Here's a conversation I had with my friend, exceptional photographer & videographer, Michael Cummings. Michael is one year my junior and is currently on a very similar path to me when I was in his position - especially now that he's a senior at Drake University. We talk about the trials & tribulations of creating content, how we've learned what we've learned, and how we've been trying to balance our regular lives with our professional ones.

Last year, I met with a good friend and fellow Drake student (at the time), Hannah Gromen! In this 90 minute conversation, we talked about everything including the start of my own filmmaking journey, the value of her undergraduate digital media degree in today's world, and other personal information that I'm honestly surprised we brought up.  The audio from my microphone on my end got blown out around the 30-minute mark, so I apologize. I thought the conversation was still good enough to keep the whole thing. But I also do understand if it's too annoying to listen to. DM me on IG! @louisluongproductions Text Me!

It's been so long and I apologize! I recorded this episode (and a few more) over a year ago and am now starting to get around to uploading them. In this episode, I talk with fellow videographer & video strategist Daniel Rivera from Take 10 Video. We discuss everything from our common beginnings, to learning how to get commercial gigs, to a huge betrayal from his employer/start-up partner that forever changed the trajectory of his entrepreneurial career.
