General Film Racing vs. the CineRacing™ Challenge. Which is the best for filmmaker looking to level up their game, improve their filmmaking, and win some cash prizes at the same time? That is the questions that I want to answer for you in this video.When it comes to FAST filmmaking, there is no question that a film race is the BEST way to learn all the nuances of shooting HIGH QUALITY films for very little, when it comes to your budget. But what separates CineRacing™ from any other generic film race is the added daily training/coaching and the purpose-driven aspect of the challenge. I'll be going LIVE every day during the 7-day challenge walking you through the whole process to set you up for success.
