Who even wants to be in Sundance? Large festivals like sundace are partially why indie film is dying. You have these big "indie" companies pushing all the little guys to get in and then all the the truly indie films get pushed to the wayside.
Start your own festival in your community and ignore large for profit festivals. From my experience, it's been very rewarding.

Light from DEATH NOTE is probably the best antagonistic protagonist out there. IMO obviously.

Go to Brooklyn College for a quarter of the price and be taught by NYU professors there. That's what I did and I don't regret my decision at all.

The joker is 1.85 not 1.33

At 6K you're not going to see a major difference between 420 and 422. 4444 on the other hand...

The future I feel like is shooting 240, finishing in 120, and adding motion blur to look 23.98. This has just what I have gathered from a few talks at NAB over the past few years
