    Stuff we use:
    LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
    AUDIO
    Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/425k5rG
    Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
    LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv

    Wow, this was a blast from the past. It was Zen that got me into drawing comics as a kid. I eventually
    made a career out of my art and past on what I learned. Thanks buddy, have an amazing new year and a happy, long and fulfilling life. Same for anyone reading this comment.

    Faith in action. Once he was 100% committed, it manifested.

    My art professor passed on the tip: "when the muse shows up, it better catch you working." Similarly here, working towards a goal in order for these things to intersect.

    Haha, serendipity led me to meet Mr. Stern in a comic shop close to a decade ago. I am a fan of Zen Intergalactic Ninja since the early 90s, so it was amazing to meet him and have a conversation. As I am sure you know since you interviewed him, he's a kind a humble guy, a gem of a person. I am so glad he's been the subject of a couple interviews here. :)
    Also, Happy New Year Film Courage crew and community!

      Correlation does not imply causation. So yes, I do believe.
