It's always interesting to know what other filmmakers are using to shoot their films. Turns out you can do a LOT with a LITTLE.
Joseph East is a documentary filmmaker and producer based in Denver, Colorado. I met Joseph at my documentary fundraising workshop in Atlanta last year at The Foundation Center. During my session, he pitched his documentary "I WILL DANCE". Joseph not only has produced a fantastic trailer, he's doing a great job getting the word out about his project. His team is planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign in the next month or so. In the meantime, he has graciously shared his equipment list that he used to shoot his documentary. Thank you Joseph!
