How to Shoot Super 16mm Film with Egon Stephen Jr.
So you want to be a filmmaker. You want to put the FILM back into FILMmaking. Well this episode is for you. Film is not dead. It has been quietly working in the background of the industry.
Some of the productions that shooting film these days are:

Mad Max: Fury Road
Noah
The Avengers
The Bourne Legacy
Captain America: The First Avenger
Iron Man 2
The Magnificent Seven
Westworld
The Girl on the Train
The Walking Dead


Jack Reacher
Batman vs Superman
Star Wars: The Force Awakens


Star Wars: Rogue One
Spectre
The Hateful Eight
Jurassic World
Wonder Woman
American Horror Story
Star Trek

The knowledge to shoot film is dying. There's nowhere online where you can take a course on how to shoot Super 16mm film. The "workshops" available are extremely expensive and don't really give you practical knowledge from someone who has actually shot in the field.
I wanted to put together an online course to preserve that knowledge for future filmmakers. Today's guest, Director of Photography Egon Stephen Jr, and I got together and shot The Definitive Super 16 mm Film Masterclass.
So in today's show Egon and I drop some knowledge bombs on shooting film. So if you ever wanted to know if shoot "real" was an option for your indie feature or short film then perk up those ears. Enjoy my conversation with Egon Stephen Jr.
