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 love how It’s A Wonderful Life was his inspiration, and he mentions being moved by film or the power of film to cause emotions, and then he ends up directing Click...which I both laughed and ugly cried from it. Haha, well done sir.
I made my first short film, and it was just a 5 page script that turned into 12 hours of shooting, yes, I realize how hard it is, and loved it

Not sure if / when we will follow a director around on set again. We did it a number of years ago with James Cullen Bressack - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmShxriLZKyqp6g.html
I would love to know what he meant by the politics of film. Does he mean the political themes of a film or are actual politics involved in creating a film?

He's talking about people and their agendas. The more people involved the trickier everything gets.
