Join me as I delve into a common struggle faced by artists near the culmination of their projects—the Last 20% Syndrome. Every artist, including myself, encounters this hurdle, a phase where you're almost at the finish line, yet the remaining tasks seem tiresome and mind-numbing.

In this video, I discuss how this syndrome arises as artists approach the conclusion of their creative endeavors. It's that crucial moment when the groundwork is laid, and you're left with the meticulous and often less glamorous execution. Whether it's the final grammar edit in writing or refining the narrative in a film, this stage can be daunting and often neglected by up and coming artists.

I share a recent experience working with a documentary filmmaker grappling with a nearly complete project filled with remarkable moments but marred by elements confusing the narrative. While artists may resist this last stretch, it's a vital phase, particularly for those aiming to capture audience attention beyond mere hobbyists.

Grinding through this final 20% of the creative process is essential for aspiring artists seeking success with their audience. Understanding and embracing this phase could transform the experience and make it more enjoyable over time. While I admit I'm still learning, each project brings me closer to embracing this essential part of the artistic journey.

Join me as we explore and understand the Last 20% Syndrome, its significance in artistic endeavors, and the pursuit of completing and perfecting our creative works.
