Filmmaker Freedom is a new kind of filmmaking website for a new generation of filmmakers.

It exists for one specific reason:

Things you'll never read about here:

• The latest cameras, lenses, support gear, etc.

• Massive Hollywood directors and movies

• "Hacks" for making your footage more "cinematic"

• Politics

Instead, you'll find in-depth articles about:

• Conquering the psychological forces that hold us back in our careers

• Making films that you're genuinely proud to share with the world

• Building an audience of true fans, and earning your living from them

• Bypassing the industry, and forging your own entrepreneurial path

If you're thinking to yourself, "That sounds great! Where do I sign up?" you should most definitely do so. My very best writing is reserved for my email peeps.

And just in case you're curious, here are few of the best articles I've published in the past year.

And a few select episodes of the
Filmmaker Freedom Podcast:

So, Who's In Charge Here?

That would be Rob Hardy.

Rob’s a filmmaker and writer who lives in Tucson, Arizona. He runs this site singlehandedly, and loves every second of it.

Rob originally founded Filmmaker Freedom out of frustration. After several years of writing for a popular filmmaking blog, he realized there needed to be something better — an educational resource that focused on the things that actually matter, rather than the trivial, clickbaity nonsense that clogs our collective newsfeeds.

Alright, now you know everything you need to know about me and Filmmaker Freedom. It's time for you to go forth and dive into the backlog of articles on this site.

Or sign up for the email list, where my very best content lives.

I hope these resources serve you well and help you along your filmmaking journey.

Here's to your success,

-Rob Hardy
