Moment - A (much) smaller, more hipper version of B&H, Moment has been a unique store front/creator space for the past few years. They sell everything from cameras to accessories. The Seattle-based company also has some of their own products like filters and smartphone lenses. You won't get the the selection like you do with B&H, but the prices are just as competitive, and you get a selection of Moment-crafted goods.

FilmConvert - Film emulation was blown up in the past few years. These days, it seems everyone has a film emulation LUT for sale, but FilmConvert was the first company to offer a dedicated tool. Now they also offer CineMatch, which can match footage between two camera brands at the press of a button. Well, maybe not one button, but it's still easier than doing it by eye.

Final Draft - If you're a filmmaker who lives behind a desk instead of a camera, Final Draft is probably already on your computer. But if you're an up-and-coming writer, this writing program is an industry-standard that you need to understand before you type FADE IN.

Highland 2 - This is for writers who want a minimalist screenwriting program. It's customizable, has a clean UI, and allows you to write without worrying about formatting. Highland also supports the Final Draft file format, so you can save, open, and work on .fdx files without issues. Best of all, it's free, so you get to save some money for that other present you've been meaning to buy.

Hulu Black Friday Deal - However, if you're all about watching movies instead of making them, Hulu has a killer deal for Black Friday. If you jump on it before Monday, you get a year of Hulu for $1.99 a month.

Peacock TV - For Black Friday, you get Peacock for only $1 a month for the year. Peacock is NBCUniversal's streaming platform and has some solid shows. It's like the Universal Studios to Disney's Disneyland.
