Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
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/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
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
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z

Here is Part 2 - ua-cam.com/video/zDKe7f-WPdk/v-deo.html
Single handedly one of the most direct questions asked and answered. Everything I wanted to know was cleared up. Outstanding interview.
1
My exact same thoughts.
@@MrRussel wow this Is life changing
Wow, I had no idea . Really wants to give folks a second thought as to whether or not they want to bother with Netflix. 👍
Yeah!
As if the interviewer was us!
No means not today. That's something always to remember. Thank you.
"Get an established producer"
"No means not today"
awefull , rather Call me
@@contactsan12 is awefull a good thing?... As opposed to awful
@@xianthegaian4060 pissed off with the video 🎥 what nonsense, who gives chance and why would,
@ozayevable Proves your English is poor , where are you from ?? you don't understand the context and my reply , tell me your language will translate and put it for you
@ozayevable 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whoa...who is this interviewer? She's GOOD. She asked the questions, and the follow-up questions that I would've asked. Jeff got straight to the point with his answers too. A+ video.
I think its because she really wanted to know for herself too. Almost all the time interviewers are told to interview someone.
@@XFactorDN im not sure that was Totally the case.
For real!
Can i buy books to them??
I mean sell
This was one of the BEST interviews. No tangents, no BS or long anecdotes.
Thanks Jonathan. We are glad you found this one. We are still in the process of working on this interview but in its entirety it is packed with information. The best is yet to come.
But those things make life fun!
If every video on youtube was like this, the world would be a better place. *NO ANOYING INTRO, NO SPONSOR, NO ADS, NO 20 MINUTES OF USELESS TALKING* just straight to the point and exactly answering what the other person questioned
Have used the "clip" feature for the first time and shared on social media. Great channel with great content, and I love the honesty.
😂
This is very invaluable, not only in movie industry, but also for anyone pitching to distributors/streamers/labels and so on. Many people concentrate on the quantity of followers they have and, while this can be an important factor in success during this digital age, never forget that all you need is one person in an office somewhere to say "yes" in order to get a breakthrough!
Jeff's a baus. From the interview, he seems like he can get excited, super persistent, but without coming off pesky or annoying. He's also a truly great speaker and I'm sure that helped in his pitches as well.
"No means, not today." Absolutely brilliant. Can't tell you how much I needed to hear that.
“It takes 250 calls to get an appointment.” Absolute gold. A paradigm altering necessity to hear.
Jeff Deverett is a true professional, who didn't sugar coat the process needed to be successful. People "hate" rejection but if you really listen to his solid (life) advice...you can be successful as well. Keep at it everyone!
The level of honesty and transparency here is unfathomable.
He's so calm. I could listen to him all day.
I've watched a lot of your videos, this is the best one I've seen. He spells it out very well and quickly. The delivery of his answers are like short pitches in themselves. Great content, keep it up
We appreciate the support. We think this video with Jeff is great, but not his best one. Keep an eye out for a video in the future where he talks about pitching investors. You'll definitely want to check that one out.
I agree, people hate when you can't or won't get to the point and basically just ramble through an interview.
lol fr
Great stuff! It's nice to hear the reality of pitching from a seasoned professional. It's definitely not an easy task.
Yeah I agree, yet don't you think that now this is out there the other party will be swarmed with people who have watched this clip tried to do harder, and that they won't find ways to dodge us once and for all. (In part understandably)
Love Film Courage. It is so helpful to me as a filmmaker without funds. I just write ✍ pray, get critique and learn 🙏🏽. Got a semifinal award from an international competition 👏
Damn good interview. Direct and to the point. Brought up scenarios I didn't even imagine.
Glad this one found you Kyle, thanks for watching.
Watching from Nigeria, I'm a filmmaker and this has been super helpful.. I admire his sincerity.
Sending you our best Kelvin. Thanks for watching.
Hey I’m interested in checking out more Nigerian films, what are your recommendations of some of the best?
It depends on what kind of movies you like...genre/niche
Can we linkup boss ...am in Lagos and i wanna venture ......
Watching the interview from Nigeria.
Thank you for sharing this, shot my debut feature project some months back! i have slid back and forth from depression to mental breakdown!
Filmmaking is really tough! i can say but i’m grateful for the opportunity to be a filmmaker.
Jeff's sincerity is amazing - and the clarity in questions, as well as answers, is impeccable.
This is one of the VERY few videos that actually *answers* the Netflix questions everyone has.
Most videos that purport to discuss Netflix deals are filled with vague generalities and no specifics.
I'm glad the interviewer asked him a second time "So what materials do you bring into the meeting?" since his first response didnt give the info requested. FINALLY we have some information that's useful!!
Jeff is amazing! I'm so grateful to have been apart of Full Out.
Loved every millisecond of this
Great to hear DiMario. Thanks for watching. We have a lot more with Jeff to share.

You write
One of the most real interviews, no cut no cap.
It's ALL about timing, momentum, and reciprocity.
Whoever did the interview-- I LOVE YOU! Your questions were so on point and exactly what I needed to be answered! Subbed and will be watching all these videos now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Fantastic interview. I appreciate Jeff honesty about the industry in streaming. This will help other potential filmmakers pursue their career
"We're too busy to make an account for you" translated "We're too lazy to type 60 seconds of your info in our system"
that's a wild guess.
When he finally got them to agree on the 3rd film, he had to deliver the film in 18 languages -- 25 versions of the film. I think it had more to do with Netflix not trusting that he could do all that on his own.
They probably have to do a credit search, insurance check, set up new accounts payable etc. Not a simple process and more risk
Really appreciate the straight toward style of the interview and format of this video. Excellent quality.
"No means not today" I will remember that.
This interview was a catalyst for the gestation in the belief that if I could make a film then I could distribute it some how. Thank you for this very frank interview that was a gem for me.
The most honest and clear response ever in the history of "getting the deal". I really appreciate him not sugar-coating truth and being poignantly direct that there is no definitive method to the madness.
The competition is extreme out there. For every movie a person has there is a hundred more movies out there to pick from.
I used to investment entertainment and all I ever did was listen to project pitches. It ended up using up most of my time. And every person I use to have a meeting with was really motivated and wanting to succeed.
One of the most informative interviews I've watched on YT. Asking the right questions so that any novice can understand. Kudos to Jeff for giving solid, sincere advice.
Frankly one of the most enlightening/insightful of the videos yall have delivered..
This is gold, thank you. Down-to-earth pointers with a proper discussion about nuances and context
This is fascinating. I never knew the process before now. Thank you for posting.
What a gem...so glad I found this interview with Jeff Deverett! I found this to be invaluable information, especially for an indie woc filmmaker, trying to secure the resources, just to get my projects out of development and on screen.
Cheers Lynda. We have another great one with Jeff going up at 5pm PST tonight. Keep an eye out.
@@filmcourage 👍
This was absolutely a brilliant honest interview.
Nothing is easy when it come to Film The only easy part is sitting in your room eat popcorn and watch.
True.
A fantastic , and inspiring and very informative interview. Thank you!! @Film Courage and @Jeff Deverett
One of the best infos I ever saw from anyone. Honest and realistic.
Woooow this was the most honest interview everyone about the business of Netflix. Thank you for this eye opening content 👏🏽👏🏽👌
Thanks for watching. Best is yet to come.
Love this. Candid, to the point and great info. So easy to get off-put by 'no's', but if you take your ego out of it and make it just business it's so much easier to deal with. 'Not to today' - great!
I like this guy. Down and to the point. No ego.
Sensible and straightforward. Love it
I loved his answer about pitches. It isn't that the pitch is bad... It's just that every idea isnt a movie. Great stuff.
I love the answers. But I love the questions even more. So to the point.
I just love the honest answers !! and straight to the point .. Thank you Mr Deverett.
Finally got the answer to a question I've been wondering for about 2 years now *hand clap*
I like guys that talk reality. I recon peeps need to be aware that each film has its own road. Every road is different. That includes how to get greenlite.
"No" means, not Today..... Very inspirational...and so true in Hollywood
Man I appreciate this guy's frankness
Great interview. Learned a stack about what goes into distribution in a couple of sentences and more particularly about pitching and persistence. These are the questions we ALL want to ask those in the know like Jeff! Perfect for we little folk trying to crack the door open.
"No means not today." I usually go with "No means not yet," but I'm putting his on a post-it note right now. Thanks FC for yet another great video/interview! xo
Excellent, excellent questions and answers. Great interview!
Awesome and straight forward interview...
I love this guy, most points seem true for any kind of art business
Excellent presentation. This man has everything a creative filmmaker lacks. Ten thumbs up!
I love the pragmatic approach. Only 300 calls per appointment! Cheers Film Courage!!
This is great info and glad you included ways to reach out to him.People need all the consulting they can get.
Top notch, this. His points were like a metaphor for life. Especially the " 'No.' Means not right now."
Great job, interviewer and interviewee.
Thank you!
Thank you for this video. It's extremely important to folks like me who need insight into this part of the business. The interviewer asked great precise questions and the answers were helpful and insightful and encouraging.
Finally someone answered! Great interview, no fluff. Thank you
Thank you very much for this insightful and informative video. Yes, it was indeed helpful! I appreciate it greatly. "No means not today" is truly heartening and inspiring! Cheers to Film courage and Mr. Jeff Deverett.
No means Not Today. Brilliant and straight to the point interview. This is why I just love Film Courage.
Thanks Akash. That's what we try to do.
Perfect this is exactly what I was looking for!
Love this! How do you do it in a bar? Then the follow up, I’ve never been good in a bar. So good. Chemistry. Jeff’s obviously all about integrity. No means, “not today.” Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Literally doing this exact thing right now in that I am working with someone who's done it to attempt to get an idea in front of the right people!
Absolutely great interview. Very sobering, helpful, and with the right attitude, encouraging. Thank you.
Learned lots of new things.thanks Jeff...
This is the perfect interview.
Thank you! A great insight into the cogs and levers of pitching your product.
It all boils down to people skills and people skills are an art. You have to practice your social skills, it's a muscle you need to work out to get better
Perfection of an interview,I learned so much!
Jeff is excellent. Happy you found helpful information here!
Super interesting..! All the things you definitely don’t know about. Thank you both.
In terms of networking and as someone who has a couple friends in the movie business: Be genuinely interested in them, maybe even form a bit of a friendship and don't just approach them because you want something from them. My best friend is a director and he always feels a little used when someone just wants to have dinner with him so he can pitch him while not caring about other things. It's very difficult though - especially in Hollywood people are super sensitive, a lot of have been betrayed and it takes time for them to open up and invite you in "their club" so to speak.
The way I would approach it is budget multiple months for this kind of networking phase from first meeting to the actual movie or tv show pitch. Always had the feeling that the elevator pitch doesn't work - fairly often I step with this friend in an elevator, a random person recognizes him and immediately starts his/her rehearsed pitch which is always a little...awkward :)
Great piece. Applicable to any streaming platform, network, producer, investor, etc. you’re trying to pitch. Keep it simple. Short, with a little sizzle, not the whole steak. When all else fails, self-distribute.
This is a goal... Hard goal but not impossible. Perfect interview.
This was very insightful. Not just for the film industry but for every other business industry!
Now... Im going to watch his movies!
Learned so much in 18 minutes. Wish it were a hour!! Thanks
This interview was great. Needed this.
What an insightful interview!! I love when he says; "Was it good? We'll let you know!
Brilliant interview! Thank you so much
Very helpful. This gives me a lot more confidence in the later part, after post-production etc
Great insight..it made me feel like going through the process
Thank you so much for this, it really helps understand how things work at the business level.
This is very clear n direct, thank you!
Superb interview - I could listen for hours to this chap!
Thanks Ashley, we are still just scratching the surface on this interview. When it is all said and done we think this one is over 3 hours. Here is everything we have published so far which is about 1 hour all together - bit.ly/345tWm3
Gold dust. Thank you!
Awesome advice, Thank You!
❤️💫🙏
Great interview .
I'm in the next month or so going to make my debut as a film producer/director, after watching this interview I'm thinking O MY WORD!!
such a good interview / very direct answers.
Thank you for posting the video was extremely detailed and informative
very interesting insights in distribution. thank you!
Thanks so much for the video! I've noticed that things get easier with a small track record.
Wowww. Suh good. Thx for sharing with us! Bravo!
Amazing interview, when it comes to the intersocial convos, for the first convo I generally start with mostly about them. Pick a topic closely related to what they do or what you want, but don't come out right out the gate "here is what I do" - It takes a lot of practice knowing when to ask for the sale.
Had to subscribe because this is too good.
A lot of lessons learned here. Thanks!
