For the independent film Sweet Potato Pie, directed by Adia Buford in St. Louis, Renegade Lenz Studios captured behind-the-scenes footage designed for more than memories—it was built for long-term content leverage.

Instead of letting BTS live and die on a hard drive, Adia flipped the footage into:

• Educational lessons for aspiring filmmakers

• “Follow My Journey” content documenting her process

• Authority-building posts that positioned her as a working filmmaker

This strategy allowed her to stay visible before, during, and after production—establishing credibility, consistency, and thought leadership within the film industry.

Result:
Behind-the-scenes content transformed into an ongoing content engine that reinforced authority, storytelling, and professional legitimacy.
