S1EP4: Vision vs. Execution - The Gap All Filmmakers Face

If you’ve ever watched your own work and thought, “This isn’t what I pictured in my head,” this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down The Gap—that brutal space between your taste and your current skillset. Originally brought to life by filmmaker David Shiyang Liu, this concept still hits over a decade later. I’m sharing how it shows up in my own creative process right now, why some artists burn out too early, and how to keep going even when your work doesn’t feel like enough.

I also talk about how social media messes with your inspiration, why filmmakers need to consume less sometimes, and why great taste might be your most important asset in the age of AI.
