Justin Miller: Director in Atlanta, Georgia.

Hi folks,question how important you think it is to move to LA??? To break in the industry??

Is it just me, or does directing frustrate you?

Hey Hey Stage 32,

My name is Justin Miller, I'm a Director in Atlanta, GA that has a passion, not only for the medium, but also for creating content that inspires positive (progressive) social change. I signed up a long time ago, but recently rediscovered Stage 32 thanks to a few Indie Film Hustle Podcasts.

I have extensive experience working as crew, having worked in various aspects of this crazy industry since the age of 14, both on and off-set.

I'm currently spending my time developing a few short form projects for production later in the year and searching out writers that have something to say, all while crewing commercials on the side.

I look forward to engaging with the community, and am shamelessly including a link to my reel below!

Thanks for taking the time to read!

- Justin

Hey all, I thought I create my first non-introductory post to talk about how I chase this Directing rabbit through daily routines. Honestly, I'd love feedback as well as some insights into what others do daily, but I'd really love for this gives some folks some ideas of what they can integrate into their daily routine.

First and foremost, I should mention that I am a freelancer, so this schedule is someone that does have days off.

My first big revelation was that I wanted to Direct for a living, not that I wanted to be a Director, not that I thought it'd be cool to Direct. I want to Direct content for a living. What this revelation told me is that I MUST spend at least 8 hours/day focusing on moving towards the goal of directing for a living.

As a freelance crew member, I used to spend days which I wasn't on-set for 12+ hours, trying to find a way to fill my day. Going to the gym, Watching TV, sometimes being productive. By forcing myself to focus on my filmmaking career for at least 8 hours I've seen a HUGE uptick in my productivity and I feel like I am actively on my way to creating a career for myself doing what I want to do for a living.

I wonder if anyone here knows if there is a person or entity in this field who takes a synopsis to different producers and gets them sold. I ask because I have a few very good ideas for movies but I would love to sell the concept before i spend time writing the full script.

I want to write and film my own feature length movie, but I am lacking funds for more equipment because let's face it, you can't make a feature length film with one camera. How did you get your start and how much did you spend on your first film?

Hey Justin, I'm the CTO and lead developer at Stage32.com. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback about the site. I'd love to hear your comments!
