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/3LPIZ8K
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

What did this video teach you?
So much!!
It’s advice I’ve heard before. Nobody wants to meet with you until somebody wants to meet you. You need to build up a little bit of heat or enthusiasm for your writing first. Then the agents will come knocking.
That I need to open my drapes so that agents can spy on me better
Work on my portfolio.. and don’t sweat about finding an agent.
So much actionable information! I love this!
I know someone who has won the most prestigious screenwriting contests you can win, optioned scripts, and never once got an agent or anyone else who was interested in repping them.
Interesting. How do you feel about that?
@@filmcourage Won't be wasting my time trying to get an agent.
What suggestions do you have for finding an agent?
You need to build up a portfolio of writing samples. Also build up a network of industry professionals who can make introductions or offer leads.
Well ive been following Neil Breen for a while and hes taught me one thing... the sundance film festival is full of connections.
Such based, down to earth advice - very valuable 🙏
I wish I would’ve heard this advice months ago before totally blowing the meetings I had 😅
What would you have done differently?
@@filmcourage I would have gone into the meetings with prepared questions and realistic expectations. Writing a screenplay, placing in a competition and making connections is hard enough as an amateur; nobody prepares you for what comes next 😳
Thanks for posting! And congrats on placing in the competition!
12:22 wow, yeah, I better do my research of whom I am having a meeting with to know if I'm being played or not. Very helpful.
I heard shane stanley is so hurt that he has not been asked back on the venerable film courage
?
I think I’m done trying to push my script.
I hope your opinion on this changes. This is a tough game we play but it rewards persistence. Keep going.
Maybe write another, push another, no one ever said this would be easy
So if an agent had say David Fincher as a contact can I ask him/her that maybe just maybe we can get that script in their hand as a candidate choice for the script if the agent agreed that it match the style of say director? Of course it has to go through his agent & representative first.
These Rock!
And you don’t know nobody in the film industry how can it work? Am in Africa and I know nobody in the film industry
We think the majority of people we have interviewed on this channel had little or no connections when they began.
Where in Africa?
@@BadioTheAfricano Cameroon
@@tatapongkelly6244 237 Talent Agency ( Cameroon based ) good luck.
Good advice!
Great advice! I love her youthful energy, and her modern/innovative ideas to finding an agent. The last part is golden advice too, Wallow in it and move on! Love it.
Connections, family, insiders, country club
Do marketing consultants count as agents in any capacity?
what if you just want to sell one screenplay?
Then you're not a real writer. You can't think of screenwriting as a "silver bullet".
Great advice.
Please @film courage I have a question, it is possible to have an agent or manager if you are not in the USA?
We've heard of major A-list stars who do not live in America. In terms of starting out... not sure about that.
@@filmcourage ok thanks
Hmmm. Interesting. I'm a one man show, and I have legendary acting skills 🤔. I suppose agents could be cyberstalking me at this very moment. 🫢
I’m an agent. But I’m not cyberstalking you. 😅
@@theworkathomemama7148 😂😂 Thank you. But, there could be others out there in the wild cyberstalking me, going through my trash, or just trying to find my email address, etc.
Seriously though, this interview was informative, and I'm really loving the Film Courage channel in general. It's very educational and provides great insights into how the film industry actually operates. As a content creator working on creating an animated series by myself, this information is invaluable.
