[@TristanParkes-rb8gc]

@@JohnLukeCalderon i know it doesn't match the style of your channel/video, but would it be possible to have a video on how you shoot, decide the script, record audio and edit the video? please!😬

How about those beauty queens?

[@jaketrevathan]

man in just 2 of your videos I think it really just opened my mind a lot more fr in terms of life and video. It hit hard when you were like but there is 1 thing i can be the best at and that's me. Just being you man. I just recently started a small videography business called Just Be You Creatives based off that premise, so that's awesome to see.

Btw Your last episode for those still figuring it out has been popping up in my head randomly through the last week. I think that’s a good thing. Lol take care bro.

„Comparison is the thief of joy“ John Luke, what a cinematic masterpiece. Thank you for this video. And you are right, even if you feel like you are at a low point of life - there are people out there who are jealous of you. Like me when it comes to your filmmaking skills haha :‘) Keep up the great work!
