Check Out Danny Fuentes’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Danny Fuentes.

Hi Danny, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I started DeadLit Studios back in November 2019. I had been working in financials as a support rep, and I was left feeling unfulfilled with what I was doing, I always had a passion for creating, and film. I really wanted to give it a go. So, I reached out to a friend who was pursuing music and asked if I could make a video for her free of charge.

The video was released a few weeks later, and it was a hit. The following month, I quit my job and went head-on into my new career. I’ve been doing it ever since. Trying to grow, and gain the trust of my clients through strong visual storytelling, and high-quality work.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting your own business is scary. There had been plenty of times when I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing or if I was doing the right thing. With a 9-5 you typically have that security of knowing how much you’re going to make that month.

There’s a consistency that you just don’t get when freelancing. There were weeks where I didn’t make anything. You have to wear a lot of hats to run a business alone. On top of that, no one wants to be the first to work with the new guy.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a media producer. I currently specialize in music videos and social media content. I’m most known for the way I incorporate cinematic styling into the way I shoot, and edit. I’m very proud of what I can do at this point in my career as I like to consider myself pretty resourceful, and I can create a lot out of nothing.

In the sense, that it helps to think of creative solutions when there isn’t enough material, or details when I come into a project. I feel this kind of approach is the reason my visuals are set apart from the competition.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
I remember during my summer vacations when I was really young working in a video rental store with my grandmother. She’d always let us take a few videos home each night, and I really got to immerse myself into that world of filmmaking and the huge amount of stories that it allowed you to tell through film.
