After a year long stab at running his own startup (50DMC), Gabor has decided to focus on his core strengths and "Just Do It" inspired by various online thought leaders. He knew that a documentary style filmmaking is definitely one of his major strengths and in order to "Just Do It", he has started a daily vlog on YouTube... "Just create the content and the rest will fall in place" he thought... managed to create 22 episodes in 30 days (almost daily), which made him think about other possibilities.
After these 22 vlog episodes Gabor was like "honestly, who cares about my life" and had a better idea. What if I "vlog other people's lives" and right there, "My Doco Club" was born. Obviously filming a story on someone else every day would be impossible so he thought "a new documentary every week... yeah I can do that" and vowed to produce 52 films in 2017.
About 9 weeks and 8 films in, Gabor had another idea 🙂 ... [the dude has too many of those] ... "what if I could get other filmmakers on board and create more content" awesome! This is when the "My Doco Club" name was obviously no longer a good choice, but guess what! The domain InspireFlix.com was available! WHAT?! Gabor could hardly believe his eyes and quickly made the decision to immediately rebrand his little baby, and think about nurturing it for a bigger impact...
During the rest of 2017, we have submitted most of our finished films to various film festivals in Australia and overseas. A great decision as the films have scored two Wins, two Finalist and nine Semi Finalist titles from the 22 Official Selections we've received from around the globe. Our most successful film was Lambert, taking out Best Documentary at CUFF 2017, Best Brisbane Documentary @ Watchdog Film Fest 2018 and Best Emerging Director @ Melbourne Documentary Film Festival 2017.
Like with most startups the beginning was challenging, however Gabor's vision to connect people through short films showcasing inspiring everyday people was just too important to ever give up on. After a few personally challenging months, Gabor has decided to try a new approach and look for individuals that could benefit from being featured on InspireFlix. We have hoped that these individuals would consider financially contributing towards the production of their film. And we were right. However, it took way to long to get new stories and we wanted to find a faster approach to keep our audience engaged.
After a few months of bootstrapped sales, we've decided to re-focus on creating more inspiring content to first further grow our audience. This is when we've launched the "Story To Film" competition first in Queensland AU and then in other Australian centers with plans to eventually open globally.
