    Captain Sinbad is a RUclipsr I’ve been very much enjoying watching lately. He makes hilarious skits of famous people in the personal development world and also makes videos about personal development principles and how he implements those into his own life. He also often speaks about his aspiration of becoming a successful actor, and his struggle in doing so.
    In this video I explore how aspiring creatives and artists can put themselves on stage instead of having to get through gatekeepers of the industry. I believe that these days its very much possible to make money as an artist or creative and turn pro without having to get a lucky break. You can build your own audience and become successful as a filmmaker, writer or other kind of artist. Simultaneously practicing your skillset and building your audience and making some money. You just have to be smart about it. Put yourself and your work out there and try to market yourself correctly. Marketing is one of the most valuable skill to learn for creators and artists.

    Talking on camera is hard! And yes the Dutch accent. But I wanted to try something new for a while and besides analyzing films also try to pull out my own camera and film stuff. I've been watching creators like Nathaniel Drew, Better Ideas and Captain SInbad a lot and wanted to try something similar, finding a balance between that kind of content and video essays. It's not perfect but it's exciting to practice a new skillset. There will still be plenty of film analysis video essays coming on this channel Thank you for watching and go check out Captain Sinbad's channel.
    Stay safe out there everyone

    Great video, Lars! I feel like anyone trying to do anything creative is missing out by not making content online in some capacity. Whether through Twitch, Instagram, RUclips. Too many people are playing the old game of trying to get an agent or manager, trying to get the work brought to them instead of creating something themselves. There's obviously no guarantees that just by sharing your stuff online that people will see it or like it, but there's no guarantees the old way either, at least this way it's somewhat in your control. And honestly I firmly believe that anyone making good enough content for long enough will get noticed, no one stays a secret forever.

    Stephen Pressfield wrote in the War of Art, "The Pro reminds himself it's better to be in the arena, getting stomped by the bull, than to be up in the stands or out in the parking lot" (pg 90).
    He wrote this seemingly prophetically in 2002, years before the RUclips explosion.
    Thank you for your quality work. It has had profound impact on my life and the videos I publish on my RUclips channel.
    P.s. nice to see your face and the new flow.

    I agree that "making it passed the gatekeepers " in Hollywood is difficult. Just walking up the proverbial broad road to the front door and knocking wont work for many people. Thanks to social media today, there are many ways to "make it " in film and television.If you give up after being rejected, then so be it.Go do something else.If you willingly quit so easily, then your fate lies in another direction.
    But for people who are born creatives, who truly have something to create and share their talents with the rest of the world , they won't give up. Nothing can stop them.They will find a way to succeed. They will connect with classes, online forums, RUclips, Venmo, etc. and get involved and put what they've got into the world. This is especially true right now during our current crisis.
    Creative people are doing what they love where ever they are sheltered in place. This is a fantastic time to hone your craft and skills. If you love to dance, then dance every day. Love to act? Watch inspiring films or read and act out screenplays. Want to write? download a writing software and bang out 3-20 pages everyday. If you want to make music, start practicing with your instrument and record it with your phone.
    We all have enormous amounts of time to ourselves right now. All we need is to give ourselves permission and commit to practicing. "Put the 10,000 hours in" that it takes to develop the skills to be good at your craft. The time is now.Best of luck

    As much I disagree with Rogan, I can't help but sympathize with this very vulnerable moment in his life. We have all been in disadvantaged positions of power dynamics, and it sucks. And as a performer of any kind, it is the most visceral experience, because of how entangled your art is to your personhood.

    Great advice! that's what I've been doing lately. Releasing a new episode of my series every week. After doing video work for 5 years I've learnt that it is so important to be creating consistently. How else would we expect to be found? And like you say it builds your skills and I just love documenting my journey for others to learn from as I improve.
