![Labor & Love (Nikon ZR)
I recently got married, and it’s had me thinking a lot about how I’d want to raise a child one day. On a recent trip to visit some friends on their farm in Wisconsin, I saw firsthand how they raised four incredible kids by instilling confidence through hard work. Inspired by that, I shot this film using the NIKON ZR and a strict set of cinematography rules, a process I’ll be teaching more about inside our documentary academy.

Transcript:
Work is good.
But for people where everything is done for the child, youre really setting the child up for struggles in their life because they wont develop a sense of agency.
If you do too much for your kids, you build your self-esteem by stealing theirs.
And when they make a mistake, dont rescue them.
Youre going to be tempted because youre going to have such love for them.
You dont want them to hurt.
You never want to tell a child theyre smart.
Go, you work hard.
Because if you tell them theyre smart and they cant learn something, their self-esteem drops.
You want kids to make mistakes, so they learn agency, [and that] Im responsible for my life.
Because character is built through struggle.
