In this episode, we flip the format as listener-turned-guest Harry Matthews from Visual Vows takes over the mic. At just 22, Harry shares his inspiring and deeply personal journey—from a life-altering accident to launching a hybrid photo and video wedding brand with his best mate.

With only one wedding under his belt, Harry puts your hosts, Danny and Jason, in the hot seat—asking the exact questions every aspiring wedding filmmaker wants to know. From building a brand that resonates, choosing your first bit of kit, finding those crucial early bookings, to pricing strategy and avoiding burnout, this episode is packed with brutally honest advice, personal stories, and real answers.

This one’s for the newcomers, the dreamers, and anyone wondering how to get started (and stay sane) in this wild industry.

In this episode, Danny and Jase talk all things clarity — not in your editing, but in your packages. They open up about the chaos of moving house during wedding season and still trying to run a business, but quickly get into the real meat: why unclear packages cost you bookings and how to fix them.

From structured breakdowns to removing friction for your couples, this is a practical, no-fluff episode designed to make your brochure work harder.

You’ll hear:

• Why “clear is kind” when it comes to how you present your films
• What to include in your brochure to avoid confusion
• How Jase's new à la carte model is helping him book more add-ons
• Tips for handling common client misunderstandings
• The importance of letting couples ask questions on sales calls
• A surprising reason why you might be confusing your couples, even when it seems obvious to you

In this episode, Danny and Jase are joined by Roo from Roo Films to dig deep into the strategy behind his brand-new course, “Cheat Code.” This isn’t just another online workshop packed with fluff — it’s a no-nonsense, step-by-step system designed to help wedding filmmakers move from “vibes-based edits” to structured, story-led films that actually connect.

Roo shares the creative journey behind building the course — and why “Cheat Code” is built for people who want to feel proud of what they make again.

You’ll hear:

• 🔥 How “Cheat Code” was born — not from a marketing plan, but from real creative frustration and the need for a clearer system
• 🎯 Who the course is for — wedding filmmakers and photographers looking to explore video. This is for you
• 🧠 What you’ll actually learn — including story-building structure, preparation workflows, and mindset shifts that make editing easier
• 📊 All about THE DATA SHEET — Roo’s downloadable tool to track leads, income, and referral sources so you can see what’s working in your business, not just in your edits

You’ll also hear Roo open up about the emotional side of filmmaking, how comparison nearly shut him down, and why this course might be the first time a lot of creatives actually enjoy structure.

If you’re curious about what’s really inside Roo’s “Cheat Code” course — this is the pod for you. It’s not just about story — it’s about sustainability, clarity, and falling back in love with filmmaking.
