Instructor Dustin Schultz

I started my journey in video production like many, a few projects here and there, volunteering at my church, and eventually beginning a trade name and a "business". Now, I did have some additional experience added to that; a couple years working in broadcast news, a couple years at other production studios, & an Emmy Award, but none of that set me up for actually running a financially successful creative business. My next step was to spend many hours and thousands of dollars on business coaches and industry consultants to teach me how to not just have the production studio I wanted, but for it to be an economical success as well. Now, 7 years into my company, I want to share the processes I use to run a successful company. Over the years we've won and continue to work with clients like ESPN, Cigna, TBS, Pfizer, and more. Not to mention a few more Emmy and Telly Awards along the way. To me, running a successful company isn't just about the finances though. It's also about creating freedom and flexibility of time. With how I've built my company I was able to take 2 months away to produce Bethel Music's first ever feature length film and my company ran and produced projects while I was gone. This is my goal for you; financial stability and freedom of time.
