PREVIEW: Taking Control Of Your Creativity - With Viral Filmmaker Phil Beastall!

podcast preview Feb 24, 2019

Director, Phil Beastall took over Christmas 2018, with a short film titled, Love Is A Gift - you can watch it below.

I saw it on Facebook, cried, and felt COMPELLED to share it with my friends. 3 weeks later, that video had racked up 8 MILLION views, and Phil was all over morning TV.

Was it luck? Could Phil do it again - had he discovered a formula for viral video? Or... was it hard work, patience, and a twist of fate that created the perfect storm?

I invited Phil to record this podcast, to explain all!

During our chat, Phil and I discussed:

Where Love Is A Gift came from, and how it was born out of frustration.
How the film received very little love itself, for more than 4 years!
Why Phil decided to release it again in 2018.
The media circus that followed.
Why it's critical to STOP WAITING - and start taking control of your own creativity.
How, in reality, the world owes you NOTHING at all!
Phil's latest music video, starring actor Peter Capaldi.
The importance of letting go of control.
Why you should aim to work with people more talented than you!
How running changed both mine and Phil's lives!

Why you just need to stop worrying!
