- Brad Rushing began working with Roger Corman's Concorde/New Horizons film studio which afforded him some of his first feature film opportunities as Director of Photography where he learned valuable skills.
After a number of years concentrating on indie feature films Brad began to shoot high end music videos photographing award-winning, iconic clips for artists like Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Nelly and Eminem. Brad's ground-breaking work on Moby's "We Are All Made Of Stars" won an MTV Video Music Award "Moonman" for Best Cinematography in a Video, and many of the other music videos he shot have won awards such as VMAs, MVPAs and Grammys for Best Video. Brad also won a Canadian Society of Cinematographers Award for Best Cinematography in a Video for the Alsou video "Always On My Mind."
Brad's most recent work is the feature film "A California Christmas" which filmed in Petaluma, CA in July 2020, one of the first film productions to start under stringent COVID-19 safety protocols. The film debuted on a major streaming platform for the 2020 holiday season and was number one on Netflix for one week straight.

Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2u66V1J
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

Every single one of these interview snippets with Brad Rushing feels like exactly what I need to be hearing in this moment. Thank you for such a thoughtful conversation.
You took the words right out of my mouth. All of his takes have felt like something amazingly relatable to all creative and introverted people. Beautiful words from an empathetic mind.
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
Britt, I scrolled down to see if someone had already said that. I totally agree. I send you lots of luck the power!
Nothing happens by chance, we are where we have to be and because of this we perceive what we have/need to in the present moment :3
Same here
I love his spiritual essences blended with his pragmatism. Inspiring!
Yep that’s also what I noticed very balanced and wholesome!
I feel like he is so charismatic. So glad I clicked.
Alright I'm ready for Brad to be my mentor. I love his zen attitude.
Do you believe in possibilities that do not exist?
Absolutely!!
Recently had this in my signature line at work:
"Can't believe? Then decide you *want* to believe."
Also...
"The most courageous thing we can do is to imagine the unimaginable and believe in the impossible."
Everyday 💯 it’s gotta start somewhere
Absolutely
There's no such thing as possibilities that don't exist, only possibilities that one have not bring the possibility(ties) to alignment to his own reality yet!
I watch a lot of videos, and this is spectacular. Where has this guy been hiding?
I'm actually very shy. Truth. I am glad you liked it.
@@BradRushing Very insightful responses in your interviews. I took a lot away from them.
Thank you CZcams, Film courage and Brad Rush . It's a beautiful day already just by watching this . Artists and everyone reading this comment may you find that drive and mindset that will lead you to fulfil your purpose, and get the Success that you need in your life, family, Channel, ministry and business ❤️Amen
To see the way Brad delivers these wisdoms from a natural source of cool and calm authenticity is like a comforting inspiration hug in my amygdala right now.
I NEEDED this so badly today.
He concisely elaborated what most coaching gurus are scaling into multi- million dollar businesses these days.
Wow.
Tears of joy and relief.
Low key wish I had a mentor like this brilliant creative gentleman above.
Cheers.
If you are a creator, "Believing in possibilities that do not exist" should be at the cornerstone of whatever is being built... Another bomb interview with Brad! For me, it is imperative to give myself permission to release the need to feel unworthy. I have allowed my value to be defined by external forces that do not hold the key to the doors of my opportunities. It is really the principle that in the past, I have put the key in the hands of those that are not worthy of believing in what I believe... At least not yet. Namaste to FC and Brad Rushing. Light is bursting through this video!
Thanks Tye, great to see you enjoying these clips with Brad! If you haven't seen this one yet... it sounds like you may also like our new segment with Erica Wernick where she talks about limiting beliefs - czcams.com/video/Yjgd5o2phso/video.html Either way, our best to you. Keep creating!
@@filmcourage Thanks a million! I have not seen the one with Erica yet (I definitely will), but I am currently reading her book, “Made For This.” Based on your interview with Brad from January. Thank you for all that you do! 🙏🏾
Oh wow, see how beautiful that is. Our best to you Tye!
@@filmcourage You're too cool to reply so. Thanks for the video recommendation😊👍
@@tyejohnson9400 I want to convey to certain friends that I made the mistake of "giving them 'the keys' " when they're opinion should've been but a consideration. Thanks for the metaphor, and for the book referral; this is why I read the comments - to find gems from thinking creative souls. Best to ya, Tye!😊👍
As an imaginative artist i believe it’s my role to believe in possibilities that don’t exist :D I do this in my art: I ignore the idea that ‘it’s all been done before and there’s nothing original’ - that’ll just defeat imagination and fresh experiences. In business it seems different. Thanks for sharing your ideas about this, you’ve put it in a way that seems to make more sense than the common memes. Maybe because I’ve struggled with acute shyness in a similar way. It’s an eye opener there’s a possible work around.
Brad Rushing presents Masterclass. So many gems here thanks.
Thanks for watching!
This guy is so smart. He inspires me. I’m learning to paint and his point of view on some things feels like it helps to open me up. Because I can so easily shut down.. I like this guy. He was able to find his way…
Did you find your art medium?
This guys a wise gentleman, thank you for your enlightening perspective Brad! its these thought processes that us artists have to hold dear.
These videos are like little digital mentor sessions, thanks Film Courage for this gold :))
Thank you and you are welcome.
Amen to that. I would go so far as to say that these thought processes, or lack thereof, are one of the main things holding back our race and our planet from Evolution. It's like our whole human race is grinding by, trying to hold on by the skin of their teeth to their dogmatic beliefs... they are everywhere you turn...academia, religious institutions, the scientific community, business, governments... and all of the social divisions that come along with all that baggage. It seems to me that a certain stage of consciousness choice becomes a player in evolution... increasingly so as evolution persists.
Let go.
See the possibilities.
This information feels illegal to know. Thank you so much for this!!
And so does knowledge of 'The Secret'.
My favorite comment ever. Thank you and you're welcome.
He's spot on about fixed ideas they've been done to the point of being stale imagination is the key a lot more free and interesting
Thanks for sharing this material .
I stopped the video when I could no longer hear it over the voice in my head screaming: "The world is what we make it, the world is what we make it!"
These interviews are great! Thank U 🙏🏽
This guy is outstanding.....keep talking please.
I always come back to Brad. My hero!
Thank you for sharing this 🍀
Great advice for life in general, too! Thanks for this video!
This is a great interview! 😊
Terrific!
Trust in your own senses is powerful and beautiful and true and yes no one knows exactly how things work and have a reasonable idea.....at the same time, things do move according to cause and affect which we are causing through our constant biasing for sure and impossible to do otherwise. So irrevocably it seems we play a larger part than we are taught to believe in our reality and manifesting through beliefs is true. Life is not happening to us but through us. Thank you for these interviews and sharing wisdom. Much Love.
In my honest opinion, the world of Screenwriting (and Hollywood itself) encompasses some fundamental ideas you must always bear in mind, some of them being BELIEVE and PERSEVERE.
Thanks a lot!
The possibility that do not exist... sounds like "hope"
Muy clara e inspiradora charla.
Alguien que habla español :D
Tienes razón, necesitamos admitir nuestros errores, pero tampoco dejar que nos pisen.
I needed this today.😊 Especially reminding me that I need a posse.🤠
Sometimes God, that is, The Christ within you (as per Neville Goddard) is the only posse you have, and often is the only posse you need; ultimately The One with whom you confer.
Wisely spoken sir!
Holy shit!
I actually understood this guy.
I like this guy. I like the way he thinks.
Brad is amazing. His advice empowers me to work towards my dream.
he explains so well --
Thank you.
@@BradRushing your secret fan following you on Insta :)))
I love this guy.
Shyness is a very hard thing to break away from. Especially after 68 years. I've been taking some coaching classes with a local talent agency so I can get some work in commercials to start with. I do good in the classes but when I get into the actual auditions my shyness shows up. I'm just starting out, so your video will help me continue to keep trying.
Thank you!
Wow I wish it and Film Courage delivers 🙏💕 I’ve really become a fan of Brad Rushing since the first video of his posted on this channel and have been hoping for more!!! Thank you :)
Thank you. I am flattered. It is an honor to contribute to you.
Exceptional
I feel almost too blessed to have watched this and given this knowledge! Was notified to watch & glad I did. Great channel, great content! 🙏 Can he be my mentor? Hahaha
Love this one as it speaks to where I am in life right now at a pretty advanced age and it's also valuable for pursuing my vision.
this one is maaaad important outside of the film industry as well! such a profound philosophy. identity is mad important, and we must guard it from ourselves just as much as from others. great stuff.
thank you both!
Why so "mad"?
Brad´s a very competent cinematographer.
And his talents cross borders.
This guy's great.
Wat up doe?? 💕💕 Great Video 💕💕💕
This advice is universal
This is genius! Thank you !
Cheers!
Nice
Must watch video for those who want to get into Hollywood as writers, film makers, etc.
Fu
The perspective he shares is universal for all walks of life.
Dear god - this man is exceptional to listen to. Have to understand his work now as well... Maybe that’s what he said in the other video 😉
Sosoososoo good and such an important thought everyone should weave into their DNA
Great to see you get some value out of this video Yasmin!
Cool interview. Insightful, and interesting. Brad Rushing is a lot more thoughtful, and worldly than most of the Cinematographers/DPs I have worked with. They as a breed in my experience are more 'left brained' and less empathetic/sensitive type people (not a bad thing) it is the nature of their work/job, and these are important characteristics to have to get the job done, and the film completed. I really like Film Courage. Respect.
Sensitivity is brilliance given a bad name.
the need to be right- “you might be right but you might not get that thing you want”
Self-victimization is the ultimate disempowering move, since you're not feeling responsible anymore of what you're doing.
I feel like that's why I can't stand most political stances, it's always an oppressors/victims world view rationalization.
Thanks for bringing up the power-from-within.
yes I do. I create possibilities!
i like this guy. how can I buy his stocks? 🚀🚀🚀
Let me talk to my accountant about doing an IPO. LOL. Thanks!
While these interviews cater for people who work in artistic and creative fields, I find them highly relatable to my current struggle for an academic career. Reflexibility is really the key to keeping your life goal alive. If we cannot separate the end from the means, we will find ourselves getting stuck easily and our dream drifting away.
Thanks for posting! Great to see you finding value here!
So great, encouraging and true!! May I share in FB?
I would be honored if you do, please. Thank you.
I'm reminded of a pretty great movie... and more specifically a pretty solid scene in that movie.
A little boy has been lied to, led astray, and generally jerked around most of his life, and he's just hitting the tween years when he's dumped off by his mother and her boyfriend to live with his Uncles... and at some point there's more lies and he's not even sure what to believe, and one of his uncles comes out to talk to him...
"I usually give a kind of a speech about becoming a man, when boys are a little older than you... BUT I think you could use a bit of that speech just about now. You see... As we grow into adulthood, we CHOOSE to believe in certain things. We believe in them, not because they're real or true. We believe in them because they're WORTH believing in... like... Good always triumphs over evil. It's patently UN-true. We still believe in it. We still tell our children to believe in it, because it's a principle that's WORTH that belief." ~Robert Duvall "Secondhand Lions"
It's a cute little movie, and a solid "coming of age" viewing, especially with kids (and TEENS) in the house, even if it's a tad "corn-ball"...
I doubt any of us would be here, watching this with Brad Rushing if we DIDN'T believe in opportunities whether they exist or not... DAMN whether they exist or not. They're worth believing in! ;o)
In my case its not that i wanted to be right. Just shifting into a different world view is daunting sometimes
❤❤❤
I use these for my writing not movies I'm trying to write a book but idk how lol these really help
Film directors are the smartest people. I can sense that a lot of actors would accept a role if Brad's at the helm.
@7:23 🍓, clearly.
I agree with everything he says but what if you don't have mentors do you just keep going or you keep reaching out to people?
Find me mentors. Use social media. Use IMDb Pro.
Such is life.
That which is possible often laughs in the face of the more probable outcome.
I often find myself citing what is more probable, myself. It keeps me feeling sane.
But I wouldn't dare blaspheme the possibility gods.
Yeah, but 'WHAT IF..?!
Thank you SO MUCH for this. Last night, I declared that the next time I see someone say, “Stop being a ‘victim,” I was gonna punch them in the face. (Not really. Just a figure of speech.) 😬 Seeing & hearing you today, shows me that the Universe is so much with me & has my back & nope, I’m not a victim. Thanks so much for this message. & Yeah. Punching somebody in the face for just saying something is an immediate fail. 🤣🤣🤣❤️🙏🏽😁
Does Mr. Rushing have a Twitter?
I saw how Kung Fury was brought to life via KickStarter. Is posting a quick 4 minute video clip (video #1) of my intended plan for a 9 part series of short 4-5 minute videos a great idea?
Some people are held back by the gatekeepers and when they are life can be difficult. I deny this happens is the conspiracy! 🤔
5:58 What if you don't have friends?
In my book its alright to talk shit if you got the shaft, but...keep going.
Man, I wish Brad took his time at least once
Dear Brad, please be my mentor huhu ;A;
Brad's shirt is not of this world lol
That must be why I like it so much!
Google is evil. The CZcams path is vanilla with shit sprinkles. Dailymotion, Rumble, Brighteon, Odysee are all options worth exploring.
successful comes only with secrecy
What do you mean?
Go to your mentor. Give me a break.
The circuity, blah, blah, blah . . .
