Danny, this series is everything a filmmaker needs. I've craved to learn from something like this for years. Thank you for putting in the effort to make the BEST DAMN BTS/FILM SCHOOL ON THE INTERNET.
I'm currently preparing for a big short film that I'll be directing at the end of October, a huge project that I've been working on for the last 2 years with the help of the national film center here in France. It's definitely overwhelming at times and I just wanted to say that your journey is very inspiring. It also gets very lonely at times and seeing your process and behind the scenes makes me feel better.
Being - coincidentally - in the same spot of producing a feature.. and yes, watching your BTS episode right now gives a bit of solace in a sometimes daunting process. All the best to you Sacha. And all the best to you Danny! ✊🏼🙏
The intro about your closest family and friends just being like "that's cool" hit me so hard because that's how I feel when showing people stuff that I am close to. Having the confidence to show them something great is going to drive me now because I am in that boat right now
Watching this brings me back to my final year in college when we were producing short films for our final projects - the feelings, the newness, the amount of roles, the stress, the ups n downs. It feels like I'm watching the same events unfold all over again, love this BTS series!
So manny hidden and important aspects of pre-production you just pealed back the curtain on. This is helpful and inspiring Danny! Can’t wait to see the rest of the series!
As someone with a very similar personality and inner voice. The amount of times I teared up seeing how far you’ve come and how you’re embracing the incredible discomfort/nerves but powering through is so inspiring man. Can’t wait to watch the film in Portland!
I absolutely love that the BTS isn't portrayed as some glamorous life. Production can be tough and gritty, emotionally and physically draining. But worth it. Keep up the great work man. Looking forward to each episode, and of course the film itself. Much Love Dude
Dude seriously you bring so much value. I can care your team is onboard as much as they are because they can see your level of dedication! We're here with you!
The fact that you could have people come on to help out even on a small budget...man, that just warms the heart... like genuinely kind people wanting to be apart of something great! Great job Danny!
Danny, it was such a pleasure to meet you and talk to you in St.Louis at the screening. The movie was worth the wait!! The story telling was amazing as well as the quality of the film. Great work and I’m so proud of you!!
I need like 12 Pat's in my life. Seems like a beast. Was cracking up during the table read, Spanky was perfect for that role haha. Thanks for putting so much time into the BTS Danny.
there is so much magic happening here, I'm watching all the episodes today and i'm so excited to learn a lot of new things by watching it. i know this series will help me with my upcoming project. thank you danny!
This is so amazing to watch the different aspects and emotions during the pre production stage like a film within a film. Can't wait to watch the next episode.
Watching this feels like I’m watching a documentary on Netflix. Brilliant and fascinating insight in to the birth of a project and vision of the filmmaker. Can’t wait for the rest of this series.
This is the best BTS I have ever watched. Thanks Danny this is helping to inspire me to make my own stuff and see how realistic filming and writing something with low budget can happen.
wow! this ain't a sneak peek into backstage, this is a fully dissection of the process, the full DVD with all the extra content!!. I really liked the energy and attitude of everyone, good vibes. Can't wait for the rest of this and the whole film.
Hey hi. New here. I couldn’t have found your channel at a more precise time. Watched several videos of yours, Danny, prior to this one. It’s such an amazing moment to watch someone I know nothing about but share a passion with, accomplish their filming goals. Am currently writing two screenplays and a novel with the intent to create several films specs in 2023. What impresses me is, you wrote your feature script in three weeks. Also, your rounded knowledge with filmmaking and writing. Attaining this knowledge and skill set via youtube. That is so me right now. Wishing you, your crew, actors, and everyone contributing a piece to the puzzle, your first movie, success beyond your wildest dreams.
@@DannyGevirtz Right on man. It’s cool to see movie making become attainable with an approach and backing such as yours. The talent, technical aspect, coming together throughout a community of UA-cam folk with similar aspirations is quite the inspirational wave. Am glad I’m here, just in time to ride this rip curl soon after its inception. Will be around. Glad I found you!
man watching this just reminds me of how much i loved getting to work on a production team during my final semester of college this last spring, its a ton of work but the memories and the people make it so worth it. excited to see more of this and the eventual final feature.
Loved this man! Can tell you're a great person to have in lead from how you speak to each person and acknowledge them individually, being present rather than brushing people off from your current stresses! love it bro
As someone who works in post production it always amazes me how much 'doing nothing' happens during production. People standing around, grass growing. Lol My schedule it minute by minute, packed from morning to night with projects. I'm thankful for the work that comes out of production, but I couldn't work in production. Thank you so much for making this Danny!
So much respect for you and the cast and crew man. As a viewer I can feel the weight of all of these pieces of the puzzle shuffling around while you just keep putting one foot in front of the other. It is weird but watching this and trying to imagine myself trying to tackle a thing like this...it makes me emotional, and like weirdly proud for you about what you guys are accomplishing. This BTS was amazing. Thanks for having the guts to do this man.
Congrats Danny... I have so much respect for your job and the inspiration you give to son many people. Giving access to the whole process is priceless. It shows all the difficulty and challenges of a project like yours and, at the same time, gives this mad desire to be a part of it. Hates off mate !
I dont know if we are aware, but this is a game changer. I dont watch tv anymore. Hollywood is now also moving to bedroom producers / youtube entrepreneurs. Its cool to see the creative freedom this medium gave us. Goodluck on your projects guys and girls!
Just want to say that it's a privilege to have this series as a resource for every aspiring filmmaker out there. Would have loved to see more of the writing phase of things as it's something I struggle with myself, but I understand it could have revealed things about the film itself. I don't know how you juggle both UA-cam videos and filmmaking, but thanks for sharing this journey with us. Appreciate your work, appreciate you as a person more.
I couldn’t hold back the tears brother! I’m so proud of all your achievements Danny. I know how much this film means to you bro. I’ve watched your growth on this channel over the past 3 years and I can see your GRIT and determination behind this production. I’m praying for a huge breakthrough with your career bro! It’s amazing to see the support in this community.
It's amazing to see the community that Danny has built through his UA-cam career coming together to build this thing! Imagine starting from scratch, building your film knowledge from UA-camrs like Matti, creating a channel that ends up connecting with thousands of people from around the world, and then having your idols and audience jump on board to help you build YOUR brain child. That is truly incredible, man. I can't imagine how stressful it is to direct such a big project but I can imagine the highs someone would feel to know they have so many people believing in them. Good luck, man! Also not Sansa snoring away upside down with her teeth popping out 😭
Haha I almost got emotional writing it 😂 but it really is something to see (and be inspired by) when it's all put in perspective. We all believe in you man! @@DannyGevirtz
So proud of you. You are indeed a nice human being. Seeing you saying thanks to everyone for the help, getting excited and being nice with all the people really put a smile on my face. And the whole cast and crew all look like very genuinely nice people. Wish you all the best. Can't wait to see the movie! (and the rest of the episodes from this series too!) with love, from one of your first fans from italy.
Thanks for everything you do Danny. I've finally got the nerve or the stupidity to create my first professionally produced short. Thank you for allowing me to see the inside and bts to gather the knowledge and courage to get it done. Keep doing what you are doing !!
Danny bro!!!!! This is dope man, seeing the BTS just adds so much extra attachment to the film as we get to see the connections being built, I cant' wait to see how this grows!
I actually got a small window to see this group work. Signed up as an extra for a scene at a high school down the street from my house. Great vibe there and you can tell it was stressful but they all wore it well. Very inspiring to see up close. Cant wait to see more bts and the finished product
Congratulations on your first feature film! Loved the first episode of the series, I was cracking up during that table reading. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them.
This is exceptional in it's beautiful simplicity and honesty. I love the fact you're not overselling or concealing the reality of stresses and sometimes actually needing to google shit you dont know. Although it is cut down to show us the interesting parts it doesn't feel like a hype-reel which I absolutely dig. Love hearing the failures/challenges along with the wins given the task as monumental as you have undertaken...and the fact you don't have the luxury of solving every problem by throwing a bag of money at it. Cant wait for more!
Really looking forward to seeing this. Must have been such a buzz sitting around the table read hearing it for the first time! This was an inspirational watch and pushed me to finish a script for a short. Thank you
This video always inspires me man, I resonate so much with your concerns about the fact that the acting is what really sells the film and makes or breaks it probably over everything else, it's exactly how I feel. Also, 34:57 chicken skin too brah. I hope I know what that feeling's like one day in the future to feel like holy shit your story is actually coming to life. The one that just sat there as a script only you were writing for so long.... love man ❤.
Love this!!!! Absolutely insane how much work you’re putting into this film and I’m grateful you’re showing us how it’s done. Pumped for the film Danny
Are you joking?! This peace was only the bts? Can't imagine how good the actual movie will be! Not to put any pressure on you or anything, but I'm sure this movie will change the industry and how new young cinematographers will act in the future. A true source of inspiration!
That's the brave decision to step onto your own feature film! Such a huge work to be done. Can't wait to see the next BTS episode and the Movie. Good luck to the team.
Dude, I'm loving following this journey. I'm sure you have a million other things on your mind. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us. The depth, the highs, the lows. is great. So informative for those of us who aspire to similar goals and genuinely entertaining. Appreciate you sir. Best of luck! I can tell you for certain you can count on me looking for this film when it's released. I'm really excited to see it.
This is incredible Danny. I am looking forward to seeing all the BTS, and ANXIOUSLY awaiting the film's release! So fun to see this thing come together.
You can now watch "I Think I'm Sick" on itisfilm.com/watch - It is available for anyone anywhere in the world.
Danny this series is already soooo good! I feel like we are all gonna learn an insane amount from the bts 🙌🏻
Haha I’m included in learning while watching this. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.
Second this!
this is great!
Third this!! Already learning a ton!
4th this 🙂
This is amazing Danny, so proud of you!
Thank you brother!
Danny, this series is everything a filmmaker needs. I've craved to learn from something like this for years. Thank you for putting in the effort to make the BEST DAMN BTS/FILM SCHOOL ON THE INTERNET.

@@hannestell thank you so much ! We got this !✊🏼
How did it go?
The intro about your closest family and friends just being like "that's cool" hit me so hard because that's how I feel when showing people stuff that I am close to. Having the confidence to show them something great is going to drive me now because I am in that boat right now
Doesn’t feel like UA-cam anymore. This is like some of the best quality stuff coming out today. Could totally be a TV show.
So cool.
Thank you dude!
Watching this brings me back to my final year in college when we were producing short films for our final projects - the feelings, the newness, the amount of roles, the stress, the ups n downs. It feels like I'm watching the same events unfold all over again, love this BTS series!
So manny hidden and important aspects of pre-production you just pealed back the curtain on. This is helpful and inspiring Danny! Can’t wait to see the rest of the series!
Glad you liked it man. Thank you!
As someone with a very similar personality and inner voice. The amount of times I teared up seeing how far you’ve come and how you’re embracing the incredible discomfort/nerves but powering through is so inspiring man. Can’t wait to watch the film in Portland!
Thank you brother can’t wait to meet you out there!
Blown away to see how far you’ve come since high-school and college athlete, music experiment, and excelling in film. This is going to amazing
god this series is SO good already. legit cannot wait until the next one. I am so excited to support your film
Love it! A lot of fun following along and it’s so helpful seeing these behind the scenes. Thanks man!
You know the film is gonna be amazing when the bts footage is already looking like a feature film.
I absolutely love that the BTS isn't portrayed as some glamorous life. Production can be tough and gritty, emotionally and physically draining. But worth it. Keep up the great work man. Looking forward to each episode, and of course the film itself.
Much Love Dude
Dude seriously you bring so much value. I can care your team is onboard as much as they are because they can see your level of dedication! We're here with you!
The fact that you could have people come on to help out even on a small budget...man, that just warms the heart... like genuinely kind people wanting to be apart of something great! Great job Danny!
I’m super grateful for it man! Thanks for watching
Suuuper inspirational. You've truly unlocked a new realm! So much to learn & take in
Danny, it was such a pleasure to meet you and talk to you in St.Louis at the screening. The movie was worth the wait!! The story telling was amazing as well as the quality of the film. Great work and I’m so proud of you!!
my goodness, what a process - beautiful seeing it through, an infinite journey.
I need like 12 Pat's in my life. Seems like a beast.
Was cracking up during the table read, Spanky was perfect for that role haha. Thanks for putting so much time into the BTS Danny.
Hahah pat and spank are the goats
there is so much magic happening here, I'm watching all the episodes today and i'm so excited to learn a lot of new things by watching it.
i know this series will help me with my upcoming project. thank you danny!
This is so amazing to watch the different aspects and emotions during the pre production stage like a film within a film. Can't wait to watch the next episode.
Thanks man!
I wish that you, the film and everyone involved in this, conquer every horizon that appears on eyesight. With Love.
you’re literally paving the way for filmmakers on youtube. gives me hope that I can create my own filmmaking career on this platform.
Watching this feels like I’m watching a documentary on Netflix. Brilliant and fascinating insight in to the birth of a project and vision of the filmmaker. Can’t wait for the rest of this series.
Thanks Martin!
Simply wow! So inspiring the fact that you’re still down to earth Danny while achieving great stuff. Looking forward to watching Ep.2
A Movie in a Movie. This is exceptional and I actually learnt alot. God bless you Danny and all the teams involved in making this film come to life.
OMG..Whaaaaat!!! All these blessing for free?? MAN! Thank you freacking much..You are a hero!
Yessss!!!!!! Can’t wait for this series. Been watching Gian’s UA-cam stuff too. Can’t wait to see how this turns out 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks so much dude! Glad you’re enjoying it
I think the start itself is just great, you are revolutionizing how films are produced. There should be a BTS on every film…thanks to you
Chill Danny! Getting so stoked for the film and love the bts big time. You are incredible.
This is the best BTS I have ever watched. Thanks Danny this is helping to inspire me to make my own stuff and see how realistic filming and writing something with low budget can happen.

Thank you for everyone involved in this, love to see the crew come together. 😄
Woah…already loving the character ‘Spanky’. This is so good ❤️
My buddy Wes playing him is the greatest
Thanks for everything you do Danny. I've finally got the nerve or the stupidity to create my first professionally produced short. Thank you for allowing me to see the inside and bts to gather the knowledge and courage to get it done. Keep doing what you are doing !!
So sick seeing it all come together. Can't wait for next Monday, damn!
This is so inspiring and motivating to follow your goals and dreams!
your biggest advantage is the very fact that you're not a "traditional filmmaker". you've broken the mold and are bringing something fresh to people.
Now this is content! Just wow! If the BTS is this great I can only imagine how epic this movie is going to be!
I smell a Netflix series TBD🤌
This doc series is AMAZING! Thank you so much for paving the way! huge shout out to the doc team! I can't wait to see the movie. 🔥🎬🎥❤
Wish “super like” was an option 😊 Way to go Danny and team! Thank you for providing a road map for us future filmmakers!
Haha thank you man!
PRICELESS INFORMATIONS
Huge inspiration. Took my story telling all because of your stories you tell. Much love from South Africa🇿🇦
Danny bro!!!!! This is dope man, seeing the BTS just adds so much extra attachment to the film as we get to see the connections being built, I cant' wait to see how this grows!
So unreal! Greatest bts series ever!

You are not just making a movie, but a series too. Love it! Very happy for you mate.
This is exactly what a BTS should be! loved hearing from everybody & looking forward to the next instalment.
This is exceptional in it's beautiful simplicity and honesty. I love the fact you're not overselling or concealing the reality of stresses and sometimes actually needing to google shit you dont know.

Watching this whole process from the first announcement to now has been really inspirational. Love to see it. Excited for the film.

I love you Danny. You are a great role model for people like myself.
im so happy you're making this. This is a movie I personally very much need to see.
I hope you have a great rest of your day Danny!!
It’s already made! Thank you!
So stoked! Crazy how big this got!
You got heart bro. That's something I can't say for everyone in the filmmaking youtube community
This video always inspires me man, I resonate so much with your concerns about the fact that the acting is what really sells the film and makes or breaks it probably over everything else, it's exactly how I feel.
Also, 34:57 chicken skin too brah. I hope I know what that feeling's like one day in the future to feel like holy shit your story is actually coming to life. The one that just sat there as a script only you were writing for so long.... love man ❤.
The table read was hilarious! Can't wait to see all of your efforts pay off 🙌
Seeing how important this is to you Danny makes me appreciate this project even more. Cant wait to see it.
Love this!!!! Absolutely insane how much work you’re putting into this film and I’m grateful you’re showing us how it’s done. Pumped for the film Danny
I like this series! So weird seeing the inside of this school again, I worked on a movie there when I was a senior at Temple.
Are you joking?! This peace was only the bts? Can't imagine how good the actual movie will be! Not to put any pressure on you or anything, but I'm sure this movie will change the industry and how new young cinematographers will act in the future. A true source of inspiration!
This is freaking amazing Danny. I can't wait to watch everything. Thank you for all that you do!
I'm so looking forward to watch these BTS as a series!! You're doing amazing stuff Danny 🙏🏼
That's the brave decision to step onto your own feature film! Such a huge work to be done. Can't wait to see the next BTS episode and the Movie. Good luck to the team.

This is incredible Danny. I am looking forward to seeing all the BTS, and ANXIOUSLY awaiting the film's release! So fun to see this thing come together.
Love watching this man! First off its awesome to see this happening for you. But also it helps me realize that the future I want in film is possible.
amazing people deserve amazing things
