Some people wait for permission.

Jake Tranter is building the thing anyway.

In this episode of The Outlet, Jake talks about filmmaking, self-trust, and what it takes to follow a passion that other people might not fully understand yet.

His advice?

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Trust yourself.
Get a little delusional.
Keep going until the vision starts becoming real.

From filming on an iPhone to building Spiderking Studios right here in Douglas County… this is what local creativity looks like when someone refuses to quit.

Answer the call.
