[@mattih]

Danny this series is already soooo good! I feel like we are all gonna learn an insane amount from the bts 🙌🏻

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha I’m included in learning while watching this. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me.

[@AlexPresa]

Second this!

[@richperez9015]

this is great!

[@Trentenjoel]

Third this!! Already learning a ton!

[@Agnivolok1]

4th this 🙂

[@GawxArt]

This is amazing Danny, so proud of you!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you brother!

[@SachaSmiles]

I'm currently preparing for a big short film that I'll be directing at the end of October, a huge project that I've been working on for the last 2 years with the help of the national film center here in France. It's definitely overwhelming at times and I just wanted to say that your journey is very inspiring. It also gets very lonely at times and seeing your process and behind the scenes makes me feel better.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Glad to hear that! Good luck on the project!

[@hannestell]

Being - coincidentally - in the same spot of producing a feature.. and yes, watching your BTS episode right now gives a bit of solace in a sometimes daunting process. All the best to you Sacha. And all the best to you Danny! ✊🏼🙏

[@SachaSmiles]

@@hannestell thank you so much ! We got this !✊🏼

[@BradleyTVOfficial]

How did it go?

[@nicklong7442]

Doesn’t feel like KZbin anymore. This is like some of the best quality stuff coming out today. Could totally be a TV show. So cool.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you dude!

[@Ziggz47]

The intro about your closest family and friends just being like "that's cool" hit me so hard because that's how I feel when showing people stuff that I am close to. Having the confidence to show them something great is going to drive me now because I am in that boat right now

[@ZachRamelan]

Danny, this series is everything a filmmaker needs. I've craved to learn from something like this for years. Thank you for putting in the effort to make the BEST DAMN BTS/FILM SCHOOL ON THE INTERNET.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Hahah thank you dude that means so much man

[@udonlarge]

Watching this brings me back to my final year in college when we were producing short films for our final projects - the feelings, the newness, the amount of roles, the stress, the ups n downs. It feels like I'm watching the same events unfold all over again, love this BTS series!

[@EricMaloneyFilmmaker]

So manny hidden and important aspects of pre-production you just pealed back the curtain on. This is helpful and inspiring Danny! Can’t wait to see the rest of the series!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Glad you liked it man. Thank you!

[@Inkironnrum]

Hey hi. New here. I couldn’t have found your channel at a more precise time. Watched several videos of yours, Danny, prior to this one. It’s such an amazing moment to watch someone I know nothing about but share a passion with, accomplish their filming goals. Am currently writing two screenplays and a novel with the intent to create several films specs in 2023. What impresses me is, you wrote your feature script in three weeks. Also, your rounded knowledge with filmmaking and writing. Attaining this knowledge and skill set via youtube. That is so me right now. Wishing you, your crew, actors, and everyone contributing a piece to the puzzle, your first movie, success beyond your wildest dreams.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Man would an awesome comment. Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@Inkironnrum]

@@DannyGevirtz Right on man. It’s cool to see movie making become attainable with an approach and backing such as yours. The talent, technical aspect, coming together throughout a community of KZbin folk with similar aspirations is quite the inspirational wave. Am glad I’m here, just in time to ride this rip curl soon after its inception. Will be around. Glad I found you!

[@kurtgilbertson]

As someone with a very similar personality and inner voice. The amount of times I teared up seeing how far you’ve come and how you’re embracing the incredible discomfort/nerves but powering through is so inspiring man. Can’t wait to watch the film in Portland!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you brother can’t wait to meet you out there!

[@DynamicPhil84]

You know the film is gonna be amazing when the bts footage is already looking like a feature film.

[@KDTS1]

Blown away to see how far you’ve come since high-school and college athlete, music experiment, and excelling in film. This is going to amazing

[@jakedfountain1]

Danny, it was such a pleasure to meet you and talk to you in St.Louis at the screening. The movie was worth the wait!! The story telling was amazing as well as the quality of the film. Great work and I’m so proud of you!!

[@paulkfilms]

I absolutely love that the BTS isn't portrayed as some glamorous life. Production can be tough and gritty, emotionally and physically draining. But worth it. Keep up the great work man. Looking forward to each episode, and of course the film itself. Much Love Dude

[@siansummers9710]

The fact that you could have people come on to help out even on a small budget...man, that just warms the heart... like genuinely kind people wanting to be apart of something great! Great job Danny!

[@DannyGevirtz]

I’m super grateful for it man! Thanks for watching

[@martindawson]

Watching this feels like I’m watching a documentary on Netflix. Brilliant and fascinating insight in to the birth of a project and vision of the filmmaker. Can’t wait for the rest of this series.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks Martin!

[@deejmartinez7939]

Dude seriously you bring so much value. I can care your team is onboard as much as they are because they can see your level of dedication! We're here with you!

[@llamaajose]

I wish that you, the film and everyone involved in this, conquer every horizon that appears on eyesight. With Love.

[@BlakeDavis42]

I need like 12 Pat's in my life. Seems like a beast. Was cracking up during the table read, Spanky was perfect for that role haha. Thanks for putting so much time into the BTS Danny.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Hahah pat and spank are the goats

[@bephrem]

my goodness, what a process - beautiful seeing it through, an infinite journey.

[@linus_gustafsson]

Are you joking?! This peace was only the bts? Can't imagine how good the actual movie will be! Not to put any pressure on you or anything, but I'm sure this movie will change the industry and how new young cinematographers will act in the future. A true source of inspiration!

[@bephrem]

your biggest advantage is the very fact that you're not a "traditional filmmaker". you've broken the mold and are bringing something fresh to people.

[@kingmuhu]

I dont know if we are aware, but this is a game changer. I dont watch tv anymore. Hollywood is now also moving to bedroom producers / youtube entrepreneurs. Its cool to see the creative freedom this medium gave us. Goodluck on your projects guys and girls!

[@WHOSBROKEBOIPROD]

based on how many on set did this for the passion and belief in the motion picture you know this is going to be a great film!

[@FCGColouristUK]

As someone who works in post production it always amazes me how much 'doing nothing' happens during production. People standing around, grass growing. Lol My schedule it minute by minute, packed from morning to night with projects. I'm thankful for the work that comes out of production, but I couldn't work in production. Thank you so much for making this Danny!

[@ShreyashPatnaik]

This is so amazing to watch the different aspects and emotions during the pre production stage like a film within a film. Can't wait to watch the next episode.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks man!

[@fpwflegend]

It's amazing to see the community that Danny has built through his KZbin career coming together to build this thing! Imagine starting from scratch, building your film knowledge from KZbinrs like Matti, creating a channel that ends up connecting with thousands of people from around the world, and then having your idols and audience jump on board to help you build YOUR brain child. That is truly incredible, man. I can't imagine how stressful it is to direct such a big project but I can imagine the highs someone would feel to know they have so many people believing in them. Good luck, man! Also not Sansa snoring away upside down with her teeth popping out 😭

[@DannyGevirtz]

Man this comment made me cry

[@fpwflegend]

Haha I almost got emotional writing it 😂 but it really is something to see (and be inspired by) when it's all put in perspective. We all believe in you man! @@DannyGevirtz

[@juanQuedo]

wow! this ain't a sneak peek into backstage, this is a fully dissection of the process, the full DVD with all the extra content!!. I really liked the energy and attitude of everyone, good vibes. Can't wait for the rest of this and the whole film.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you brotha!!!

[@daviddeclan]

A Movie in a Movie. This is exceptional and I actually learnt alot. God bless you Danny and all the teams involved in making this film come to life.

[@forthegloryproductions]

I couldn’t hold back the tears brother! I’m so proud of all your achievements Danny. I know how much this film means to you bro. I’ve watched your growth on this channel over the past 3 years and I can see your GRIT and determination behind this production. I’m praying for a huge breakthrough with your career bro! It’s amazing to see the support in this community.

[@josephemmons8496]

So much respect for you and the cast and crew man. As a viewer I can feel the weight of all of these pieces of the puzzle shuffling around while you just keep putting one foot in front of the other. It is weird but watching this and trying to imagine myself trying to tackle a thing like this...it makes me emotional, and like weirdly proud for you about what you guys are accomplishing. This BTS was amazing. Thanks for having the guts to do this man.

[@akmediasofficielle]

Simply wow! So inspiring the fact that you’re still down to earth Danny while achieving great stuff. Looking forward to watching Ep.2

[@adamfields2964]

Think it’s safe to say Danny is everyone’s North Star in filmmaking

[@dennisardel890]

So many people around the globe got inspired by him

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha man that’s amazing to hear because i certainly don’t feel that way hah

[@JohnSamuel_js]

Ok this is beautiful.... I am so excited and can't wait. Thanks Danny, you are the plug

[@ynkvisuals1130]

there is so much magic happening here, I'm watching all the episodes today and i'm so excited to learn a lot of new things by watching it. i know this series will help me with my upcoming project. thank you danny!

[@benediktziesche]

I think the start itself is just great, you are revolutionizing how films are produced. There should be a BTS on every film…thanks to you

[@c.h.simpson]

Wish “super like” was an option 😊 Way to go Danny and team! Thank you for providing a road map for us future filmmakers!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Haha thank you man!

[@estrellasjournal]

you’re literally paving the way for filmmakers on youtube. gives me hope that I can create my own filmmaking career on this platform.

[@ZachShurtz]

This is the best BTS I have ever watched. Thanks Danny this is helping to inspire me to make my own stuff and see how realistic filming and writing something with low budget can happen.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you so much dude

[@flochfitness]

Yessss!!!!!! Can’t wait for this series. Been watching Gian’s KZbin stuff too. Can’t wait to see how this turns out 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks so much dude! Glad you’re enjoying it

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

OMG..Whaaaaat!!! All these blessing for free?? MAN! Thank you freacking much..You are a hero!

[@giorgiomarangolo]

So proud of you. You are indeed a nice human being. Seeing you saying thanks to everyone for the help, getting excited and being nice with all the people really put a smile on my face. And the whole cast and crew all look like very genuinely nice people. Wish you all the best. Can't wait to see the movie! (and the rest of the episodes from this series too!) with love, from one of your first fans from italy.

[@benjlocks]

Man, I think I'm more excited for these BTS episodes to release than HOTD

[@WillBowers]

god this series is SO good already. legit cannot wait until the next one. I am so excited to support your film

[@JoeYatesAlaskanFilms]

25:59 - I need to go outside, it’s freezing. As an Alaskan, I had take a second to think that line through 😂

[@daimkhalid]

Just want to say that it's a privilege to have this series as a resource for every aspiring filmmaker out there. Would have loved to see more of the writing phase of things as it's something I struggle with myself, but I understand it could have revealed things about the film itself. I don't know how you juggle both KZbin videos and filmmaking, but thanks for sharing this journey with us. Appreciate your work, appreciate you as a person more.

[@JoshuaDupiton]

Man I’m so hyped for this bro, this series is 🔥🔥🔥

[@adammescan4860]

Congratulations on your first feature film! Loved the first episode of the series, I was cracking up during that table reading. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them.

[@ju_chesneau]

Congrats Danny... I have so much respect for your job and the inspiration you give to son many people. Giving access to the whole process is priceless. It shows all the difficulty and challenges of a project like yours and, at the same time, gives this mad desire to be a part of it. Hates off mate !

[@forrest.0569]

You got heart bro. That's something I can't say for everyone in the filmmaking youtube community

[@sam.oates_]

This doc series is AMAZING! Thank you so much for paving the way! huge shout out to the doc team! I can't wait to see the movie. 🔥🎬🎥❤

[@BrandonHinojosa]

Ohhhh this is gonna be good. Stoked for you Danny, thank you for following your passions, you are an inspiration!

[@danieltremble2394]

thank you so much for sharing your process Danny, you bridge the gap between youtube and Hollywood

[@drewbenton]

Lmaooo the table read is already hilarious. This movie gonna be good bro. Hella excited

[@KubPlays]

man watching this just reminds me of how much i loved getting to work on a production team during my final semester of college this last spring, its a ton of work but the memories and the people make it so worth it. excited to see more of this and the eventual final feature.

[@storytimekid]

that was so informative about how big not so big productions work, love it

[@crouchie]

Really looking forward to seeing this. Must have been such a buzz sitting around the table read hearing it for the first time! This was an inspirational watch and pushed me to finish a script for a short. Thank you

[@justkayy]

Love it! A lot of fun following along and it’s so helpful seeing these behind the scenes. Thanks man!

[@JusttJC]

Loved this man! Can tell you're a great person to have in lead from how you speak to each person and acknowledge them individually, being present rather than brushing people off from your current stresses! love it bro

[@mikemcgovern9848]

I can’t thank you enough for the opportunity of being a part of this project!! I love the whole cast and crew (the ones I had the pleasure of meeting)! You’re a huge inspiration to me, Danny! Thanks again for giving me a chance

[@alexpott1893]

This is exceptional in it's beautiful simplicity and honesty. I love the fact you're not overselling or concealing the reality of stresses and sometimes actually needing to google shit you dont know. Although it is cut down to show us the interesting parts it doesn't feel like a hype-reel which I absolutely dig. Love hearing the failures/challenges along with the wins given the task as monumental as you have undertaken...and the fact you don't have the luxury of solving every problem by throwing a bag of money at it. Cant wait for more!

[@Benjamin.Greenwood]

I love how happy you are seeing this whole thing come together. Good luck!!

[@mikaelbakkeli3562]

You are not just making a movie, but a series too. Love it! Very happy for you mate.

[@abhinavinsearchofthelost]

Woah…already loving the character ‘Spanky’. This is so good ❤️

[@DannyGevirtz]

My buddy Wes playing him is the greatest

[@ryanisaiah3308]

I appreciate seeing this Danny. Thank you for your humility and willingness to share the journey. Proud of you dude!

[@dawsonbailey95]

Now this is content! Just wow! If the BTS is this great I can only imagine how epic this movie is going to be! I smell a Netflix series TBD🤌

[@ericryan6205]

Dude, I'm loving following this journey. I'm sure you have a million other things on your mind. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us. The depth, the highs, the lows. is great. So informative for those of us who aspire to similar goals and genuinely entertaining. Appreciate you sir. Best of luck! I can tell you for certain you can count on me looking for this film when it's released. I'm really excited to see it.

[@BenjiSelby]

Danny bro!!!!! This is dope man, seeing the BTS just adds so much extra attachment to the film as we get to see the connections being built, I cant' wait to see how this grows!

[@Mingonimuga]

I got to the bathroom as the opening scene and for sure that was deejavu it's actually making me see myself as i directed a short film that also started in the bathroom, good work Danny

[@WakeUpMatt]

So unreal! Greatest bts series ever!

[@Drizzyfrank22]

Love this!!!! Absolutely insane how much work you’re putting into this film and I’m grateful you’re showing us how it’s done. Pumped for the film Danny

[@stevenyates4770]

So inspiring Danny. Thank you so much for making this series.

[@zongmuas]

Watching this whole process from the first announcement to now has been really inspirational. Love to see it. Excited for the film.

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thank you for following along brother!

[@thesustainablephotographer]

Thank you for everyone involved in this, love to see the crew come together. 😄

[@ShawnXiaoMelb]

Even by watching the bts I have learnt a lot. Can’t wait to see the final movie

[@marcofelarco]

the actors sre so great; the table read was made me delve in the story without visuals.

[@MartinVlog444]

amazing, well done so excited to see the rest of the BTS 4 part series. You are a huge inspiration to me as I am studying filmmaking and with your content it just reassures me that with passion and love for your project amazing things can be achieved. After watching some of your content yesterday I was inspired to write a five minute comedy short that I will be filming in the next month as weather gets better here in Toronto. You are on the right track and so happy for you and your team. I look forward to supporting your film when it comes out to the public and also I will be following your channel as it is an amazing tool for educational filmmaking knowledge. All the best !

[@DannyGevirtz]

Thanks so much Martin!!

[@Tapehead1]

Fantastic BTS series. Credit to your entire team. More importantly love the vulnerability and revealing what you don't know. Best of luck with your feature

[@LemonExtras]

I like this series! So weird seeing the inside of this school again, I worked on a movie there when I was a senior at Temple.

[@DArmstrongMedia]

Thanks for everything you do Danny. I've finally got the nerve or the stupidity to create my first professionally produced short. Thank you for allowing me to see the inside and bts to gather the knowledge and courage to get it done. Keep doing what you are doing !!

[@atharvgupta2521]

petition for Danny to say i love you at the end of this series too

[@DannyGevirtz]

Oh it’s coming

[@TimelapsesbyAlexandrKravtsov]

That's the brave decision to step onto your own feature film! Such a huge work to be done. Can't wait to see the next BTS episode and the Movie. Good luck to the team.

[@jehucarter]

Dude can't this bts looked like a real time movie👌

[@successfulsamuel1]

Wow, this movie Will really change a lot of life’s, thank you for making the Danny😊

[@francistiemeni]

PRICELESS INFORMATIONS

[@evanjohnson.mp4]

Seeing how important this is to you Danny makes me appreciate this project even more. Cant wait to see it.

[@davidsustaitafilms]

I love you Danny. You are a great role model for people like myself.

[@artofjesskarp]

Suuuper inspirational. You've truly unlocked a new realm! So much to learn & take in

[@MrBigdady1234]

amazing people deserve amazing things

[@AndreiRestrepo]

beyond excited for the rest of this!! 🙌🏻

[@cjolivier]

Huge inspiration. Took my story telling all because of your stories you tell. Much love from South Africa🇿🇦

[@danielgrindrod]

This is exactly what a BTS should be! loved hearing from everybody & looking forward to the next instalment.

[@lashaisrael2151]

10:49 Lol - thank you Danny for the video! Helpful guide 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@GoldLynxMedia]

I actually got a small window to see this group work. Signed up as an extra for a scene at a high school down the street from my house. Great vibe there and you can tell it was stressful but they all wore it well. Very inspiring to see up close. Cant wait to see more bts and the finished product

[@mitchsiniscalchi]

Yes dude!

[@aahritya_tv]

even the bts edit is on its entire league! so filmic

[@dir-gk]

This video always inspires me man, I resonate so much with your concerns about the fact that the acting is what really sells the film and makes or breaks it probably over everything else, it's exactly how I feel. Also, 34:57 chicken skin too brah. I hope I know what that feeling's like one day in the future to feel like holy shit your story is actually coming to life. The one that just sat there as a script only you were writing for so long.... love man ❤.

[@dnkswole]

Wow what an amazing serie ! Its pur gold to watch !pleasant and learning so much

[@Leprutz]

This is actually much better than Chris Stuckman BTS on youtube as the larger videos are only available to some of the crowdfunders. You truly are an inspiration Danny. I will get there too some day. Currently I am working on a Music Video which is the biggest thing I will have done so far. It is only my fifth music video with no budget and there is quite a lot of work on that one and with a crew. So I really hope it'll al work out.
