This was very informative. Thank you 😊 Reiterating the fact that we have to multitask to make a living in this business and fulfill our creative dreams.
yo those white frames are sick as hell. does anyone know where he got them from? I can't tell the brand. looks like tom ford? the gold cross on the sides?
Damn, I didn't realize how important this is, and I barely slept 3 hours today, so my comment might not even be sound. Writers should be embracing TV medium and directors should aim for films only. I see a pattern, since a writter needs of much more run time to be able to plop all their written ideas, thus spanning dozens of chapters and their respective seasons, that's why you can't expect to see your book in a single movie without scrapping stories unless the book is short, but if you write a series comprised in volumes, then your only lane for that is making a TV series, instead of a trilogy of films and so... It really makes sense. After all, for your series you don't need a film budget, unless you want your chapters every season to be as beautiful as a movie -- which is made easier with how postprocessing has advanced A TON to achieve the same effects as seen in films very expeditiously -- guess that's why I will only be able to see my novel in a series rather than in 6 or more different movies. Avatar really is a very ambitious project, but I believe it would have benefited of being a series spanning seasons, rather than becoming part of the longest movies list. Guess what defines a director from a writer is ambition and a pinch of "I has more resources than thou". Ah, this video is not only an advice for future directors, but also an advice for future writers that desire to have their compelling series into the digital screens. Very interesting.
Pete has always been available to be open about what he experienced. For years, filmmakers remained vague about budgets and other bts “stuff”. He’s tells it like it is.
He's not wrong, that is his real experience. But you have to keep in mind, a lot of people who aren't qualified, make movies, direct, produce, write, and star in their own movies, and have made a career out of creating shlock. So just do it, don't worry about whether or not you are ready or good enough yet. Neil Breen, Andy Sidaris, Roger Corman, and tons of others made terrible movies, but at least they had fun and made a career out of it.

“Film is the director’s medium and TV is the writer’s medium.”
That’s what I keep saying
@@dornravlin Makes great sense to me too.
Yep it’s very true
My first time hearing that and realizing that makes much much sense
Explain please.
Pete’s podcast is very informative as well
Good to know, thanks!
This is a great interview! Pete is a GOAT!
You have to play the long game.
A lesson I'm learning as well.

What did you like about this video?
His glasses
Honest talk about the business side of things..

His vulnerability and honesty!
very solid advice.
Pete is brilliant!
Both mediums still need writers and directors. Thinking that you should be locked into one or the other based on your craft is a limiting belief.
Yes , but one medium is more over the other in each ...
Judging by the thumbnail it looks like a video about why the chair doesn’t work.
