Out There (Documentary) 2020

Описание: A short documentary about putting yourself out there. A short documentary for artists .

Do you struggle putting yourself out there? How many talented artists do you know that hate putting themselves [and their art] out there? Scared of starting a new project. Scared of posting on social media. Scared of being seen as too 'me, me, me'.

I'm friends with so many of these artists, and it breaks my heart, because their self-imposed shackles make it almost impossible for their art to be discovered, seen or enjoyed.

This short documentary is my rallying cry to all shy artists. I want you to know that It is okay to be proud of your art. It is okay to actively promote your art. it is okay to be vocal, loud and shameless about your art. It is all okay.

This short documentary was filmed April 2019, during my week in San Diego - where my debut short film, '61 HUGS', received its US premiere. Had I not spent 5 months passionately promoting, tweeting, shouting about '61 HUGS', I would never have been offered the incredible opportunity to screen it in the states.

Getting yourself out there, promoting your art, promoting your film or promoting yourself... needn't be dull, it can be great fun, too. How? Change the way you look an putting yourself out there - make it different, make it inclusive, make it collaborative.

When I knew I was going to America, I immediately started looking for inventive ways I could get myself out there during my 7-night stay. I asked myself a bunch of questions. 

How do I get myself out there in a friendly, likeable way?
How do I get myself out there while making people smile? 
How do I get myself out there in a way that helps others, too?

Do you see how these questions feel much less self-serving? Looking at getting yourself out there as a means of helping others is a powerful trick because it reduced anxiety almost immediately. As humans, we naturally love helping others, sometimes more than helping ourselves.

To all artists... please be proud of yourself, your art and your talent. My hope is that you watch this short documentary and take a little step towards sharing your art more zealously. As an artist, putting yourself out there is an ongoing process, and one that actually gets easier the more you do it. It's never entirely without anxiety, I still feel nervous every day, but the more I do it, the less icky it feels. I promise.

Thank you for watching my short documentary. If you relate to artistic anxiety or struggle putting yourself out there, come say "hi" on social media:
