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!
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.
Just saw your video, there was a lot learned. I am sure other people have told you that you are ahead of the game. But its so true, you have infinite more knowledge than 99% people because you did it. Your "failure" was actually a TUITION. Better than any film school you could ever pay for. You have Grit. Keep moving forward. I look forward to seeing your journey. New sub all the way!!!
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 🙏🏼
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.
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.
MHANNNN, im 30 we barely opened a small place 100 sq meter last month, you did and proove this can be done by a 19 year old!! if you had a little bit of push and capital you would have stayed i'm sure. anyway i hope and wish you a HUGE comeback as soon as possible...
Don't worry I've been working my ass off the past two years, the come back is gonna be awesome, much better than a new studio. Btw I'd love to see your studio! How's everything going with it?
Ooh don't worry chapter two is gonna be awesome, I really hope I can start uploading again early next year. Yeah I know foreign productions love coming here, good crews, cheap prices and that sweet sweet tax rebate...
You accomplished something phenomenal that most people will never achieve in life. The experience has also made you shrewder, in that you know to cover your bases from greedy people such as your previous landlord. Fixed leases for a determined duration are so important to determine your cash flow or a manipulative and lazy landlord has the leverage to take advantage of you. In any case, your future success is inevitable and you're definitely young enough to recover. I wish you every luck in your future endeavors and commend you for sharing your honest journey with the world.
Private victories everywhere, can't wait to start uploading again, but I need to build out some things before that. Trust me I'm coming back with a banger, just don't know when...
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have one question. How does one aquire this much money at 19? I'm also 19 and I'm currently checking my wallet wondering how I could afford one of the items you mentioned.
Well I worked really, learned valuable and monetizable skills and also the majority of the studio was financed by my business partner, it's all in the video
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
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!
Thanks man! Nah they weren't jealous, it was more like we didn't fit the theme of the industrial area. Kinda like when you cause some trouble in a gated neighbourhood.
They didn't allow us to put anything like that outside the warehouse, and putting a diesel generator inside is not the brightest idea. (also it would not have been that much cheaper)
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.
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
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!

I won't, thanks man!!
Dang what a story. Sounds like some really exciting highs and a super gut punch ending.
It was exactly like that
You the man and an inspiration to many, thanks for your transparency.
I appreciate that!
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!
I am proud of you for stepping out there. Keep stepping out success must be seized.
Thanks man!

How's the studio going?
@@marcellittle moving gradually… looking positive… I hope we excel.
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.
Awesome story and great behind the scenes from start to finish! Much success to you and the space looks amazing!!
Thanks man!

You are brave my friend. inspiring!
Thanks man!
This video deserves 1 million views
Probably the only way to get there is if I buy some😂
Don’t let this setback stop you following your dreams. I filmed in Budapest in 2023 /24 on a big Sky production, love Budapest
Ooh don't worry chapter two is gonna be awesome, I really hope I can start uploading again early next year. Yeah I know foreign productions love coming here, good crews, cheap prices and that sweet sweet tax rebate...
Damn, had a great run! The next one will be even bigger and better!! 🔥
For sure!!

Woow, thanks man!
Damn what happened. No more uploads. Website link is down . No instagram.
Private victories everywhere, can't wait to start uploading again, but I need to build out some things before that. Trust me I'm coming back with a banger, just don't know when...
@@marcellittle that’s great to hear my man. Loved the video and was bummed when I saw you don’t upload anymore. I look forward for the new videos
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
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.
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!!

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
thank you - a lot to think about after this video
Thank you, for watching it!!
Respect. 👌
Ez a megszerzett tapasztalat pedig elévülhetetlen. 🙏
Köszi, az biztos!

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.
Where did you get your capitol/ start-up money?
Some of it was my own, but the majority came from my business partner.
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.
where did you get the money from??
i"m trying to start a production company to !!
Just made it through working on a lot of jobs. I definitely don't come from a rich family or anything like that.
@@marcellittlethank you for that piece of information I’ll definitely keep that in Mind
Love your content😍
Thanks!! A lot more is coming really soon!
@@marcellittle I‘m hyped🔥
Kurvanagy dolog, hogy ezt összehoztátok Kevinnel! Hajrá!
Köszi!
Excuse me , are you in hungary? Iv seen the ´vigyazz 400vˋ on the electrical box.
Yeah yeah, born and raised in Budapest!
You’re crushing 🔥🔥🔥
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!
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.
Good work, inspiring...
Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! One day I might do it. Wait till you hear the things I'm working on right now😬
7:42 Are you German? Cause the words the delivery guy said sounded familiar to me however I couldn’t understand anything😅
The language is pretty far from german, I'm hungarian
Teltec rulez!
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.
I hope my kids are this capable by the time they’re 19 🤣🤣
All depends on how you raise them😉
Yellow teeth at 19 is brazy
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
What a heartbreaking story.

Thanks man! Nah they weren't jealous, it was more like we didn't fit the theme of the industrial area. Kinda like when you cause some trouble in a gated neighbourhood.
You landlord is areal bad mind man. Why not buy a generator just for production ?
They didn't allow us to put anything like that outside the warehouse, and putting a diesel generator inside is not the brightest idea. (also it would not have been that much cheaper)
Wauw
daddys money
Whaaat you spoke to my dad?? Fuck, I told him not to say anything!
miiic
mic mic
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.
Bro! Stop moulding your voice like that at every end paragraph. It's annoying. Anyway grrrreat video!
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!
berta
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.
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
Nem gondoltam volna hogy nagyar vagy
Hat akkor mar ketten vagyunk, en sem gondoltam volna, hogy te is magyar vagy
