Proud to see how far this man has come

Hey Chris, used to watch your channel as a kid. I’m actually studying film right now at college and really like how you have evolved as an independent film maker. Definitely learned a lot from you.

[@ChristopherCoxFilm]

Hi Brandon, welcome back! That's awesome to hear you're studying film now. I've only now come to realize how much of my audience from my nerf days went on to pursue filmmaking themselves. I hope to give tons of advice relevant to your new experiences as I have learned a lot over the years in my own journey :)

[@dylansoltis146]

Thanks for the advice Chris! About to start a shoot in 15 minutes and this was very helpful! Can't wait to see the new movie.

[@ChristopherCoxFilm]

Good luck on the shoot!

[@joshuagrapher]

Holding a take instead of cutting is fantastic advice, definitely wish I'd thought of that on some previous shoots.

[@DryptosaurusDavid]

Thanks for the advice Chris.

Dam I remember growing up watching him he looks so different now 😭

[@kovalfetterer2218]

Keep it up!

Very fun. I remember hearing Kyle from Door Monster also say that you want to do as much as possible to avoid "we'll fix it in post."
Unrelated thought: Short films are way way faster to make than longer films, especially me as an animator, but it's harder to make a meaningful experience with less time. Have you felt this as an independent film maker?

[@delludyri8231]

Nothing is ever easy? Secreteriat is an easy movie, we’re not making casablanca

[@ChristopherCoxFilm]

True. But not as true as the fact that Honeydew is the Jared Leto of fruits 🍈🤮

[@CA17206]

What do you think you could make with a budget of 100k?

[@lime848]

Hola, como estas?

[@ryandamon714]
