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
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

No, he instead upgraded his life in a bolder way, applying all that he learned, and became an ideal teacher in the field in the "process". What a testament to perseverance this is!

there's many people working in Hollywood who don't make the final credit list of a movie (or TV). I know storyboard artists who've worked on dozens of movies where they aren't credited. Many writers do a polish or rewrite on scripts where they aren't listed in the credits. Or being paid to write a script that doesn't get made. Also you have to submit to IMDB to keep your IMDB up to date - many forget or don't bother or don't care.

I watched this movie on Netflix recently, i remember watching the trailer when i was a kid and always wanted to see it.... What a disastrous movie, like a sci fi equivalent to 'The Room' . What a collosal waste of acting talent and money. The editing, graphics , dialogues everything feels so amature .... and unintentionally funny. I can feel for this guy... relatable.

Wow. Just, wow. This was truly beautiful. I can only hope to learn who I am for all of my experiences like he has. I could really see the pain he suffered through by the way he spoke of it. Amazing story.
