Make room for the work you want.
A portfolio can point toward the work you want to make next, as clearly as it looks back.

Look at the work you show most often. Does it tell people what you want to make next, or only what you have already been asked to make? Choose a few pieces that carry the direction you hope to explore. Context matters more than volume.
If that work is not in your portfolio yet, create a small version of it. A short scene, a visual study, a sound experiment, or a few pages of a script can show intent before a large project arrives.
Tell collaborators what you are curious about. Being specific gives them something to remember and a reason to reach out when the right idea appears.
