How Much Should You Charge? Freelance Day Rates & Gear Fees

Think you have what it takes to survive 30 years as a freelancer? In this episode of Call Sheet Confidential, we’re pulling back the curtain on the business of the business—and it’s not all glamour and high-end cinema glass. Michael and Dave sit down to break down the hard math of your day rate, the physical toll of a career behind the lens, and why your "passion" won't cover your hip replacement at age 55. If you’re tired of the industry "hustle" culture and want the truth about building a sustainable career that doesn't eat you alive, this is your masterclass. #CallSheetConfidential #FreelanceLife #FilmBusiness #DayRate #Cinematography #ProductionLife #FilmmakingTruths
