How we actually work with clients

This is a full lesson from The Flow where we break down how we think and communicate with leads from the first email to the booking.
 
We also created a practical PDF where we break down our full follow-up system, from the first reply to closing the booking.

If you want it, DM us on Instagram with the word FLOW and we’ll send it to you personally.

A DIFFERENT PATH FOR CREATORS

 

The creative world has changed.
Education… somehow stayed the same.

We’re still told that the “right” path looks like this:
film school for 4–5 years,
a lot of debt,
unpaid internships,
and the quiet hope that someone will eventually say yes.

What you actually need is:
  • a camera
  • a clear system
  • a way to turn your taste into value
THE FLOW

is one of the few paths where:

  • you can start from home
  • build a premium portfolio in months, not years
  • and get paid real money for creating beauty

This course is that system.

We’re not here to teach you “how to be a videographer.”
We’re here to show you how to become a modern visual storyteller — someone people trust with their most important days.

The wedding industry is a $75B market.

  

These numbers exist because the demand is real.
Wedding filmmakers get booked consistently.

WHY THIS PATH WORKS

 

Weddings are one of the fastest premium markets available to filmmakers today.

They combine emotion, movement, sound, real clients and real budgets.

 

$3,000-$6,000

TYPICAL WEDDING FILMS

$7,000-$12,000

PREMIUM, TASTE-DRIVEN FILMS

$13,000-$35,000

LUXURY & DESTINATION WEDDING FILMS

 
Even part-time, 1–2 weddings per month can already change how you live and work.

 

THE FLOW

shows you how to build that — step by step.

WE DON'T SELL DREAMS. WE SHOW REAL WORK, REAL NUMBERS. 

Recent weddings from our own path:

$10,000 — New York wedding

$10,000 — private event, 3–4 hours

$14,000 — destination wedding weekend

DESIGNED TO LIFT YOU — NOT BURN YOU OUT

 

At some point, it happens.

You buy a course.
You’re excited.
You open Lesson 1 like, “This is it.”

By Lesson 7 you’re still hopeful.
By Lesson 19 you’re skipping chapters.
By Lesson 32 you’re just scrolling titles, thinking,
“I’ll come back to this later.”

Later never comes.

Not because you’re lazy.
Not because you don’t care.

But because nobody actually needs
87 videos to understand one idea.

We’ve been there.
Watching courses at night.
Feeling productive.
Applying… almost nothing.

So when we built THE FLOW, we did something radical.

We stopped adding lessons just to look impressive.

No “bonus modules.”
No endless theory.
No pressure to keep up.

THE FLOW is built to respect your energy.

WHO THIS IS FOR

THE FLOW IS FOR YOU IF:

 

  • You want to make a six-figure income
  • You don't see yourself in a traditional 9-to-5
  • You feel ready for growth — and don't know where to start

 

Then this probably sounds familiar:

 

You want a creative life that actually pays

You care about taste, composition, and feeling

You want freedom of schedule and location

You’re tired of random tutorials and want a clear structure

You’re ready to charge more without feeling uncomfortable about it 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Join THE FLOW

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

 

  • You’re chasing fast money without caring about how your work actually feels
  • You want shortcuts instead of depth and time
  • You’re okay blending in and being “just another videographer”

 

We built this for thoughtful, sensitive, ambitious creators —

the ones who feel there’s more possible, and want a real path forward.

THE WORLD YOU STEP INTO

You’re not just learning a skill.
You’re stepping into a different world.

When you work in premium weddings,
you don’t just film and disappear.

You’re invited into:

beautiful spaces
private celebrations
rooms where trust already exists. 

 If you work with taste and care, something shifts.

People stop calling you only for weddings.

They invite you to:
private dinners
anniversaries
brand launches
investor events
retreats and intimate gatherings.

 

You become their filmmaker.

A REAL PROJECT. REAL TRUST.

A private event.
A few hours of work.
No production crew.

 

We sent the proposal for $10,000.
They signed the same day.
Payment arrived within 30 minutes.

No negotiation.
No discount.
Just trust, built over time.

This isn’t an exception.

It’s how this market works
when your taste is clear,
your presence feels calm,
and people feel safe recommending you.

WHY LEARN FROM VANILLA FILM

Vanilla Film is Lev and Nina.

We started inside the traditional film industry.
Big productions. Big crews. Los Angeles.
Long days that slowly turned into long years.

That experience taught us discipline, structure,
and deep respect for the craft.
But it also showed us something else.

There was barely any time left for life.
No space for travel.
No energy for our own ideas.
And very little freedom to choose how we actually wanted to live.

At some point, we asked ourselves a very honest question.


Is this really the only way to be a filmmaker?

 

That’s when weddings entered the picture.
Not as an industry,
but as a way of working and living.

Real people.
Real emotion.
Beautiful places.
Flexible schedules.
Creative control.
The ability to build your own brand on your own terms,
without burning out.

Over time, everything clicked.
We filmed across the U.S.,
worked in Canada, Mexico, and Europe,
met incredible people,
and found ourselves in places we never would have reached otherwise.

Most importantly, we built a creative life we actually enjoy.

THE FLOW is how we share everything we’ve learned along the way.
The mindset, the system, and the experience
that allow you to create meaningful work,
travel more,
and enjoy the life you’re building.

 HOW WE CREATED THE FLOW

We didn’t start with a name.

We knew the kind of program we wanted to create,
something grounded, intentional, and real.
A way of learning that doesn’t rush,
doesn’t overwhelm,
and grows with you over time.

But the name wasn’t there yet.

For 8 months, we were building this program in New York.
Filming, editing, refining.
And in between, stepping outside to reset.

The East River.
Wind, water, city noise.
Ferries moving back and forth.
Always in motion. Always alive.

That rhythm stayed with us.

And one day, during one of those breaks,
we looked at each other and realized:

This program isn’t about shortcuts.
It’s about movement.
Presence.
Continuity.

It’s about learning in a way that flows.

That's when the name arrived,

not from a brainstorming session,
but from the way this program was already living.

THE FLOW.

 

And THE FLOW doesn’t end with this program.
It stays with you,
in how you work, decide, and live.

 

Created in New York.
With the East River always flowing by.

By Lev & Nina.
