We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kaleb Mitchell. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kaleb below.
Hi Kaleb, thanks for joining us today. Are you able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen?
I have been earning a full time living doing creative work. It began during the pandemic. Prior to covid I was working three jobs. After I lost all three I began brainstorming on what to do next until I could work again. I always wanted to make films, so I decided to find a way to bring income. Thats when we started Mitchell Media Team. From day one it was terrifying. Trying to create a brand, trying to figure out how to be of service to to others who need video, and essentially figuring out what kinds of video work we would be open to. If I were to go back and do it now. I would definitely brand ourselves sooner.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I began my acting journey my senior year of high school. The first play I did in front of a live audience was little shop of horrors. In the spring I decided to go to college for theatre. I went to the University of Mississippi where I received my BFA with emphasis in acting. During the my time there my roommate was in the filmmaking program and whenever we were home we would exchange what we learned that day. That led me to start filmmaking. During the pandemic We started our production company. Since then we have branded to brayvhouse. We are a full production company that focuses primarily on narrative story telling. We are also focused on corporate videos and music videos. We strive to bring forth your idea with a unique visual style.
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I wish I knew business structure when we first started. How to get a business bank account and how to apply for business credit. Understanding all of these things puts you in a better position to grow your business.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on NFTs. (Note: this is for education/entertainment purposes only, readers should not construe this as advice)
I actually have my own NFT collection on LoopExchange under Alt-Fro. I found a community that helped me understand the network and how to distribute my art. I believe that NFT’s give creators the ultimate control over their craft across the internet. I actually use my NFTs to fund my passion projects. Eventually I plan to turn my films in to NFTs themselves.
