The Ant Theory: How to Keep Moving When Things Fall Apart

from The Filmmaking Stuff Podcast Hosted by Filmmaking Stuff

In filmmaking, things fall through all the time—financing disappears, actors drop out, deals change, and rejection comes with the territory. In this episode, I explain my Ant Theory and how I’ve used it throughout my filmmaking career: instead of sitting around thinking about what went wrong, figure out what you need to do next and take action. It’s a simple approach to persistence, handling rejection, overcoming filmmaking setbacks, and continuing to move toward your goal.
