Stuff we use:
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

I think a lot of filmmakers are naive and wanna do it all their own way, despite great information like this being freely accessible to them. It’s a matter of figuring out their goals and guessing how to achieve it, rather than doing their research and setting themselves up for their best chance. Many that I know won’t even try to level up from the amateur setting because they don’t think they are ready, don’t know how, or assume it’s a waste of time. It’s an eye opener when someone they know achieves something because they actually took initiative from advice like this.
What are your thoughts on making a living with film? Do you believe it's possible? Do you make a living solely from your movies or do you know others who are successful at it? Please comment below.
Over the past 47 years, I've been fortunate to make a full-time living by producing, directing and shooting documentaries, travel-adventure films and feature films. It can be done, but there are so many elements that must synchronize for you. Most of the money I've made (about $6million or so) however has come from productions that were not dramatic feature films. I understand that 90-95% of feature filmmakers will never recover the money spent to make their movie, much less make a profit.
@@MarlinDarrah by dramatic feature films, do you mean drama?
Again, solid and sobering advice and experience from Glen. Filmmakers should pay close attention to this.
This is the best film courage video to date!
Thank you film courage. You bring tons of great info that isn't easy to find. For you I'm going to start watching the commercials
Amazing content as usual!
Great information to know 😊
I wonder if someone can talk about the same for documentary. It has different revenue sources (e.g. education et al.) but need a lower budget to break even (not really about making a profit in most cases).
Nowadays: a lot of ESG money.
Star wars 8 is a great film? There goes all credibility
