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

Thanks Jay. The idea of getting the script, finding the location and shooting the film, all in less than a year. Brilliant. Think do.

As an independent producer/director, you always want to be cost-effective when it comes to your films because it takes a Tom of resources to make a high quality film. I love that Jay addressed this point by saying that the director gets paid last because it's true.

he meant producer gets paid last.. the director normally gets paid before the producer. most directors are hired etc..

As a budding director and writer, I found his honesty very interesting, to the point and important points to keep in mind such as debt, SAG and money gained. Filmmaking is too expensive, so also I understand his point about using non-union and keeping up with the changing times.

As a producer I've wondered what the point is to going through all of this for the movie only to be lost in streaming land.

I believe Film Unions need to be reformed in America and the UK. The cost of films are going financially up so much.

He’s being real when he says that a lot of the financial problems that come up with making movies stems from issues with unions, more specifically SAG. They’re very difficult, and ultimately they cause making films to many times be unaffordable. When you work with them in this capacity then you realize that they’re a union specifically meant for dealing with big budget films and they’re not great for filmmakers or actors that aren’t involved in projects of that magnitude. There’s so much work and art that could be made, but we suffocate our potential by dealing with these union guidelines. Just sad.

SAG had rules & SOPs for low budget, indie type films. Student films.

Heres a free idea, feel free to donate if it works, they should produce Saints row based game movie. When the game saints row came out it had a wild hit.
