Ever wondered what it's like to go from indie filmmaking to working for Amazon Prime? Let's talk to Shea William Vanderpoort who directed the series finale of Harlem. My thanks to Shea for sitting down with me for this interview about his journey, directing, and all things filmmaking. You might not have expected this channel to turn into a long-form interview format, but it's well worth the change of pace for the amazing stuff in this chat. I hope you all enjoy it!

A followup from my earlier video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAUH5141fKo
This camera is a BIG deal to me, but not for the reasons most folks are excited about. For me its basically the endgame of cinema cameras, at least as I use them, and for the foreseeable future. On one hand, for the fee to upgrade you could make a lot of other choices about lighting gear, support/gaffer equipment, etc. But on the other hand, for me this is the last camera I will need for years, and I am HERE for it.
Keep in mind, your mileage may vary, and I may be a complete moron and wrong about everything I say here. So take with a grain of salt!
If you like these kinds of rants, feel free to subscribe, I have plenty more on the way as I work through the process of filming my first full-length feature.")
