Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in.

Whether you’re building worlds on set or crafting the story that brings them to life, the journey of a creative is all about transforming ideas into reality. This week’s Coffee & Content is here to inspire and empower you to tackle those challenges head-on.

First up, in this fantastic video, Adam Savage takes us inside the art department of SILO during the production of Season 2. Watching the intricate planning and design process that goes into building the awe-inspiring sets is nothing short of motivating. From architectural models to the fully built-out secret algorithm room, this video is a masterclass in turning imagination into something tangible. It’s a great reminder that every detail—no matter how small—plays a crucial role in bringing a vision to life.

And speaking of finishing strong, let’s talk about one of the biggest challenges many filmmakers face: post-production financing. I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve seen get so close to the finish line, only to hit a wall because of unaccounted-for expenses during production. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been grinding for years, this is advice every filmmaker needs in their back pocket. Learn more in this video!

Both of these videos highlight an essential truth about this business—it’s not just about creativity, but about preparation, problem-solving, and relentless determination. From pre-production to post, success in this industry requires the courage to dream big and the discipline to back those dreams with action.
