009 | Self-Employed Producer | PRONCH MURPHY

Prionnsias (Pronch) Murphy provides some serious, valuable information you need to hear if you’re ready to jump into the world of freelance film and television.Prionnsias was a gainfully employed producer and manager at a small production house - and lost his job suddenly several years ago - and couldn't be happier now. We discuss how losing his job and going freelance was one of the best career moves he's ever experienced.And now, he’s a freelance producer, location sound, drone operator, and excel extraordinaire.

We talk going rates and how to figure out what to charge your clients for your labour and gear, where to get funding for creative passion projects, new ever-changing drone restrictions, the fear of beginning a family when self-employed, and how Pronch’s love affair with excel spreadsheets began.

The J-Cut Podcast is a podcast hosted by me - independent filmmaker Mike Chantaj - where I sit down to talk with other creative people about their careers, passions and lives. The hope is to expand people's ideas about what kinds of creative careers are out there, be it in film, art, music and more.
