On Inner Peace Better Health, we pressure test the glossy myth of “making it” in film and get tactical about the grind. Vermont-raised filmmaker Austin Hamel breaks down loneliness on the creative path. How he shipped his indie film The Wanted to real audiences without a studio budget. And why habits like daily journaling, visualization, and ruthless prioritization beat vanity metrics every time. If you want a no-fluff look at craft, consistency, and moving from small town beginnings to a New York City vision.
About the guest:
Austin Hamel is a writer-director and editor from Vermont. He premiered a feature-length indie project in theaters at eighteen. He is now building a portfolio under Hamil Films while targeting a move to New York City to scale his storytelling career.
Key takeaways:
-
The path is often solitary. Alignment beats approval.
-
Habits create resilience. Daily journaling, a written goals list, and self-talk keep focus under pressure.
-
Ship before you feel ready. The Wanted proved value through audience turnout, not budget size.
-
Feedback triage matters. Listen to people invested in your growth. Ignore clout-chasing put-downs.
-
Work design is a choice. Full-time hours plus filmmaking requires boundaries and trade-offs.
-
Metrics are lagging indicators. Meaningful work and consistency generate the numbers later.
-
Use setbacks as raw material. Loss, mistakes, and fatigue can power better stories.
-
Mantra for momentum. “I’m going to make it” tied to daily visualization hardwires belief into action.
