So I thought it would be fun to introduce you to three women from FilmingLife® Academy who HAVE, and who continue doing them every single year. We talk about what motivates them to do this each year, their tips for getting started and staying on track, what it's meant to them and their families to have them (you'll be surprised at some of the responses!), and what they'd do differently now if they were starting all over again. It's such a great episode, full of ideas and inspiration for anyone considering creating a year long film themselves.  --------- Join FilmingLife® Academy and learn how to make films today!
