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/425k5rG
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/3WEuz0k
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

    What a powerful story. This guy spoke from the heart, and this is true wisdom about life & the relationships you built. Deeply profound. I learned a lot about Luke Perry just listening to him.

    Luke Perry.. the last movie he was in.. was Once Upon A Hollywood. A perfect closing to his life. R.I.P Luke Perry.

    Luke was my first crush. I had the pleasure of meeting him in my early 20’s while he was in the Rocky Horror show in Broadway. My friend told his mother in law that I was his biggest fan. He hugged me, spun me around and was gracious enough to take a photo with me. Such a sweet guy and a moment I’ll never forget.

    This was really sweet, I remember watching the premiere of 90210 when I was a kid. Loved whenever Luke Perry popped up in movies, like The Fifth Element, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. RIP 🙏🏻💜

    Be there for those that You treasure, listen to them, and don't force Yourself into difficult situations. All great takeaways. I loved *90210, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, THE TRIANGLE* _(Highly underrated horror film)_ , and even his cameo in *FAMILY GUY.* Luke was one of my favorite 90's - 2000's actors. He _seethed_ with talent and potential! The humility and greatness of his character will be sorely missed. I lost one of role models today... but it's like Rory said, he's with us in spirit, and always _will_ be.

    This’s the most amazing story ever. That man was sent by God and then God took him home! ….Amongst all his accomplishments, the main pin point objective for him being here was to hook them up. And there was probably more interwoven stuff going on amongst that! We’re supposed to be here 🌎 as crazy as things can get. How else can you explain this?

    So, Luke Perry invited him to his home, on Christmas, to eat chili, just so he wouldn't be alone after his divorce, and he talks about it like it's a funny story about a guy he saw on the subway. This guy seems really shallow, and Luke Perry sounds like a great person. Then he got married because of Luke Perry, but it sounds like he's so glad to have seen him that one time at a party a few years ago ... Is this how people in LA talk?
