The first question that we often ask is, how did you start out? How did you get where you are? Very few people, I know their background previously to the podcast, even people we know fairly well. I mean, I don’t think the conversations would really work unless we were interested in what people were saying.

F rom the likes of Creative Live, The ASC, and Shane Hurlbut, to name a few, we have many resources within reach.
Thankfully, many do not share his sentiment. I remember one of my cinematographer professors actually telling our small class “I’m not really interested in teaching you guys much more for fear of losing work to you.” Though the exact words are hard to remember the intention was not. Thanks to the internet now we have loads of training, information, and tutorials just a few keystrokes away.
