How to become a freelance filmmaker

This is a great page I found about how to become a freelance filmmaker. It covers many subjects like how to network and one of the things it also covers which I found interesting is how to budget. It recommends building some savings before becoming going freelance. This idea is to cover you if you are struggling to find work and ensures you don’t have to worry about money too badly another thing I have read is how you must realise that especially in the early stages of being freelance that you won’t have much money and the only way to build money is to stay consistent in your ability and performance and also how to network to ensure you gather a strong cliental who come back to you for work. I think by studying articles like this I think that one of the best ways to approach becoming a freelance filmmaker is to build a lot of your own kit so you are relying less on other people and also how that already working in the business for some time beforehand may be a good thing is not only can one improve their ability but also improve their contacts who can help and support you should you chose to go freelance. This is something which seems to be a recurring theme in many of these articles in terms of building reliable contacts.
