How I Built a FILM STUDIO at the Age of 19
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Back in 2020 my friend and I decided to start a project and build a film studio. After almost a year of planning and two months of construction, we opened that studio. For me, that was a dream come true to build and own my very own film studio. I loved everything second of it, but unfortunately, it had to come to an end sooner than I would've liked to.

This is honestly a refreshing story. Most videos you see with this kind of title end up being a kid fresh out of high school lying about succeeding with a get rich quick scheme, like drop shipping or AI content farms. Good to see someone actually putting in work and building something for real.
Thanks! In the past two years I've been in a lot of communities outside of filmmaking, related to different business models. And it's crazy how many scammers and just overall fake people are out there. I feel like all the filmmaking communities are much much better than anything related to entrepreneurship and making money online.
@@marcellittleThis is something I’d like to do in my little town 🇬🇧 How viable would you say it is? I don’t know where to turn for resources regarding advice/guidance etc.
Chin up... you did more in a year than most people will dare to do in a lifetime. Good for you, what a learning experience that will only make you stronger! Keep going!
Oh yeah 100%, thanks man!
holy shit... that is insane...
I'm so sorry to hear that you were effected by the war! Anyways this proofs that you are capable of doing things like this! Don't quit and keep on chasing your dreams 🙏🏼
I won't, thanks man!!
Bro, you really killed me, there was something inside me always hoping for a better ending. I saw and felt your passion, im sorry it didn't work out, but im sure you will succeed in future. Man, that was a tough one to finish with.
Thanks man! The best part is, the ending is nowhere near, I'm only getting started!
Dang what a story. Sounds like some really exciting highs and a super gut punch ending.
It was exactly like that
Awesome story and great behind the scenes from start to finish! Much success to you and the space looks amazing!!
Thanks man!
Keep going, you’re doing a great job and I hope you find a way to rebuild your company bigger and better! 💪 thanks for sharing your story
Thanks man! Of course I didn't stop, I'm building things in the background. Hope I can put out some updates this year.
Respect. 👌
Ez a megszerzett tapasztalat pedig elévülhetetlen. 🙏
Köszi, az biztos!
Nagyon sajnálom, hogy így alakult! Örülök, hogy mi is tudtunk ott forgatni, és remélem, hogy újra bele tudtok vágni, ha lecseng ez az egész!
Én is, meglátjuk mi lesz
Wow what a story! I’m sure you learned a ton from this whole experience which is the most important thing.
Yeah the only thing I got out of this is experience
Damn, had a great run! The next one will be even bigger and better!! 🔥
For sure!!
You’re crushing 🔥🔥🔥
thank you - a lot to think about after this video
Thank you, for watching it!!
This is very insightful and much appreciated, for someone building a studio in my country Nigeria, not just the good things alone but the downsides that can happen to anyone... thanks for sharing very encouraging.
How's the studio going?
@@marcellittle moving gradually… looking positive… I hope we excel.
Love your content😍
Thanks!! A lot more is coming really soon!
@@marcellittle I‘m hyped🔥
That sucks you had to leave the studio, it looked really awesome when you had it all set up.
Yeah it was coming together really nicely, but trust one day I will have a much better one.
@@marcellittle nice! That’s the best attitude to have 😊
Next one man!
Oh yeah that's the plan!!
I'm really interested in how a 19-year-old could afford all of this. This would make a great video. I know it is taboo to discuss the financials in many places, but I know it's what we all are wondering.
Long story short I didn't spend anything on myself and invested everything back into my career. But even with this the majority of the funds were coming from my business partner, he has a much bigger company.
Good work, inspiring...
Thanks!
How did you manage your personal work while managing the studio! I’m so sorry that you had to close it but it’s a great experience and i’m sure the next one will be much smoother! Can’t wait for you to open another studio again!
Well obviously I didn't have that much time besides managing the studio so I really had to choose which projects I wanna do.
👏👏👏
Incredible video and really incredible Studio you built. You know... While I was watching the video I couldn't imagine that ending, you are an example of the negative magnitude of a war.
I'm thinking about this business model, what recommendation would you give me if you had to start from scratch? Is it a profitable business? Is it easy or difficult to get clients?
I send you a warm hug from Argentina.
DM me on insta! I can definitely answer some questions for you.
Kurvanagy dolog, hogy ezt összehoztátok Kevinnel! Hajrá!
Köszi!
Wauw
Sounds like you landlord was getting jealous of your success so he kept ramping up what he charged you. I understand you're increased power usage would cause an increase there but the other increases sounds like just greed. I'm sorry you had to shut down.
Yeah it wasn't just greed cause they always raised it for everyone. Don't worry some day I will have a much better film studio!
@@marcellittle I'm trying to figure out how to even start in video at all. Anyway, good luck and take care.
full respect guys, especially Marcel seems you did a lot of the heavy lifting 💪the world needs more inspiration on youtube instead of commercials ;) anyways... would love it if you make some inspirational videos "niklas christl" style out of all your experiences
Thanks for the kind words! One day I might do it. Wait till you hear the things I'm working on right now😬
I hope my kids are this capable by the time they’re 19 🤣🤣
All depends on how you raise them😉
Teltec rulez!
I’m assuming the studio you’re referencing in the video in regards to the shipping container is my La studio? ;)
Of course it is, the legendary Barracks LA! Btw you were a massive inspiration and motivation for this whole film studio project. I've been following you for the past 5-6 years and it's amazing to see the whole empire you built.
What a heartbreaking story.
Your landlord is/was a huge dick.
Raising rent and prices like that on a whim is insane.
Where I am we sign contracts so rent can't be increased on a month to month basis but only when the contract ends.
And we pay electricity to the energy company directly based on usage.
Your studio looked dope, as a studio owner as well this was such a sad story.
Hopefully you can get enough money in the future to buy your own land and building outright and not have anyone price gauging you out of your business. Seems like he was jealous of your business going so well!
Good luck in the future man!
where did you get the money from??
i"m trying to start a production company to !!
miiic
mic mic
Where did you get your capitol/ start-up money?
Some of it was my own, but the majority came from my business partner.
Hey man i'm trying to start my own studio, would you recommend it? any suggestions or tips?
Well that depends on a lot of things. DM me on instagram!
Yellow teeth at 19 is brazy
Excuse me , are you in hungary? Iv seen the ´vigyazz 400vˋ on the electrical box.
Yeah yeah, born and raised in Budapest!
At minute 10, I was motivated to take that bank loan for my studio. I should not have watched to 22.
Haha yeah, sometimes things just don't work out
daddys money
Whaaat you spoke to my dad?? Fuck, I told him not to say anything!
hungary laws must be insane! do you not pay your electricity by yourself ? that's some crazy raises.
Anyway, amazing project! well done!
The whole problem was that we paid our bill through our landlord and not directly to the energy company, also the war probably affected us a little more than other EU countries.
are you still doing film?
I'm building other things right now, but hoping to get back as soon as possible
What are you doing now?
Building out some other business outside of filmmaking, but I hope I can get back to it as soon as possible.
berta
mami and dadi have money?
Well I can see that you haven't fully watched the video. Unfortunately it's not, but imagine what I could do if I came from money!
Bro! Stop moulding your voice like that at every end paragraph. It's annoying. Anyway grrrreat video!
he sounds like he smokes and has a hole in his voice throat
True, I just removed the whole with AI
:(
:((
Everything amazing, a part of those guns in the back. Not nice.
Would it make you feel better if I told you that those are just prop guns?
@@marcellittle Not really, it's the message the problem.
Nem gondoltam volna hogy nagyar vagy
Hat akkor mar ketten vagyunk, en sem gondoltam volna, hogy te is magyar vagy
Did you forget to color grade your teeth? Don't lie to me.
Well it's actually the opposite. My teeth's original color was really close to the wall behind me and I accidentally selected it and shifted it into a warmer hue. I only realized it a couple weeks after the upload and I didn't want to take down the video just for this xd
