  • A quick update on what's been going on and also talking about some new gear. Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, Panasonic GH6, Insta360 One X2 and Zoom F2 (I accidentally say Rode instead of Zoom in the video).

    Your love for your craft is just astounding! It's so inspiring to see you growing and growing in the industry, while making hit after hit, but still being able to watch your UA-cam videos. As an aspiring actress, watching your movies and UA-cam videos from the beginning, getting all these insights and watching your passion is just amazing for me. It makes me feel like my dream can be real too. Especially when you spoke openly about your depression in the past and how you felt when not creating films... it really hits close to home and gives me hope. I don't know if you've seen Unbreakable before, but when Glass talks to Kevin Dunn about how he knows he wakes up every morning sad and like something is missing from his life... because he's not living the life he's meant to. That's how I always feel/felt and how I kind of interpreted you to have felt (sorry if I'm wrong). So again, watching your videos give me hope. Thank you.

As an aspiring Actor who's wanted to act her whole childhood to young adult life with intense passion, I have watched many behind the scenes videos throughout this time to get to somehow experience (if even a touch) everything that goes into making a film.
    But I come back to your videos more than I have ever come back to any behind the scenes videos because your way of directing is so relaxed, so unforced, and truly captivating. And not just that, your other videos are - without a doubt - real life gems as well because we rarely get to see the actual director, his or herself, create their own videos on UA-cam while talking us through their experiences! It is so original and exciting!!

    You consistently stay _creative_ in your work, and approach to work, which is one of the most important aspects for any artist. And I immensely appreciate the tutorials on using open-source and cheap software and tools to achieve really incredible things, as well as ways to use indie- and consumer-accessible hardware to do really cool work.

    What you are doing here is what I wish more directors would do. I got a lot of my early cinema education from behind the scenes videos on DVDs. Now that a lot of films are viewed on streaming services instead of DVDs and Blu-rays, I feel what you are doing is the new version of that. Keep it up when you can. We will always be here. Peace.
