Welcome to the Filmmaker Reel Contest 2020! Reels are the most efficient and cost-effective way to secure paying work as a filmmaker. Most producers, agencies, and clients don't care about where you went to film school. They care about whether you can produce the work they want to be created. A reel is a fast (60-90 second) compilation of your best work. It shows potential employers and clients the quality you as a filmmaker brings to projects.

Submit your reel here by Dec 31, 2020: http://garrettsammons.com/reel-contes...

‪@epidemicsound‬'s Commercial Plan allows filmmakers to use ALL of their music, SFX and stems for ANY project! That means YouTube, TikTok, IG, client work, spec work, personal projects, short films, and anything else you want to use it for. This makes music licensing both cost-effective and easy.

I began on YouTube to help bridge the technical and financial gap filmmakers face by giving away the same content I talk about in my classrooms. Learn tricks of the trade, discover new gear, stay up with filmmaking trends, dive into how I pull off cinematic looks, and so much more.
