PASSING THE TORCH: WHY WE BUILD OTHER LEADERS AT FRAGRANT FILM

At Fragrant Film, we don’t just build sets.
We build people.

Because the goal isn’t to be the only one in the room who knows what they’re doing — it’s to look around and see a whole team rising in their gifts, calling, and authority.

Raising up other leaders isn’t a threat. It’s a legacy move.

Here’s why we invest in the next wave — and how we make leadership part of the culture.

‍LEADERSHIP ISN’T POSITIONAL — IT’S CULTURAL

You don’t have to have “director” in your title to be a leader on set.
Sometimes leadership shows up in the way a PA sets the tone for the day. Or the way a camera op invites collaboration. Or how a producer handles pressure with peace.

At Fragrant Film, we don’t gatekeep growth.
We recognize and nurture leadership in every role.

→ Leadership is less about hierarchy and more about humility, clarity, and ownership.

WE BELIEVE IN DUPLICATION, NOT JUST DIRECTION

Telling people what to do creates dependency.
Showing them how to lead creates multiplication.

That means:

• Sharing why we make certain creative calls

• Letting newer team members shadow client meetings

• Giving ownership instead of micromanagement

• Celebrating when someone outgrows a role and steps into more

→ Our goal isn’t just to lead great shoots. It’s to leave behind great leaders.

CREATIVITY GROWS WHERE CONFIDENCE LIVES

People create more freely when they know they’re trusted.
So we build up leaders by giving them room to stretch — to try, to fail, to win, to refine.

Whether it’s assigning a first-time AD to run set, or trusting a junior editor to cut a key sequence — we back our people. And we celebrate the process.

→ Empowered leaders create fearless stories.

🕊️ WE’RE NOT BUILDING AN EMPIRE. WE’RE STEWARDING A MISSION.

The Kingdom model isn’t about one person at the top.
It’s about family. Body. Multiplication.

At Fragrant Film, we believe every creative team member has a God-given calling — and leadership is part of that calling, not reserved for a few.

→ Our wins are sweeter when they’re shared. Our legacy is stronger when it’s multiplied.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Leadership isn’t just about making calls — it’s about making space.
And at Fragrant Film, we’re committed to creating room for others to grow, rise, and lead with confidence.

Because one day, someone we trained will be the voice on set who makes someone else feel seen.
And that ripple — that culture of empowerment — is the real win.
