Canon Reveals its ARRI Competitor & Spielberg's Take on Netflix [PODCAST]

In this episode of Indie Film Weekly, could Canon really compete with the prevailing cinema camera brands?

Jon Fusco, Erik Luers, and yours truly, Liz Nord discuss the MoviePass effect on indie films and a whole bunch of ways the industry is throwing shade on Netflix—including promising young upstart Steven Spielberg. Charles Haine joins us for gear news, including Canon’s entry into the Full Frame Cinema market with the C700 FF. Charles also answers an Ask No Film School question about recording ProRes.

As always, the show also brings news you can use about gear, upcoming grant and festival deadlines, this week’s indie film releases, industry wisdom, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
