We recently connected with Jeremiah Baumbach and have shared our conversation below.
Jeremiah, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?
I went to film school. University of Central Florida class of 1999.
I wish I would have volunteered to work on OTHER students & independent filmmaker’s projects for the networking opportunities, more often.
Technical skills get you hired. Attention to detail gets you rehired.
I feel the FREE online resources available would have been GREAT 25 years ago. I entered the industry as digital was emerging. Film was cost prohibitive & so was digital at the time (2GB Jaz drive was $200 in 1999).
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a 3 time Emmy nominated cinematographer. Those 3 projects were self-funded and produced with another partner.
I shoot a lot of corporate trade shows & interviews, being here in Orlando. I also shoot narrative films. Some are passion projects for myself, others a vanity projects for paying clients. I have shot 2 funded feature films as well.
I feel what sets me apart is my experience as a “filmmaker”. A lot of people in the industry specialize & some can’t see what corners can be cut & what corners CAN NOT be cut. I feel that my productions run very efficiently as I go into a production with a lot of pre-production in-hand.
About 6 months ago, myself & another partner opened a studio here in Orlando, where we work. www.ironpixelstudios.com
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
In 2012 I made an investment with marketing myself on www.ProductionHub.com that turned out to be the best business decision that I ever made.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
