The Film Business Journey of Jarred McGriff
Throughout the world many people make it a daily habit to catch up on their favorite television shows, films, or even watch the news. Each viewer gets to see the end product, but they never get to see all the time and work that goes on behind the scenes in order to make the show come alive.
Jarred McGriff is currently a student at Full Sail University in Florida and is studying in film. This summer he will be graduating with his Bachelor's degree in Science.
During his high school years in Franklin High School, he started to take a major interest in film and he worked on promotional videos for his school. In addition to educational videos, he began his own film directing business called JDM Filmz.
His company is continuing to expand and he even makes collaborations with other film directing businesses. On top of all that, McGriff also has skills in the area of photography.
While interviewing McGriff he expressed his passion and journey into the film industry. He also explained how he trains employees in his business, tips on how to make a succesful film, and advice to anyone interested in film directing.
“ My company is JDM Filmz. I started it back in 2008 while I was still in high school,” said McGriff.
“ When I was in middle school I began developing a passion for photography, [.] I started taking photos as a hobby and really began to develop an eye,” said McGriff.
“During high school I began taking a class called aspects of video, taught by Michael Pinnix, which gave me the tools to a step beyond photography and enter the world of video,” said McGriff.
McGriff also explained the difficulties with starting your own business. He mentioned what some of the difficulties are and what it does to your business in the long run.
“Having your own business presents bunch of challenges. It really causes you to step outside of your comfort zone. Financials can cause a lot of stress, no one likes to struggle but it does encourage growth, and I've really enjoyed growing my business,” said McGriff.
McGriff explained the main characteristic that makes a great film. McGriff stresses that the story is the major piece that will pull everything together.
“A lot of people, especially early film makers, focus on the equipment. Though in higher end production that can be a big part, but what it really comes down to is the story,” said McGriff.
“With a good story you can make a successful film with an iphone, it all comes down to your imagination, and making the best of your resources,” said McGriff.
McGriff described the process of hiring people to work for his company. He went into detail about what skills he teaches his workers when it comes to directing.
“When training new interns or employees I tend to focus on the basics, [.] Composing a good image, checking focus, and proper lighting. Once we have those basics down then we can mix it up a bit,” said McGriff.
While having his own business, McGriff has done many collaborations with other film directing companies. Two of these companies are Trinity Media LLC and Reach Records.
“ I love collaborating with other businesses and filmmakers, its an important part of the craft. Interacting with others is an important part of the creative process,” said McGriff.
McGriff is definitely well rounded when it comes to working in the film and photography industry. In order to keep him moving, as well as other people that are interested in either directing, being a photograher, and starting business for themselves, McGriff passes on a message he learned a few years ago.
“The biggest piece of advice I can give to someone who wants to start filming is the same that was given to me...GO OUT AND DO IT!!! Failure is part of growth... so go out there and fail a couple of times, because each one gets you a step closer to success,”-McGriff.
