    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

    I really love this series. I finally took a baby step and bought a video cam. An old dog here trying to learn some new tricks. Jeff’s advice has been great. Don’t be surprised if I reach out someday Jeff. Thx again for truly helpful information.

    Jeff is great! So down to earth! Didn't know he was from Toronto until this video though! Love his interviews with Film Courage as I learn a lot. Congrats on what sounds like an amazing fulfillment of dreams, something a lot of writers and filmmakers here also strive and hope for!

    I strongly believe that money is certainly most imp, but only till the point where you can afford the basic necessities in life. After that, health and fulfillment are the only things that matter. And I'm glad to see another person go that route.

    Great video from Jeff as always. Strange that he's not credited on IMDB as the writer of MY BROTHERS KEEPER (2004), not even "story by", just the producer - David Wiechorek is credited as the writer and it doesn't appear to be a pen name for Jeff judging by David's IMDB's credits.

    This man seems like he would only see himself if he looked into the Mirror of Erised from Harry Potter.
    For those not familiar with Harry Potter, he seems quite comfortable with who he is.

      @@southlondon86 I have many scripts, but one is actually good enough to show. Most of my scripts, including the one I'm working on now, are low sci-fi or low fantasy, that is to say dramas with a fantastical or sci-fi element.
