Another Reel!

So I'm still trying to get this movie made that I've been working on for years and a producer I'm working with told me I needed to make a directing reel to sell me to investors. I've mostly just directed music videos. I put this together. What do yall think? Would you hire me?

Another Reel!

I mostly take the question as rhetorical, but my sis is a director in LA. She saw more traction from investors after creating / directing $30-50k budget shorts and getting those into festival circuit. It’s rough out there. No idea if your music videos are like that, but if you’re not set on feature as your first approach, you could get some solid traction / wide response to a short (especially with your audience) that could maybe snowball to the feature. If you can activate any part of your network to engage your short, being a creator with an audience could def be part of your pitch. FOMO moneybags out there love to think something is a “risk free” success. You know your ish better tho.
