Reflecting on the past 12 months, my most significant area of growth has been in enhancing my skills in collaborative filmmaking. Working on projects like ‘7 Flames Till Death: The Pit and the Pendulum’ with Sukavision has deepened my appreciation for the dynamics of teamwork in the film industry. This journey, rooted in South West Michigan and extending to Chicago, has taught me the value of diverse perspectives and the power of collective creativity in filmmaking.

I’ve learned that while individual skills like storytelling and technical expertise are crucial, the ability to bring together a team, harnessing each member’s unique talents towards a shared vision, is what truly elevates a film. This growth in understanding and fostering effective collaboration has not only improved my work as a filmmaker but has also enriched the creative output of Sukavision as a whole.

As someone who values continuous learning, this focus on collaborative excellence has been both a challenge and a reward. It’s a skill that I believe is essential for any filmmaker, especially in an industry that is as dynamic and team-oriented as ours. Looking ahead, I’m excited to apply this enhanced collaborative approach to future projects, pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve at Sukavision.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
The people who deserve credit is everyone who has given a hand or helped us out. Reflecting on my path as a filmmaker with Sukavision, originating from South West Michigan and extending our creative horizon to Chicago, three pivotal qualities and skills have been central to this journey. First and foremost, creative storytelling has been the cornerstone. Capturing and translating unique narratives into film, especially for projects like ‘7 Flames Till Death: The Pit and the Pendulum’, required a deep connection with the art of storytelling. This is something I believe every aspiring filmmaker should immerse themselves in – understanding the dynamics of a compelling story is essential.

Secondly, technical expertise in film production has played a crucial role. Being adept in cinematography, editing, and overall production management is vital in bringing a vision to life on screen. This is a skill set that I’ve honed over the years, and I encourage upcoming filmmakers to invest time in mastering these technical aspects.

Lastly, the ability to collaborate effectively has been fundamental. Filmmaking is a collective endeavor, and understanding how to work cohesively with a team, including talents from diverse backgrounds in South West Michigan and Chicago, is crucial. I’ve learned that fostering a collaborative environment where every member’s contribution is valued leads to the creation of truly impactful films.

These three elements – storytelling, technical mastery, and collaboration – are what I attribute Sukavision’s success to. They are not just skills but pillars that uphold the essence of what it means to be a filmmaker. For those beginning their journey, focusing on these areas will not only enhance your craft but also prepare you for the diverse challenges and opportunities in the film industry.
