#10 - Setting Goals as a Filmmaker, and as a Human Being

We actually did it. Episode 10 of Joy Ride. This officially puts us in the top 1% of podcasts ever... probably.Since we hit our one clear goal of making it to double digits, we are talking all about goal setting. How do you go from lofty, impossible dreams (like buying your mum the Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz or shooting a narrative feature) to an actual, realistic to-do list? We chat about failing forward, why we are shooting "extended sketches" instead of short films, and what it really took to get our feature The Price made.Plus, standard Joy Ride chaos: losing each other around Old Street, dodging London traffic, Dave Mustaine's negative goals, and nearly crushing balls on the bike frame. The great white shark of podcasts never stops moving.Don't have time to watch two knobheads on bikes? You can now listen to the audio-only version on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.0:00 Welcome to Episode 1003:30 Big dreams vs. incremental to-do lists06:11 Why Dave Mustaine had the wrong goals08:29 Getting completely lost around Moorgate10:41 Lessons from shooting our feature film, The Price16:06 The loftiest goal: Buying the Ruby Slippers18:23 Moving from corporate shoots to narrative features23:23 The universe strikes back (and bike frame accidents)29:28 Why we don't make "short films" anymore30:49 Now available on Spotify and Apple PodcastsLike, share, subscribe.Live fast, die old.Joyscroll.
