Creative Visualization for Multihyphenate Filmmakers
Today, we're diving even deeper into the transformative power of creative visualization, a technique that's not just about dreaming big, but about making those dreams a reality.
Let's start with a fundamental concept: everything is energy, including our thoughts. This energy has a magnetic quality, meaning our thoughts and feelings can attract similar energies.

How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome as An Artist and Filmmaker
Today, we're opening up about a topic that's close to our hearts – imposter syndrome. This term describes a form of intellectual self-doubt, prevalent among 70% of people, and it often manifests as a fear of being exposed as a fraud. In creative fields, this feeling is even more common due to the inherent vulnerability in our work.
We (Keylee and Micah, the duo behind Bob Billiams Productions) want to share a personal insight: we've grappled with imposter syndrome too. It rears its head time and again, challenging our sense of accomplishment and worth. We've realized that at the root of these feelings is fear – a natural companion on the journey of any artist. This fear stems from the vulnerability we embrace in our creative expressions. Remember, it's okay to feel fear; it's a sign that you're pushing boundaries and exploring new territories. The key is not to let fear control you. Embrace it as a part of your journey, but don't let it steer the ship.
