RE: ▶️ How a Steemit community can generate funds
Yeah, I think you're right. It might be a cool opportunity to harness the power of a "collective" mind. I've seen a group of artists work together here in Austin, Texas to create a positive impact here on our city. As individuals, they hardly made a mark, but as a collective, they're able to receive funding that enables them to collaborate on bigger and better projects. This is ideal. I can understand the potential challenges of this, though, too. I myself was one step away from joining the collective I mentioned here, for example, and now I am still an artist, working as an individual, and facing the issue of invisibility. I mean, it's a joy to create art, and that's why I do it, but the spotlight remains on the collective. Know what I mean? Such an interesting place to record your video, btw. I haven't ever seen what a coffee plantation looks like until now. And so adventurous to shoot your video in a rainstorm!
Haha, yeah I wanted to get the video out and it was getting late and dark and the rain was coming. Luckily it didn't really start while I was filming. It was still in the distance.
Yes, the collective can achive a lot here on Steemit. More than any individual can probably ever achieve. So teaming up with others is key for success here. :)
Yeah, now that you mention it I can think of three distinct groups of people who are clearly working together. They each have a good mission, and so naturally I'm supportive of what they're doing. Quick note: I’m spotlighting your video here in a curated list, recognizing posts that shine in their optimistic realism.

I love your stuff man. Following you. You are a filmmaker? My brain starts ticking...
Yes, I am a filmmaker. Thanks for asking. My profession is videography. I've completed a couple of short films, and my claim to fame is a documentary feature film about parenting, called Wild Family. Next, I'm creating a documentary about people's experiences with #angels. Let me know if you'd like to collaborate on a video project. I'm proud of you, and glad to know you.
That sound very cool. My dad wrote a book about angels.
Oh cool, man. Is your dad's book published? I've been reading some great material in support of this project. Now I just have to be patient as the people with angel experiences prepare for their interviews.
Yeah, it is called The book of angels by Francis Melville.
How cool! I'm looking at the reviews on Amazon, and it looks like a really high-quality book. In fact, your dad has some other books that interest me too. What a great connection. Thank you.
