"Freelance vs. Full-Time: The Creative Identity Struggle" with Seth Hunt | The Story Lab
Manage episode 484359696 series 3657476
What do you sacrifice—and what do you gain—when you choose the in-house route over freelancing? In this episode of The Story Lab, we sit down with EP&Co Director/DP Seth Hunt who’s wrestled with both sides of the creative coin.
From navigating agency expectations to carving out a personal style, we talk about:
• The tension between creative freedom and brand consistency
• What it really takes to survive (and thrive) in an in-house role
• Why being a generalist can help—or hurt—your chances in this industry
• How to claim your title before the world gives it to you
• Building a portfolio that backs up your pitch
Whether you’re freelancing, full-time, or figuring it out—this one’s for the filmmakers in the trenches.
