Trailer | Daniel Fazio - Transitioning from cinematographer to writer/producer/director

One Good Take

How do you go from being a director of photography to a successful business owner of a film production company starting from scratch?

Some people say you have to be a specialist to succeed in this modern world.

And there’s a lot of truth in that. But filmmaker Daniel Fazio has gone about things differently.

In his own words, he’s not been amazingly successful at any one thing, but he’s been pretty damn good at a lot of things - and that’s what has enabled him to build a solid business.

Perhaps more interestingly, his capacity to take on new skills and adapt to new ways of getting ahead as a filmmaker, has helped him better understand who he is and what he wants in life.

If you’re just starting out as a filmmaker, or even if you want more insight into working with creatives, this episode is packed with valuable observations about the process of getting all kinds of film projects off the ground and distributed.
