STORY: How a Full-Time Producer Makes Time for Her Own Films
One of the challenges of being a filmmaker is deciding whether you want to play the lottery or remain satisfied with dividend stocks.

And by that I mean, making your own films and hoping one will turn your career into a successful one, or playing it safe and having a regular job while trying to pursue your passion on the side.

In my case, I attempted both.

The first option led me to an extremely anxious year, where I began focusing on the bills I had to pay and losing the energy, passion, and desire to be a filmmaker.

I then opted for an office job, and with that, I learned that you really don’t know what you've got 'til it’s gone.

Thankfully, my office job is working as a full-time producer for a media company. So really, I’m fortunate to be doing what I love everyday.

But of course, nothing in life is butterflies and rainbows, and that job comes with long production hours, lots of energy and multi-tasking between projects, and by the time the clock strikes 6pm I’m ready to go on hiatus in my bed and watch Parks and Rec until I’m asleep.
