We had the good fortune of connecting with Anthony Carpenter and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Anthony, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I’m an artist who works constantly on creating , and to be honest I couldn’t afford the ridiculous prices most videographers were charging for the amount of work and content I was trying to put out for the world to see, and hear. I have kids and a family so it’s a bit of a struggle trying to finance my life and my business. I have a lot of friends and business associates that are in the entertainment industry as well, and we all needed a camera man who wasn’t about just making money off of a bunch of artists who really want a service but can’t afford it . I understand that it’s a business but what good is having a business if you’re business only cares about a dollar and not a community, so I created StreetMadeTV
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have always loved cameras even as a kid. I loved being the one who took the pictures of everyone. It was another passion that made me feel great and brought me peace. People used to say you’re going to be a great photographer or film director someday, but I never thought that would happen honestly because I didn’t realize how great I was at it. I just loved filming and taking pictures. Once I started writing and recording music professionally I had to put visuals to my songs and whoo did it get expensive lol. It was hard in the beginning but I managed to get some decent music videos shot . I wasn’t satisfied I wanted more. I wanted my studio sessions filmed, live performances , almost everything I was doing I wanted documented. I worked 2 jobs but it wasn’t enough to pay for everything I needed. So that’s why I decided to become the camera man who I once needed. So I created StreetMadeTV which is a film production company based in Dallas Tx .
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Dallas has a variety of different places and things to enjoy. Nice bars , Great restaurants and live entertainment. You can even catch a Home game from Americas favorite team The Dallas Cowboys at the very amazing At&T Stadium. Texas Rangers Globe Life park right across the way. Deep Ellum located Downtown , House of Wax Museum , Majestic Theater , Fair Park , Great Dining by the lake , Plenty of family fun .
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I wanna dedicate my Shoutout to my kids and My city Dallas Tx . My kids inspire and motivate me to get up and create something every single day. My city has always been a place where you can thrive without having to be in the streets or taking penitentiary chances to make a living or just be great.
