Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

I love this ❤️ This has not only made me excited to write, but it has shaken up and reignited my hope and passion for the art of screenwriting

[@Kai77-24]

That's actually such a great observation. When I visualize the situation I was wrestling with and almost put myself in the director's role, I began seeing interesting solutions, aka finished scenes. Love it.

[@randolphpinkle4482]

I don't trust people who say they've never regretted anything in their lives. Especially artists.

[@abstraktfilms]

Depends on the reasoning

[@danielojinkama8299]

Who cares

[@caseyboughton6641]

Sujata Day is brilliant! Looking forward to her American Pie franchise movie. Really thoughtful interview, thanks!

[@Hyplum]

Great insight as always

[@filmcourage]

Screenwriter = ? Actor = ? Filmmaker = ?

[@chasehedges6775]

Love this content

[@O1OO1O1]

Dictionary = have?

[@jcbs]

I love her approach! Thank you!

"The first draft of everything is shit." -Hemingway Get it on paper and figure it out from there.

[@michaeltanaka9011]

Sometimes you’re in a position where you can turn work down. For most of us, it a career move.

[@purplemashedpotatoes8886]

She’s inspiring

[@TheJadedFilmMaker]

she actually looks exactly like she said lol. she looks like she wouldn't do it if she didn't like the material

[@jweezy15able]

This has to he the most corporate video I've seen thus far. No regrets? I know happy-go-lucky people who can say they regret things like not going tonthe gym or ordering the wrong thing on the menu. Idk what she's hiding, but whatever it is must have her shaken to the core if she's going to be that bold.

[@filmcourage]

Hi Timothy, Thank you for watching the video. We're pleased that Sujata was willing to share her thoughts on the creative process. Everyone has their own take, including you. This video is merely thoughts on writing and we're grateful that Sujata took the time to speak with us. If you check other videos on our channel, Sujata has been open to her experience with corporate jobs (they're in the playlist) and finding work as an actor. We welcome you to watch as it may provide more background into her story and her movie Definition Please. Thanks again, FC

[@konstantinzotkin918]

Thank you for this part

[@monkeyattackedmyass5435]

I can't really embrace advice from people who's entire credits include nothing I'd ever want to see. Such is the problem with this video.

[@321backlip]

From what I've seen over the last couple years screenwriters just seem to want to update for modern audiences. 😡

[@massive611]

"screenwriter = problem solver"... and when you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

hmmm
