NO FILM SCHOOL
About this episode

What does “work-life balance” mean to you? How do you come up with new ideas for projects? Can you believe Tarantino is working on his final film of all time?


In today’s episode, No Film School’s Charles Haine, Jason Hellerman, GG Hawkins, and Yaro Altunin discuss:

  • Freelance Brain - what it is and how to deal with it
  • How the fear of missing out on opportunities leads us to never taking breaks
  • The unique yet effective things we do in order to generate new ideas
  • Having discipline when it comes to setting boundaries with yourself
  • What we know about Quentin Tarantino’s final film, The Movie Critic
  • Why it’s hard for us to believe Tarantino will only make 10 movies in his career
  • DJI’s exciting new camera system, the Ronin 4D Flex
  • Why the next frontier for technology needs to be affordability 



Memorable Quotes

  • “I’m trying to survive and thrive in a culture that I didn’t dictate or build.” [8:39]
  • “You can do better work when you’re present and healthy and not anxious and stressed.” [15:53]
  • “Creativity really thrives within boundaries.” [36:07]
