Episode 28: A New Month, A New Book 🎬
🎙 This is Denis O’Brien from Make Your Film, and today we step into February. Those of us making films have some homework to do!
Your Film Plan is Due Soon!
I didn’t get the form up on the website yet, so you have another day or so to submit your one-pager outlining:
✔️ Your film’s schedule
✔️ A rough outline of how you’ll get there
It’s not about being perfect, but about laying out the plan. As Mike Tyson says:
💥 "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."
So, this month, I challenge you to grow into your potential.
What Does Success Really Mean?
HG Wells put it best:
"Wealth, notoriety, place, and power are no measures of success whatsoever. The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have been and what we have become."
And Henry Ford? He believed:
"There is no man living who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can do!"
So DO IT.
4 Rules for Making Progress:
1️⃣ Concentrate on One Main Goal
2️⃣ Commit to Continual Improvement
3️⃣ Forget the Past
4️⃣ Focus on the Future
When you have purpose and you’re actively growing into your potential, you’re already on your way.
Making a Film is Like Crossing an Ocean 🌊
You build your boat as you go—making it bigger and safer with each step. But when you shove off, expect rough seas.
🚢 Set your course.
🎯 Mark your targets.
💪 March determined into every day.
We’re Here For You 🎬

✅ Emotional support
✅ Hard-earned wisdom
✅ Connections that might help you
