2. What is it like working for International clients?
-He said he has done a lot of documentary work overseas while on mission trips with his Church. He would do longform documentary work while staying in countries for extended periods of time. He enjoyed getting to travel and seeing different places around the world.
3. Do you have any advice to give a student who might be interested in the business?
- He said he had two pieces of advice. The first is that success is based on relationships. You need to have good communication skills and good people skills, and you need to get them if you don't have them already. He said he still gets business from people he made relationships with back in college. Also patience is necessary when working with people because you will always be working on group projects, where people skills are necessary. Second, he said you should never quit learning. Things in the industry change all the time and very quickly. Always continue to seek out what's new and adapt to these changes to keep up with the rest of the industry.
