I welcome filmmaker Alex Palumbo of Slack Tide Films to the podcast this week to talk about how he uses film to help other creatives communicate with potential clients. Alex shares his journey with film, which didn’t initially begin as a full time job for him, but he was able to successfully make the transition from corporate life to creative. We both discuss the challenges of running a creative business, and how hard it can be to strike the right balance between running a business and actually spending time making your art. Many interior designers face this same challenge, so we share how we are managing to build a better balance for ourselves.Guest Bio Alex Palumbo lives at the intersection of commercial and documentary storytelling. He is a filmmaker and photographer who searches for truth and showcases human stories through a lens of authenticity.His films have been featured at film festivals around the world. And his camera is how he connects best with others. Alex works on commercial, documentary, and narrative projects and is based in San Diego.Featured in this episodeFeatured candle: Beeswax candle from Mithras CandleFeatured brew: Daisy Wild Tea from Paru Tea BarFeatured Tarot deck: Moon BB Magick Tarot by Angela Mary MagickConnect with Alex & Slack Tide FilmsLinks:WebsiteInstagramAre you an interior designer or are you interested in Holistic Interior Design?
