#09 Will Phelps | How to Make a Career Filming Fly Fishing

Will Phelps is a Georgia native, residing in the northern parts of Montana. He moved out west, a few years back, because of his love for fly fishing and the outdoors. While getting into fly fishing, he started bringing a camera along to document his trips. He produced short films that he shared on YouTube and eventually found an opportunity to work with the photographer, Bryan Gregson. Since then, Will has sharpened his skills behind the lens and has produced some incredible videos for some of the biggest brands in the industry. In this episode, we talk about how he has been able to make a career out of producing fly fishing content and the realities of what that really looks like. Will shares some of his filming secrets and his biggest mistakes that he made early on. We go into depth about what our processes' look like when producing a film and the biggest lessons we've learned through filming fly fishing. We also have a Q&A segment, later in the episode, where we answer some of your most asked questions about Filmmaking, Editing & YouTube. This is one of my favorite talks so far and I hope you enjoy it!
