Haha it’s not easy! Thanks man!

Exactly right? Very NETFLIX QUALITY DOCUMENTARY!! ❤❤

[@mattih]

finally got to sit down and watch this... man allll the feels! ups and downs. love it man. so glad you are pushing through everything 🙌🏻

[@DannyGevirtz]

Love you big dawg!

[@mtycks]

I lost my little sister to suicide three years ago and when I first heard the premise of your movie a few months back, my heart sank (not exactly sure why I felt that way, but grief is a mf-er and really knows how to punch you right in the gut every now and then). I literally paused this episode after Saritha appears on screen to write you this comment. Thank you for taking up this incredibly heavy topic for your film and treating it with the seriousness and dignity that it deserves. Great work as always-looking forward to supporting and seeing this movie.

[@goldencenturyfilms]

Such a beautiful look at the process of making your movie. Thank you for sharing all your insights as well as challenges, we are able to learn and grow by watching how you navigate and applying it to our own process. We're all becoming better filmmakers because of channels, videos, and people like this!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you so much!

[@Leprutz]

True... this might be one of the best BTS of filmmaking I have seen.

[@Junkyard_Jake]

I really appreciate your realness at the end. This BTS series could literally be anything you want it to be but instead of editing it down to show only the best moments you’ve chosen to make it real. To make it reflect the difficulty of what you’re doing and going through and I appreciate that. You got this man!

[@JpBoudreaux]

Having worked on film sets, I really love how this episodes shows the highs and lows of that environment, and it's funny how every production, no matter how big or small, always has the same issues and kinks to work out. excited for the rest!

[@piusgyagenda]

This feels like me attending Danny Gevirtz film school from the comfort of my place on a laptop, Thank you Danny and all that makes sure these are put together

[@NathanVMountain]

I mean I'm in love with all this Filmmaking stuff.... but I've literally never found anyone else who's even heard of State Champs let alone have them be their favourite band!!!! They've been my favourite since that album too since I heard Simple Existence, you've literally just made my life!!!!!! 😂💙🎸🔥

@@DannyGevirtz Bro... First week. It needs time. It is not you. Terry Gilliam very experienced director and the whole movie fell apart. Some things just aren't controllable. You are doing great man. Thanks for that inspiration. I just finished my thir music video short film and what a hassle even We were just a team of two people.

[@inakiortizvillasenor6564]

That would be true cinema right there

6:25 I too had huge struggles and depression back in college. I feel like I'd be very linked to your story and I can't wait to see your feature film!!!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks James! Excited for you to watch

[@BuddyBooth]

GREAT EPISODE DANNY!! Really wonderful tone throughout, and beautifully shot. Seriously, the team filming the BTS is killing it!! I was worried when it started with the morning routine, but MAN this has so many great moments. I really appreciate that you didnt sugarcoat it and showed when shit actually went wrong. Such a wonderfully captivating 30 minute ep

[@kurtgilbertson]

Dude, another amazing vulnerable ep. the questions you ask at the end, (is it me?) shows what a great character man you are. the ability to self assess and reflect prior to placing blame elsewhere is an extremely underrated quality that makes great leaders, well, great leaders. it's why people swarm to work with you cause they know everything is honest, even good and bad. I bet ep3 has a lot of difficult decisions to edit through and please keep a lot of the stuff in that makes you extremely uncomfortable (now as an editor), trust in the vulnerability. I think people seeing the difficulty of decisions and the heart behind them will help loads of people feeling that same thing. only possible to find direction after you first self assess your own role and take your own responsibility and then stepping into that discomfort with clarity and grace. anyways! long story short, youre a dope dude and its great seeing you develop on this platform. need a shirt that says props to pat: venting buddy extraordinaire.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Hahaha certainly need that shirt. Unfortunately I do have to keep a lot of stuff out of these that I wish I could include I just want to protect people. Thank you so much man

[@JohnLuna]

when the mental health advisor came on I was like - "oh shit, this story is gonna be powerful" .. just goes to show the effort you're putting into it all. you're the man, Danny. I'm excited!

[@focusmedia2465]

Most videos on KZbin I'll watch them whenever, doesn't matter. When you drop a video, I have to plan a time when I can focus 100% and have the largest screen possible to watch it because verything you do is a work of art and I greatly value everything you share so much. Thank you again for putting so much effort into these amazing videos. My wife and I have worked with huge productions over the past two years and I still remember walking onto my first set with over 50 people and seeing all the different departments buzzing around; we felt super nervous and out of our element, but like you, we pushed forward and weathered the storm and came out ok. It's a blessing to see this video and see that you experienced something similar with everyone coming to you for answers and things not working but finding a way to make them work and adapt. Makes me feel even more at ease to know this path we share has some familiarity. Looking forward to the next drop and of course the film. Hoping to buy a ticket to see it in Philly if we aren't on a production at the time. Cheers bud! #legendanny

[@TwoOneSe7en]

I'm so invested in this at this point. I can't wait for these BTS moments, and for the film to hit. I think a lot of us are living vicariously through you and your endeavors.

It’s very rare for me to feel this excited, happy and proud of someone else’s journey or accomplishments. Proud is a strange word but I feel so proud of everything he’s accomplishing. I truly think that this film is going to exceed way beyond expectations. I just wish I could see it in theater

[@drewbenton]

There are many days where I wake up in the morning, get in the shower , look down and think to myself...."Is anybody else's shower curtain this moldy?".. deep down in my heart I knew I couldn't be the only one .. thank you Danny.. thank you

[@DannyGevirtz]

I’m a man of the people!

[@Sam-em1ic]

I’ve been watching a lot of KZbin guys with one eye open since there’s so much shilling going on nowadays, pressuring young broke filmmakers to spend on a bunch of stuff they don’t need thanks to companies etc. but I have to say you’re a breath of fresh air in so many ways. You’re keeping it real, doing amazing stuff most people wouldn’t have the balls or the moxie to do, and to top it off addressing big things that need to be talked about. Just wanna say you’re an inspiration and keep doing you bro I’m gonna be watching and supporting the whole way 🙏💪 btw just started planning my first feature on Milanote and it’s actually an awesome tool for throwing everything in one place!

[@sophiacarlton7361]

I truly have been amazed that you’re able to create such a beautiful and real BTS while actually doing the movie. Truly insane! I’m excited to keep watching and even more stoked to see the final film!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks so much Sophia!

[@davido4705]

Man... I appreciate how real this is. More than anything I've seen on your channel, I think I connected with the struggles shown from the production the most and it hit home like no other. Thank you for showing the good and bad, the pretty and the ugly - it's refreshing and inspiring. I cannot wait to see the finished feature...frick, I can't wait for the next BTS episode!

[@SuperEchinacea]

Oh my Your story about the origin of the story and your childhood/teenage years Hitting right on my heart, I can really relate to it Such an important movie

[@DannyJScherer]

This is so inspiring. Thank you so much for this inside look and being so honest. I also love that you’re taking so much care in accurately and responsibly representing the subject of mental health that so many people struggle with. You’re making a difference Danny. Can’t wait to see the film!

[@GriffinConway]

Love watching this Danny! So cool to see the whole process. Also...everyone needs a Pat. Such a good dude!

[@justdoeverything8883]

The key to being a great filmmaker, is kissing your dog goodbye before shoots! I knew it!

I’m just so grateful for you, Danny. You’re changing lives in ways I don’t think you’ll ever quite know. We love you, man.

[@jamesablanco]

on my first short that I shot 2 years ago, I also got sick the night before I didn't eat the night before and the day 1 at all, once I finished my short in 2-3 days I had a big sigh of relief. I can't imagine a feature film in 20 days but man what a rush it is filming on set! I love it, and congrats Danny, enjoy your channel and hope continued success to you sir, cheers.

[@RockWILK]

My mother used to say, "It's all beshert. It's already written. Just work hard and enjoy the moment. Everything always works out for the best." (Beshert is a yiddish word, often used as "meant to be" or "fated".) These videos are so good, and I think everyone who follows Danny knows that whatever has been completed after the final edit is done, will be perfect. Exactly what it's supposed to be. Magnificent work. Great art. And that's beautiful. Thanks for sharing the best part. The process. 💘🎬📽️

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you man! Beautiful words

[@dnkswole]

This episode 2 was so interesting. To see that even a talented person like you can stress, hesitate, and be out of his comfort zone. This serie is freaking amazing, so real. Just fantastic.

[@alexdorisca]

I always look forward to getting notifications from your channel, Danny. We all appreciate you giving us another look into your film and I cannot wait to see this on the big screen. Praying for the best for you and your crew & that the process is just as rewarding as the final cut. You're an inspiration, man.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you dude!!

[@irvingsgarp]

Dude, you don't even know how moved I was just learning about the story. I feel like I have a lot in common with you in many ways and that this story is going to be just great and universal to many more people. It's amazing to see you struggle with the project and to realize we all are fragile human beings no matter the talent we have or great people that surround us. It's easy with youtube to make us feel like you are living the dream and that everything is perfect. It never is. I feel like you make this film for all of us who dream of making personal movies about real life struggles. This series is absolute blast for me. I love how open you are about the process. It's just priceless. I CANNOT WAIT to see it finished and I have no doubt it is going to make impact not only for your career but for the audience as well.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you so much brother

Wow, part 2 was awesome. This is by far the most comprehensive and educational BTS I believe that is on youtube. So inspirational.. thank you once again for sharing your project and you should be so proud of yourself and your team..

[@jaevisuals]

Hey Danny... I am a filmmaker from Zambia. I've worked as a PA on big sets and directed a few small documentaries here there. Planning on going in for an indie feature as soon as I can. What I found interesting while watching this is how film sets no matter the place or people seem to all have similar challenges. This is so relatable. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Much love to you...🙏🏾

[@atharvgupta2521]

I always think of the number of films I watch as the number of lives I've lived. Feels great to live a life where I'm watching a film being made.

[@ZachShurtz]

Wow. Just when I thought the first episode was just amazing, production and filming, the second episode continues to surprise me with how professional, yet close it feels. It's like KZbin and documentary filmmaking made a baby and it just is so good Danny! Can't imagine how much work is going into the film as of right now AND making this series on top of it all. Definition of passion. Well done here for every second.

[@youngli7903]

Totally relatable after making my first feature last summer. I had many similar feelings. But when I look back, these toughest times taught me the most.

[@DannyGevirtz]

[@davidj7828]

Something really worth highlighting - the amount of locations for this limited budget/schedule is INCREDIBLY ambitious. The only other film I can recall off hand, in the 300K range with this many locations, is the original 1978 Halloween. Most viewers do not understand how much time is lost with company moves from one location to the next - which is why most first time filmmakers are encouraged to write scripts or tackle scripts with stories focused on single locations. I have a ton of respect for this production to tackle something of this scale on this budget tier - the dailies look incredible!

[@davidj7828]

ps - would love to know more about the amount of takes per scene you were averaging? any one and done's?

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha it was quite ambitious! But it’s possible!

[@Sam-uw7pw]

Lovely series brother. Thank you for sharing. I'm excited to watch the film! I believe that a film with the subject matter such as this one is also an opportunity to shine light on the opioid crisis taking place in our world. We now know that many of the drugs prescribed to patients with depression and anxiety contain harmful synthetic compounds which merely numb the symptoms in the short term, but in the long term do nothing to target the root cause. In fact, they make matters worse and can actually be a contributing factor to having suicidal thoughts. This was the case with my father who was dealing with severe anxiety and depression for many years, and the drugs only made things worse. It seems that the drug companies are motivated solely by profit. Fortunately, he is doing a lot better now, loving life and is drug free. Life is a gift and no matter how hard it may seem, everything can be worked through. Glad you are feeling healed and ready to tell a powerful story brother, keep it up. You got this! 💪

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you so much brotha ❤️

[@joshjayfilms]

Seeing you struggle is so heart breaking, especially as a fellow filmmaker. That feeling of losing a project, feeling like your persona is diminished with every thing that goes wrong is devastating.
