Film Courage: What would you tell a 20-year-old director who is just getting started? Or they don’t have to be 20, they can be younger.

Julian Shaw, Writer/Director/Actor: I got it. Start making stuff. You have an iPhone in your pocket, it’s perfectly good. Start practicing your craft. But figure out what really turns you on and just be yourself. Maybe you do things in an unconventional way and some people might think that’s a weakness but actually that can become a strength.

I realized at film school about certain kinds of movies that I love to watch, I wasn’t very good at making.

Just because I love Paul Thomas Anderson doesn’t mean I could make a film like him. You can get really enamored with these giants of Hollywood and think Well I’ve got to make something like my hero. And I think actually the weirder things...(Watch the video for more).

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 - http://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 - http://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 http://amzn.to/2t1n2hx

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - http://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 - http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv

COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - http://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 - https://goo.gl/56LnpM
