The times they are a-changin'

I love filmmaking and the film industry. I’ve always thought filmmaking was the ultimate creative experiment. It combines every art form under one medium: storytelling, photography, design, performance, sound. But it also borrows from every kind of business. A film is a financial asset, a startup, and a product you can sell again and again. It’s creative chaos mixed with structure, with logistics, strategy, marketing, and emotion all tangled together.

That’s part of why I’ve decided to evolve this newsletter. It started as The Movie Revolution, a space focused on indie filmmaking, but it’s grown into something broader. The truth is, I love exploring different facets of creativity, content creation, reinvention, business, and the messy process of figuring things out. So, from here on, this will simply be The Tyler M. Reid Newsletter.

I’m a high-agency generalist. “What does that even mean Tyler?” That means I don’t fit neatly into one box, and I don’t wait around for someone to hand me a plan. A high-agency generalist takes initiative, learns fast, adapts easily, and connects ideas across different fields. It’s about being resourceful, curious, and capable of building things without needing permission. I love that stuff.

Because of that, I love exploring new ideas and learning from different industries, then pulling those lessons back into my own work.

I genuinely love the business and creative sides of filmmaking equally. But I also want to explore so much more out there and share what I’m learning, so I can help you explore your goals, where you want to take yourself in your career, explore your passions, and even explore how those can turn into a business.

If you come from the business world, I want to show you how creativity can open new opportunities in your work or company. And if you come from the creative side, I want to help you think more strategically about your craft.

If this isn’t for you, that’s totally fine. You don’t need another thing in your inbox that doesn’t speak to you. But I will say, at least one article a week (I’m starting to write two) will focus on the film industry, because film, to me, is the perfect intersection of creativity and business, and there’s a lot anyone can learn from that.

Thanks for being here. This next chapter’s going to be fun.

P.S. If you ever want to hear my voice (and see my face), I’ve got a YouTube channel too.
