Your reel isn’t the problem. Your positioning is.
If you’ve ever sent your work to a director and heard nothing back, this video is for you. A strong reel doesn’t automatically translate into getting hired — especially in corporate filmmaking. Directors aren’t just looking for talent. They’re looking for proof that you’ve already done the specific type of work they need. In this video I break down why that gap exists, what it’s actually costing you, and how to start closing it.
In this video:
- Why a general reel won’t get you hired for corporate work
- The real difference between wedding, music video, and corporate cinematography
- What directors actually need to see before they trust a DP
- The hidden cost of not niching down — financially and creatively
- How I built a multi-year client relationship starting from a single connection
- A practical first step to landing your first corporate project
Who this is for: Aspiring DPs and cinematographers who want to work on higher budget corporate films, branded documentaries, or commercial projects — and aren’t sure why their reel isn’t converting into bookings.
