This week I to chat with Gabriel Miller, a talented filmmaker and the brains behind The Industry newsletter.
Gabriel kicked off his journey as an editor, collaborating with big-name brands on nationwide campaigns. But he noticed something missing—a reliable source of news for folks in the film industry. So, he took matters into his own hands and birthed The Industry newsletter—a daily dose of what's hot and happening in the film biz, accessible to all.
During our chat, Gabriel opens up about his own journey breaking into the industry, talks about his work with those big brands, and shares some super helpful tips for anyone starting out in film. Plus, he'll convince you why subscribing to The Industry newsletter is an absolute must!
