About the Session

What does it take to turn everyday moments into cinematic stories and then turn that creative spark into a thriving business? Join filmmaker and founder Nicolas Chae as he shares his journey of transforming ordinary life into compelling content, and how he built a personal brand and production company around it.

This session will help you reframe how you see the world, and what’s possible when you capture it with purpose.

  • Train your eye to find beauty, emotion, and story in everyday moments
