The Camera as an Instrument for Hope & Healing | An Interview with FilmingLifer PRO Amy Murgatroyd
In this episode of the FilmingLife® Podcast for Photographers & Filmmakers your host Kylie Purtell interviews our newest FilmingLifer PRO, Amy Murgatroyd.
We chat about:
Amy’s journey to filmmaking and what led her to create the films she makes
The beauty of being a beginner
The comparison trap and bringing your work back to your ‘why’
The magic that happens when passion & purpose intersect
Passion as the flame, purpose as the fuel
The camera as an instrument for hope & healing
Stripping ourselves down to become a blank slate for our clients to write their story on, receiving rather than taking

Have you ever attempted a year long filmmaking project? I haven't! So I thought it would be fun to introduce you to three women from FilmingLife® Academy who HAVE, and who continue doing them every single year. We talk about what motivates them to do this each year, their tips for getting started and staying on track, what it's meant to them and their families to have them (you'll be surprised at some of the responses!), and what they'd do differently now if they were starting all over again.
