What does it really take to build a long-lasting career in filmmaking?
In this episode of Balancing Acts, host Roy Wanguhu sits down with filmmaker Keston to unpack a journey that was earned, not given — from early short films and wearing every hat, to professional client work, creative longevity, and staying relevant in a fast-changing industry.
Keston shares how his time at Pixar University shaped his storytelling philosophy, why “story is king,” and how those lessons still guide his work today — whether he’s shooting wine films, documentaries, or narrative shorts. They dive into the realities of client relationships, saying no to the wrong projects, shifting from day rates to value-based pricing, and what it takes to keep clients for over a decade.
The conversation also explores gear and workflow, from Keston’s experience with RED cameras, thoughts on the ARRI ALEXA 35, and why lenses matter more than trends. Plus, Keston opens up about balancing family and filmmaking, including working alongside his son on set.
🎙️ In this episode, you’ll learn:
How filmmakers built careers during the 5D & social media boom
Why storytelling matters more than gear
How to retain clients long-term without burning out
When to say no — and why it saves your creativity
The truth about creative longevity in today’s industry
