Stealing Shots | One-Shot #8
In this new One-Shot (our short-form monologue episodes complementing our larger narratives), I share a term from filmmaking that can help us find better material and inspiration for our work when we're short on time, team, budget, and energy.

Show Notes
In 2019, I helped develop, write, and direct a business docuseries called Against the Grain, which I also hosted. You can find that series at helpscout.com/atg. We told three stories of teams rethinking what success in business looks like.
It was epic. But the budget ... was not. It was a lean production, with a small budget and small team. In talking to others in documentary production, they were amazed to hear how we produced THAT series with THOSE resources. What helped was a technique known as "stealing shots."
I think this technique has power even if you don't create films. In this episode, a short story and a powerful idea to help us all elevate our work WITHOUT adding resources.
